Pet hates

walkerscrisps · Oct 22nd, 2009, 11:36 AM

Does anyone have any pet hates that their parents used to say to them when they were younger?

One of mine was "I'm not impressed"

i cannot STAND when people say that.

my mum said it to me when i was younger and all i remember saying is
"i really couldn't care less if you're not impressed, i wasn't trying to impress you"
my dad hit me pretty hard after i said it, lol. however i think it worked cause she never said it again.

"Stop being so dramatic/histrionic/etc.!"

I wasn't an over-dramatic kid, but it seemed anytime I was upset about something my mom told me to quit being a drama queen! grrrrr That made me so much more upset than I already was!

^ I'm with her! My mom says "aren't you being a bit dramatic?" to me and it drives me nuts! I am not whatsoever, lol. Then to other people she makes comments like I don't complain enough when I am injured/sick

"If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?"

This was said when the few times I told her "my friends are allowed to do such and such."

"do you know how many starving children there are in the world" when I refused to eat something. And yes I've said that to my one year old

^ I say that often to my 6 and 7 year old.
