Oh dear, AIBU to have turned into my mum/dad?

[Cathycomehome]

I just yelled "Turn that bloody racket down, for the love of God, this is not a disco!"

FGS, I've said all of these I think!
I'm finding myself constantly going on about the music (?) that DS listens to though, he gives it back all the time - told me that I listen to 'ancient' music... step forward Destiny's Child...

Oh and I catch myself saying my dad's favourite saying:

"We can do the the hard way or the easy way. You choose."

'what time do you call this?'

"you make a better door than you do a window". I'm enjoying this thread, but can anyone tell me what this means? Thanks

"You'd make a better door than a window" when DD blocks my view of the TV.

That's one of my grandad's - I'm modelling pride in family traditions to DD.

We're all coming out with the same ones! Were parents issued with manuals full of these, back in the mid-20th century?!

I found myself saying one of my late fathers phrases the other day... Apparently it was said to him at Sandhurst when he was doing officers training..
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way... The easy way isn't easy but by god the hard way is hard". He would be so pleased!

"You treat this place like a hotel"

What about, "I've only got one pair of hands, you know!!!!!"

The first time I heard that little gem trip out of my mouth, I paused in shock and had to be revived with gin.........

Love this thread...'Do you think I'm made of money?'
