Best sayings!

[ipukepoodles]

I didn't really know where to post this and couldn't see a post already started (apologies if there is!) but what are the best sayings you've heard since being a parent? I read this one today: Being a young mum means we met a little early, but I get to love you longer. Some people said my life ended when I had a baby but my life really just started. You didn't take away my future but you gave me a new one. I'm proud of being a young mum and all the young mums out there should be too!
Were you told any words of wisdom by other mums before you became a parent? I have one DS and I'm 22. I was told I was ruining my life but I know I have only improved it! Anyone else told similar things?!

Cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow for babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow.. so quiet down cobwebs dust go to sleep cos I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep!

If you can't beat them, join them!

In response to "you're making a rod for your back"

"oh do fuck off"

not my finest hour but someone i went to school with was giving me a really hard time about being married and with 2 DSs by the age of 21, when she was at college 'bettering herself' she said 'look at you, so young but tied down with kids/house etc'

she hurt my feelings no end, prob why i replied with

'better than playing at overgrown schoolgirls like you, now fuck off and do your homework'

My mother was filled with wisdom and sayings..
There's no peace for the witty!
One swallow doesn't make a supper!
A wide pan only makes shallow soup!
People in glass houses shouldn't count their chickens until the cows come home.
A faint heart never catches the worm!
It's being so going as keeps me cheerful!
A bird in the hand butters no parsnips!
A nod's as good as a wink to a dead donkey!
A watched pot makes most sound!
There's no good putting all your eggs in the same boat!
There's always a train at the end of the tunnel!
It's like the blind leading a horse to water!
A rolling stone is worth two in the bush!
Never buy a pig in a bucket with a hole in it!
You get the gist.
