What is the BEST advice your parents/guardians ever gave you? AND what is the WORST advice?
My mom taught my sister and I to take responsibility for our actions, be a genuine person and don’t give up. I honestly can’t remember any bad advice from her as she raised us alone and was upbeat through tough times.
There was so many good points my mom made thru out my life it’s hard to pick one. But I guess judge not lest ye be judged was at the top.
As for bad advice........ NONE!
My father gave excellent advice...and plenty of it. It’s funny how, when asked for a specific favorite, i stumble. So, instead, i will share a few of the sage bits I have used the most in my life.
The only think i can think of that would possibly qualify as “bad advice” is...“enjoy your youth...they are the best years of your life!” I think this is simply not true. While my youth may have been the most carefree years of my life, they were far from the best years of my life!
My Dad always told me to “keep my house in order.” It took me a long time to realize that he wasn’t talking about housekeeping. He was advising me to pay my bils, care for y kids, and to maintain a close relationship with God. My Dad also told me that if I ever got pulled over for speeding that I should clutch my stomach and tell the officer I had a wicked case of the runs. It works every time!
The worst advice I was ever given by a parent was from my mother, when she was teaching me how to drive. These were her Road Rules:
1. Do NOT slow down around corners. Speed up!
2. Don’t waste time looking over your shoulder before you change lanes. Signal and move - those other suckers will get out of the way.
XOXO.
Well, the one thing my mother said that I didn’t get was, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too“. I really couldn’t figure out why we’d have cake and not eat it? LOL

the best advice that my Mother gave to me is that not everyone is supposed to be your friend and that not ever friend is meant to be someone that you confide in. Confidence and trust is earned
