Things My Mother Taught Me
My Mother taught me LOGIC... "If you fall off that swing and break your neck, you can't go to the store with me."
My Mother taught me MEDICINE... "If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they're going to freeze that way."
My Mother taught me TO THINK AHEAD... "If you don't pass your spelling test, you'll never get a good job!"
My Mother taught me ESP... "Put your sweater on; don't you think that I know when you're cold?"
My Mother taught me TO MEET A CHALLENGE... "What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you... Don't talk back to me!"
My Mother taught me HUMOR... "When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me."
My Mother taught me how to BECOME AN ADULT... "If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up.
My mother taught me ABOUT SEX... "How do you think you got here?"
My mother taught me about GENETICS... "You are just like your father!"
My mother taught me about my ROOTS... "Do you think you were born in a barn?"
My mother taught me about the WISDOM of AGE... "When you get to be my age, you will understand."
My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION... "Just wait until your father gets home."
My mother taught me about RECEIVING... You are going to get it when we get home.
And my all time favorite thing -- JUSTICE... "One day you will have kids, and I hope they turn out just like YOU. Then you'll see what it's like."

Have you ever taken the time to just stop and think about the things your mother has taught you ?
On Mother’s Day many people take the time to express how great their mothers are and how much they love them.
I happen to feel the same way about mine — but not everyone thinks their mom is the greatest.
Regardless of whether your feelings are positive or negative towards your mother, I’m sure she taught you lifeskills and things about life.
In honor of my mother, here is a list of some of the things my mother has taught me:
1 – How to love – showing others you love them through your actions
2 – Be quiet and listen to others
3 – Patience with others
4 – Acceptance – how to let others be who they are
5 – Kindness – be kind to others
6 – Manners
7 – Be helpful
8 – Be supportive of others
9 – Be independent – be able to support yourself financially
10 – How to be a wife
11 – How to care for others
12 – How to put others needs first
13 – How to live a balanced life – there’s a time for work and a time for play
14 – How not to cry over spilt milk – move on, life goes on
15 – How to be angry and still do what needs to be done, or what is expected
16 – How to shop
17 – How to cook; How to cook balanced meals
18 – How to entertain – how to make others feel welcome in your home
19 – How to do what needs to be done without waiting for someone else to do it
20 – How to give good gifts – give gifts designed with the person (recipient) in mind
21 – You mess it up, you clean it up – everyone needs to pick up after themselves
22 – Communication – remain calm and talk it out, no need to shout
23 – How to work together, how to work as a team in a relationship
24 – Broaden your horizons
25 – You are responsible for your own happiness
So, in honor of your mother, please take a few minutes and think –
What are some things your mother has taught you ?
I will say that your list is so accurate, when I saw the title of this I thought about what my mum has taught me and honestly she is why I am who I am and she said to me the other week ' Do you know I don't think we've ever had an argument' and do you know I think she's right, my dad is different but I've learnt a lot from my mum.
