"I have a prediction for your life, Alexis. You are going to get fucked, get pregnant, have an abortion, and end up an alcoholic lesbian."unknown116 says,
Oh jeez! Your parents sound pleasant..."You don't know what's right for you. Only I know what's right for you."
And so many more...

My parents...I couldn't begin to tell you...My daughter told me something I used to say that seemed so innocent on my part, but caused her great distress:
"Let's not get carried away."
I can see now that it probably was a real enthusiasm-buster. The truth is, I don't even remember saying it. Parents say the dardest things!

Here's a good one from my mother.... " I am your mother and don't you forget it! I know what is right for you and believe me you are not going on the right path!" (I had no idea what path she was taking about)ba_miracle says,
My mother was mentally ill so the things she said were almost always crazy making. Sometimes it was the more subtle things that were most difficult to come to grips with.I can only imagine all the offhanded things I've said to my daughter that she survived/thrived through.
