Cussing.. My mom used to cuss.. She didn't used frick, pussy or anything like that, but she would throw shite or son of a bitch around like it was nothing and I remember one time.. When I was a teenager for whatever reason I was on a roll "son of a bitch this, shite that".. And she slapped me in the back of the head and I told her that she says it so why does she care about me saying it and she told me "do as I say, not as I do".. I remember telling her it doesn't work like that and she probably told me "in my house it does"

Being made to eat my vegetables & being spanked if I refused. Now I’m the healthy one & my dad refuses the same stuff he spanked me over.

My dad has for many years now eaten his dessert first. He's got severe dementia now so he forgets most everything, but not that he likes dessert first!

Now he watches Fox News every night until he gets raging mad and storms off to bed

Mine watches Fox nightly to unwind and get some levity. My grandda, however, watches CNN religiously and is a good old party member, raging mad and repeating the party approved talking points eerily like the street level ANTIFA communists on the streets.

Smoking, but it was to save us from going down that path (and it worked).

Banging family members. Dad and mom hooked up all the time but shamed me for making a play at my hot cousin.

my old man would say "in or out" when we would go in/out the door too much, mainly in the summer.

Not sure why he cared because we had no A/C.

Its actually what I have done to my kids…my parents were good role models.

I cuss like a sailor. Very unladylike. My husband does as well. Mostly just at home. Yes- it’s trashy and actually oddly uncharacteristic for us both. We have always admonished the kids not to curse.

My son is an adult and can do what he wants, but I never hear him curse. Im sure he does at work or with friends. When he was about 12, though, he dropped something or hurt himself in his room and I heard an epic string of curses. It was almost impressive. He has just always shown restraint.


Never heard my daughter say anything but “bitch” and she used it well so I didnt say anything to her.

Spank him if he refuses to eat his vegetables. They’re good for him.

My parents convinced my brother and I that the dishwasher used too much electricity so we could only use it occasionally

Limits on screen time. We are HARD on our kids about screen time, but my wife and I often melt into the couch scrolling social media or playing iPhone games


Yeah, but you've done your time and earned the right to be able to do that. They haven't.
