lol, thats hilarious

My mums a big softy so when i gets angry she gets brutal just to make a point

her favorite was

"as long as u live under my roof u will do as i say" ( i tried running away a number of times but i had no where to go  cheesy)
"u devil child, i will beat the evil out of u" or "i will beat the uselessness out of u" (depending on how bad i was and then she'd proceed to whoop my ass)


LOL, those were the days
Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by Gamine(f): 11:46pm On Mar 19, 2008
My mum hardly said such lines.

YOU DONT HAVE ANOTHER MOTHER!!!!!!

was her favorite.

Then she'd just use anything in her reach to beat you.
Cane
Bottle
pot
keg
shoe
that thing they use for turning eba/amala/semo cheesy
e.t.c
Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by HRhotness(f): 12:02am On Mar 20, 2008

Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by bigfather(m): 12:08am On Mar 20, 2008
Mothers can be very funny atimes grin grin grin,my father hardly ever complains.
My mum usually goes;
Omo ti o ba so pe iya ohun o ni sun,omo na gan o ni fi oju kan oru n ! undecided
Meaning : A child that says his mother will not sleep,the child will definately not sleep too !
And another annoying part is that she compares me with the neigbour's children,saying those ones are far more better than i am,meeennnn that statement really got me so crazy angrythen but thank God she is really enjoying the fruit of her labour. No more odd statement ! grin grin
Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by Nobody: 12:10am On Mar 20, 2008
My mom when she got angry would say

These children,you people won't kill me.

God will not allow me to utter any bad word

I won't say your kids should treat you the way you've treated me  yet she said it

I'm not training you so I can eat you , it is for you to be useful to yourself

then the one I hated the most,since I was a tomboy growing up,loved to climb trees and play ball with the boys

don't you know you're a girl,what do you call those things growing on your chest

the above made me maaaaaaaaaaaaaad
Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by Dreloaded(f): 12:14am On Mar 20, 2008
It's either you bend or you break grin

big father:

Mo
Omo ti o ba so pe iya ohun o ni sun,omo na gan o ni fi oju kan oru n ! undecided
Meaning : A child that says his mother will not sleep,the child will definately not sleep too !

My brother gets this all the time.
Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by Nobody: 12:14am On Mar 20, 2008

You're always arguing , exactly like your father
Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by Nobody: 12:16am On Mar 20, 2008

Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by 4Him(m): 12:26am On Mar 20, 2008

Anybody that says I did not train you well, thunder will fire you and the person

The above from stillwater is still cracking me up
I think most mothers used thunder in one way or another but this one is not just for the child but for any one that questions her motherly skills
2 in 1 thunder ROFL
Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by Gamine(f): 2:06am On Mar 20, 2008
My mum used to teach , so she had canesss cheesy

"i will never stay out late again" grin

one of my most memorable punishments was to drink 10 bottles of water!

Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by sweetberry(f): 8:20am On Mar 20, 2008
funny that i can relate to some of the post!!!!!!

oh my daddy when we have done something bad he always say "go and choose your belt" and we tend to choose the medium one cos if you choose the small one he will go and choose the biggest of all

my mum never beats you suddenly apart from slaps, what my mum says is i will beat you this evening, oh the mental toture!!! i won't be able to eat, play or whatever all i will be thinking about is the beating i will be getting that night

when my mummy is really angry she tends to end all her sentences with "nonsence and ingredient"
Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by sweetberry(f): 9:32am On Mar 20, 2008

[size=13pt]That's real funny. Let your bro come to Naija and call social service.[/size]
Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by Scopium: 10:15am On Mar 20, 2008
[size=13pt]There was a certain time my parents thought I've gone BADDER than I really was when I was in the boarding school and that annoyed me. They accused me of things I never even imagined. They said if I don't listen to them I'll grow up useless. My mum will always say
When you walk in the street people will point at you and say 'see that useless child'.
One day I was so pissed and my mum said that again and I retorted
When you walk in the street people will point at you and say 'see the mother of that useless child'.
She was so shocked. From that day she stopped saying that. And I felt very bad. I planned for eternity on how to apologise but couldn't do it. That's like 10 years now and I didn't grow up useless!

Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by Glorya(f): 11:30am On Mar 22, 2008
my mom is the 'i will beat u' type who never gets to doing the beating. The only weapon she has is i will tell your daddy, then come and see begging. All the mummy please and mummy i promise will then come out from our mouths.
Re: African Parent Cathchphrases & Punishment by Nobody: 5:48pm On Mar 22, 2008
