I'm working on an idea to decorate for our annual Mother's Day brunch, and need a good collection of Mom-isms. You know, like "Don't let the bedbugs bite" or "I don't care who started it, I'm ending it right now" (I heard that one a lot when fighting with my sister. LOL) Thanks in advance everyone! 
"Don't make me stop this car!"
"It's six to one and a half dozen to the other."
"I'll beat you within an inch of your life!" (ok, so that one's not very nice, but I heard it! Then I got smart and said, "you can't measure my life that way!" geez, I was a smart alec)
"This is gonna hurt me more than it'll hurt you."
Really, guys, my mom wasn't abusive--I was just a pain in the you-know-what and because of that, I heard this one a lot too....
"I hope you have kids just like you someday!" 
"Close that door, you weren't raised in a barn!!"
"If I have to tell you one more time...."
and although I was the tidy one of the four of my siblings and I, I heard this so much and now I am constantly saying the same thing,
"Clean your room!"
The number one thing I said to my children as they were leaving the house is "Did you brush your teeth?" apparently I said it so much when they were yonger that now they joke with me about it!
I have two boys so here you go....
"Be quiet"
"Sit down"
"Don't hit your brother"
"Not right now"
"Do you want to go to time out?"
And this one is really common around here right now....
" No, you can't have any frosting until Mommy is finished with the cake!"
1! 2! if I get to three you're grounded"
"5! 4! if I get to one you'll be sorry"
"you are as hard headed as the day is long"
"I had the worlds best children, thats why I stopped"
"I will always love you, no matter what happens"
"I trust you, just not everyone else"
"One day when I am gone, you will understand why"
"you will never know how much I love you until you have kids yourself"
"you will make a good mom some day"
and not until the movie STEPMOM had I heard something like this...
"I have your past, you'll have your future, and we will share the present"
I could go on and on..... and until this day I still call my mom mommy!
"I am so very proud of who you've become"
I could go on and on....
"Wait till your father gets home"
I know i heard that one all the time and even say it to my own now.
My Dad tells me when my kids are giving me fits... "Your paying for your raising" otherwards, I'm paying for all the things I did to him & Mom when I was a kid!
If Mom's not happy nobody's happy!
This is not Burger King... You can't have it your way!!
God grant me patience but please hurry!
Money isn't everything but it keeps the kids in touch..
I tell my kids, "Just wait till you have kids"...
I know I will have more later... this is fun!
Oh yeah a couple of more
"get out of the refridgerator"
"you're not hungry you're bored"
"keep your eyes on the road, and your hands on the steering wheel"
My favorite momism has to be...
If God had wanted you to have holes in your ears, he would have put them there!
I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 26--LOL!
I wouldn't talk back to DM but I always thought...I do have holes in my ears!
I also love that commercial with the Dad and his daughter and then with his daughter as a Mom. It's for plastics....I can't remember exactly what they said but it was something like If she makes it to 10, it'll be a miracle, if she makes it to 18, it'll be a miracle...
I have a couple
A hard head makes for a soft behind
suck your teeth again, you'll be picking them up off the floor
Who are you talking to, I'm not one of your little friends
You're getting beside yourself (never knew how I did that)
Don't make me have to come back there
sure sounds like we were bad kids huh???? can we play nice here???? 
I've heard everyone of these I believe!
My favorite children's book is, "I'll love you forever, I'll love you for always" then it says, "As long as I'm living my baby you'll be". I can't remember the author. I still have the book somewhere. Anyway.. my nearly 18 yr old son & 15 yr old daughter still say that to me but they say "As long as we're living our mommy you'll be"!! Isn't that soooooooo sweet!!! When I'm mad at them all they have to do is say that & I melt!!!! I will read that book to my grandkids one day a long, long, long time from now! I've started a new tradition~
Another cute thing...
GOTTA LOVE EM'!!!!
I forgot... my kids still sit in my lap when they want some lovin'!!! I always thought I was a mean mom... but I guess I'm not so bad after all!!!
That is funny you requested this. I just finished a newsletter for my store and these were included in the Mother's Day article. Didn't have time to read everyone's, so some may be duplicated. I am getting ready to leave work. Hope you find something you can use.
*I¡¯ll give you something to cry about!
*Why? Because I SAID SO, that¡¯s why!
*Do you think that money grows on trees?
*Were you born in a barn?
*If you can¡¯t say something nice, don¡¯t say anything at all.
*You don¡¯t have to like it, you just have to eat it.

This brings back memories, I think my DM said all of those mentioned, I am the oldest and have 2 brothers so we were always fighting or 2 of us were picking on the third.
My favorite though was: Money doesn't grow on trees
and, when I wanted to do something my friends were doing or if I wanted something my friends had my mom would always say........so if your friends jumped off a bridge you would too??
I still say-Im your mother not your maid, you don't have to like it you just have to do it, you are entitiled to your opinion and I am entitled to my rules-you can express yours and I can enforce mine, I changed my mind-I'm allowed-IM MOM and that gives me more rights. I pay the bills I make the rules-you pay the bills-it's time to move out!! But I also say=every achievement is it's proudest moment and I could not be prouder of you -
Those are great! Here are some more:
"Go ask your father!"
"NO!"
You're gonna sit there until that plate is clean!"
"NO!"
"Time for bed, NOW!"
"NO!"
"Go back and do it again!"
"NO!"
"Use soap!"
"I ALREADY SAID NO!!"
"How many more time do you want me to tell you?"
You guys are too fun. These are a blast to read! Brought back lots of memories too. I had almost forgotten the ol' "Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about" line. That one was used a lot in my house growing up.
Here's a funny: the other day I was addressing my son (for about the 4th or 5th time), asking him to get off the back of the couch. I lost my patience and said his first and middle name as I started to scold him. My husband said he had a horrible flashback at that moment and almost thought that he was the one in trouble. LOL!
Thank you all for these! Please feel free to post more if you think of them. I'm compiling them for a Mother's Day project.
Momsandraven, I completely forgot about the stop crying one....we heard that ALOT. (not that we were all cry-babies mind-you)
Your story just reminded me too that my mom used to call me Missy (my name is actually Vickie so you know when she was really mad). Til this day I HATE the name Missy.
These are too funny!!
I'd like to add onto the bed bug one,
"Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite, if they do hit them with a shoe until they're black and blue..."
My mom always (and still does at times) called me her "Little ladybug"
Whenever I would say, "I'm bored." My mom would say "Find something to do."
edit note- changed blank to black, hehe I knew that
