25 Truths My Mother Definitely Had Right
If you’ve ever caught yourself exclaiming, “Wow, I sound just like my mom!” then you’re about to enjoy a delightful read. It turns out our mothers had a knack for being right about nearly everything. Just the other day, I found myself channeling my mom while scolding my daughter, “You don’t need to bathe for hours! No one is that clean!”
My mom had an uncanny ability to predict the lifespan of my relationships long before I met my partner. Her insights on my interests and hobbies were often spot-on. And as I navigated adulthood, she offered sage advice on everything from tax forms to the ins and outs of childbirth classes, much to my teenage eye-rolling annoyance. Fast forward to me now, knee-deep in parenthood, and I can wholeheartedly affirm that my mother—like most moms—was right about so many things. I owe her an apology for every sigh and eyeroll I directed her way.
Here are 25 nuggets of wisdom my mom was absolutely spot on about:
- Every woman deserves a well-fitted bra.
- A great lipstick can make you feel invincible—think Tina Fey-level confidence.
- Marriage isn’t a battlefield or a sappy movie; think of it more like a retirement fund that requires decades of effort.
- Some partners are meant for fun, while others are for forever; learn to spot the difference.
- If it resembles a blue ribbon winner at the science fair, toss it out of your fridge.
- Change your underwear daily. Seriously.
- Money doesn’t sprout from trees, but it can grow steadily with wise investments.
- Moderation is key—especially with fun things like adult beverages and, um, other activities.
- Is that tattoo really a smart move? Because at 85, the cute stars on your lower back will look more like a cosmic mess.
- Avoid trash-talking friends or foes—what goes around comes around.
- Think before you post online; your future employer might see that.
- You won’t perish without a pony, but air, water, and food are essentials. Know the difference between needs and wants.
- A true friend will forgive you for being a jerk once in a while.
- Mixing business with pleasure is a slippery slope.
- You don’t need to diet all the time; savor that slice of cake occasionally.
- Size doesn’t matter—unless we’re talking about something else. What were we discussing again?
- No amount of makeup will stop the aging process; embrace the quirks of growing older.
- Master the art of stain removal to save on dry cleaning bills.
- Your child will occasionally act like a brat, and chances are, you will too.
- Treat your feet right! Cheap shoes are a false economy.
- Your vagina isn’t just a novelty item. Period.
- Cars lose value the moment you drive them off the lot; aim for reliable, not flashy.
- Some things last forever—hello, herpes.
- Sometimes, silence is golden. Be the one who can truly listen.
- Never go to bed angry; it only leads to wrinkles.
