do you hear the voice of a parent every time you do a certain task ?

Yes I often hear and often quote my mother

No can’t say I do, maybe they didn’t say anything all that memorable.

My Mum (gone in 1995) is still reminding me to clean my teeth and wash my hands - and have I got a clean handkerchief?

Not particularly though I always think ,when tempted to say something nasty about someone, of what my Mum said,
‘If you can’t say anything nice about someone, don’t say anything at all’ Serves me well.

When I walk about barefoot……my father’s voice……Go and put some shoes on! We had stone floors and a very cold house.

TV related.
If the continuity announcer says,

‘Coming up next… (insert title of disapproved of program - probably on ITV)’

I hear the voice of my mom briskly saying,

‘Not in this house it isn’t!’

Grandparent actually. When shopping at Christmas time, my Nanna’s voice saying “You know better than that”, should my hand hover near paper table napkins, jars of mincemeat, or, horror of horrors “bought” mince pies. The only item I have resisted of late is the paper napkins. Actually during the rest of the year it is anything that you could actually make yourself. I think it’s my own guilt, I used to do all the home made stuff, but lately my standards have dropped - hers didn’t even in her early nineties,

Oh I can relate! Without fully realising it I have turned into a combination of my Mum & Dad! “I’ll do what I like” was my late Mum’s Mantra - I’m embracing that more and more. “Never do a job unless you can do it well” was my perfectionist Dad’s view on everything.

Yes, every time I attempt to turn up a hem or sew on a button I hear my mother: 'stitches as big as hedge stakes, stitches as big as hedge stakes!'
One reason I took a vow when quite young that I would work really hard and get a good job so I would never need to make my own clothes.
But I can cook well.

Picking up secateurs to prune the roses I hear my dad telling me to cut to an outside bud - and then hear him sigh if I don’t!

Yes , very often.

I also hear the voice of my Driving Instructor, “are you really going to overtake here” or “ are we going to get out of second gear soon”

I don't hear the voice, but every time I pass a mirror, a much fatter version of my late mum is looking at me

When I'm at my sewing machine, "Don't bodge it!" frequently rings in my ears!!

A little bit of help is worth a lot of pity.

When I use a tip inherited from my lovely Mum I can almost see her looking in disbelief that I had even listened to her and actually absorbed what she had said. Wonderful and generates a mutually warm and living smile (along with a delightfully knowing wink!) every time. Magic.......

Not my parents but there are certain things that make me think of dear departed friends. When I make a cup of green tea I hear my friend telling me not to boil the water because her Chinese students advised her about that. My parents didn’t have a phone but I can still hear friends voices on the phone. Especially one friend whose telephone message was ‘we’ll call you back….but only if we like you’.

Oh yes, definitely. I hear both parents but mostly my mum. Lots of good advice and thoughts, though some now are less relevant. A favourite of mine and my sister's is: "you could make it for less!" when looking at clothes in shops.

My lovely grandmother's quite voice.💜
'Caw canny lass, caw canny'.
(Always serves as a useful reminder in certain situations)

Scrubbing my back door step one day and finding it hard to remove a green water stain with the scrubbing brush, I clearly heard Mrs. L saying "Use a chookie stane, lassie"

She maintained to her dying day, and, apparently, long after it as well that a stone door step should be scoured with a small pebble.= a chookie stane in Scots.

Mrs L. "helped with the housework" no one would have affronted her by calling her a cleaner or a charwoman and she contributed just as much in the way of love and guidence to my sister and me as children as our parents did.

Apart from Mrs L. I also hear my paternal grandmother describing things left on the floor as being hung on the highest peg in the house, and Aunt Isa (any Scot of my age had at least one Aunt Isa, so she is completely anonymous even when named,) saying "Tak' your coat off, so ye feel the good of it when ye gae oot agin."

It's my grandmothers (both of them) who take it in turns to look out of mirrors and shop windows at me!

If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. (As I do jobs badly, because I didn't think they were worth doing in the first place)

My Mum always did her washing on a Monday and despaired at me for not doing the same. Whenever I put the washing machine on and it isn't a Monday I see her disapproving face.

I am occasionally reminded of the odd saying my mum would have, but I always swore that if I heard her voice coming out of my mouth, that would be the end of things!
