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

Aussie grab I am so sorry xx

I'm sorry for those of you who don't have happy memories of their parents.

Dinnae cast a cloot, till May is oot!
Do not discard warm clothing at glimpses of the sun cos it is freezing still - Scotland lol

Yes I too feel sorry for those without happy memories of their parents. I loved mine dearly and still miss them. 'Least said soonest mended '! Oh, and ' The soft answer turneth away wrath ' That actually does work, well, sometimes!!

My dad would often say ‘You haven’t washed your neck’ and he was usually right. 😏

I swear my mum was psychic when it came to knowing about unwashed necks, untucked vests, and other crimes against all that is decent.
She checked necks, random spot checks, and we betide anyone who had a "tide mark".

Oh yes, the English version too.
Cast ne'er a clout
'Til May is out

Is it the month or the flower?

My mother had a thing about vests.
I was allowed to leave the vest off at Whitsun and start wearing summer dresses.

Going out without a vest my Dad would say I'd be sorry when i was older as I'd have a bad back! The chill I suppose!

And always got the thing about May and clout!

I came out with
“Would you be as quick in my grave?” to DS the other day when he sat in MY chair. My father used to say it.
He was a miserable bu##er.

When I laugh I hear my mother.

My MIL would warn about your kidneys getting chilled.
The vests had to be long.

She'd be horrified if she could see her DGGGD!

DGGD!!

Yes and I love it. Cooking …Mom is there, as well as cleaning. Dad is there when I’m gardening or working on the lawn…sometimes grilling. Makes me feel good.

My dad died when I was 5 but I can still remember him cleaning the shoes and teaching me about elbow grease a wonderful product.
If I rolled my sleeves up DG would ask if I was planning to do a day's washing.

Cuddling the dog I hear mum say not to put my face next to the dog’s head. She didn’t trust dogs. I trust mine and do it despite the warning voice in my head.
