Irish mammies

OK not just mammies but parenting in Ireland.

Watched a tic toc yesterday and it was literally asking do all Irish mammies do this. Out in shop and you say to the child who is misbehaving " wait till I get you to the car"

Had a great laugh with a friend this morning about this, it's definitely something we do.

Mine was "I'm counting to 3". Or if my son got his full name he knew he was in trouble.

The wooden spoon or just that look your mother gave you and you knew you were in trouble.

“If you fall and break your leg, don’t come running to me”

Ok....???

I don’t know when exactly it happened, but one my kids were being brats and I opened my mouth and my mother started talking. The Mammyisms are strong here..

Growing up in NI we were used to having regular visits from the British army during surveys.

They arrived the day Arsenal were playing Ipswich in the 1978 FA Cup final and one of the soldiers obviously had a sense of humour.

When it came to asking about weapons on the premises he said " Apart from the rolling pin and wooden spoon that is"

Same..my name is so laid back ...I don't think I ever saw him lose the head

Last year myself and my brothers had a wooden spoon mounted on a plinth with a number 1 Irish mammy painted on the bottom for mothers day for her

Nothing wielded as much power and threat as the unforgiving dreaded wooden spoon!

My wee Irish Mammie gave us The Look and that hurt more than any physical action.

I always knew I was in trouble even into my 50's before she passed when she called me by my full name...lol

Interestingly my daughter is a head teacher and says if she or any of her colleagues call a pupil by their full name then it usually means they have done something wrong too...

I remember laughing hysterically when my mother broke the wooden spoon on me

Not so happy when she then produced the flexible plastic one that wouldn't break so easily and stung worse

"The wooden Spoon "

I used to laugh at my mother with the wooden spoon, she was a gentle creature really. Barely tipped me with it or if she went to slap me it was always so gentle that i giggled at her.

The side eye look or when you heard your full name called time to run.

Sayings:

Shut your mouth and eat your dinner.

If you break your legs don't come running to me.
