What little gems did your parents pass down to you?

What advice have you passed onto your kids or would?

I always stand by....

Don't do as I do, do as I say!

When looking at a new motorbike to buy my grandad used to say this little gem

'When your arse begins to spread, buy a Goldwing instead'

Needless to say he wasn't a Goldwing motorbike fan

Not to my kids - but I met a lovely guy who’s new to fab today. I get the feeling he’ll go back to a vanilla relationship fairly soon - so I told him to make the most of his time here and fulfil as many fantasies as possible - whether that’s a guy on guy experience - sex with a sexy tv/ts - an orgy - or any other achievable fantasies he may have.

He looked like someone who needs to grab life by the balls more.

Lovely chap though and very handsome.

Ladies cum/come first

Family first

Manners make the man

Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you

Never throw the first punch, but make sure you throw the last

No means no

Always have a safe word

Dad - Stand up for what you believe in.

And my grandad once sat me down, took out a £20 note, set fire to it and dropped it in an ashtray to burn...then said to me "if you can't afford to do that with it, then you can't afford to gamble with it" (this was after I'd been asking him how he picked his horses as he liked a flutter)

From my Dad 40 years ago : "I'm divorcing your mother and running off with another woman".

From my Dad earlier in the year : "I think I made a mistake. I am also dying and have 3 months left."

Me : "Bye then".

Lesson ? When you divorce you partner, you also divorce your children. They may never forgive you.

Not from my parents but from someone I look up to: ‘pick your battles.’

He’d then go on to talk about Sun Tzu and The Art of War. I’ve certainly passed the same things on to my team in a professional sense and I apply it in my personal life too.
