In honor of Mother’s Day, I asked our readers “What is the best advice your mom ever gave you?” and here’s what they had to say….

  • “Never quit a job, until you have another one.”
  • “There is nobody better than you, but you are no better than anyone else.”
  • “Money-wise, take care of the “four walls” first. Roof over your head, food, electricity, etc. Then other bills.”
  • “Say what you mean, mean what you say, and the do what you said you would do!”
  • “Make sure you always have clean undies on!”
  • “Be kind to everyone because you don’t know what they are going through & it is possible they are in desperate need of kindness.”
  • “Take difficult days one second at a time. Pray to get through five minutes, then another five, then another. Let God take control and always try to live by the convictions He has put in place.”
  • “Trust in the lord throughout everything.”
  • “Never yell unless there is a fire.”
  • “Treat a woman like you would treat me.” (A mother to her son)
  • “Don’t spend your time wishing you were older and miss today.”
  • “Be true your word, mean what you say and think before you speak.”
  • “There’s nothing to it but to do it.”
  • “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.”
  • “If there’s nothing that you personally can’t change, then it’s not worth worrying about.”
  • “Don’t just find someone you love. Find someone who loves you back.”
  • “Let love shine in everything you do”
  • “Don’t marry someone you can live with, marry someone you don’t want to live without.”
  • Don’t accept any drinks from your friends while at a party, go with them and serve yourself.  You have no idea the things that can be poured into a drink.
  • “Remember who you are.”
  • “Marry a man who respects his mother and he will respect u too.”
  • “Go to God with everything!”

Last but not least…we’ll send you off with some humorous advice :

  1. Nobody should attempt to sing a Whitney Huston song, because you just can t compare
  2. Nobody looks good in spandex, it shows every flaw
  3. Don’t ever let someone tell you there is no such thing as a “stupid” question….. Because there is!
