12 Things Your Mom Was Right About

No matter how impossible it may have
seemed when you were a teenager, your
mom may have actually known what she
was talking about.
What might have seemed like nagging,
naïveté or plain ridiculousness to your
young ears probably contained nuggets
of incredible wisdom that you just
weren’t ready to recognize. Because how
would your mother know what it felt like
to be in the middle of teen drama, or
understand your specifically painful
heartbreak? Luckily, part of growing up
is coming to appreciate the advice your
parents have to offer, and recognizing
that, for the most part, getting older
truly does mean getting wiser.
Here are 12 things moms were right
about:
“The best form of revenge is to be the
better person.”
“Mean girls in middle school grow up to
be mean women.”
“You can’t control what happens, only
how you react.”
“You don’t have to be friends with
anyone that you don’t want to be.”
“Feeling sorry for someone is not loving
them.”
“You’d worry less about what people
think of you if you realized how little
they do.”
“Naps are awesome when you’re an
adult.”
‘You can’t change a person.”
“Time passes whether you attempt your
goals or not.”
“You won’t have to try hard to get the
right guy to notice you.”
“Don’t lose your mind over every little
thing.”
“You have to demand respect for
yourself. It’s rare that people just give
it to you.
