Growing up I got all the usual ones that have already been mentioned: Do unto others, If everybody else jumped off a bridge..., clean underwear, eat your veggies, etc, etc.
But when I was pregnant with my first baby, Fairy-Bird, I was given this advice by a mother of 4 teenagers and it was the best baby/child rearing advice I ever got. I give her credit for the close, open relationship I have with both my daughters. She said: Talk WITH your children, not at them, listen to everything they say and be involved in thier lives, know what they like and no matter what stupid thing they say or do, love them always, unconditionally and with all your heart.

Lixy, I was given similar advice on dealing with a bully. My cousin told me to stand my ground instead of running, and hit the guy in the face as hard as I could, then he'll be stunned and I can wallop him. It worked. I am not a violent person, but hey, a kid can only suffer at the hands of an older brother for so long.

Yeah, I'm not too religious but the 'do onto others as they do onto you' has always held firm with me.
Guess I better credit that one to God.

Ok this was one of the essay questions on my teacher certification test. Talk about an annoying question, especially in as an essay.

This will sound stupid to many!I have alot of them but my father,
told me,when I started racing motorcycles.No matter,how good you get,never think that you're the Boss! Always,respect your
motorcycle!When you think that you're the boss,it will either kill
you or hurt you real bad! When you think about it,most accidents,
are caused,by not paying attention,because you're so familiar,
with doing the same thing,over & over! Irish
P.S. It may sound Macho,but when it's you're turn,it's you're turn!
I've seen people killed at 25MPH, & I have gone off at over 100MPH!It just wasn't my turn!
