If you grew up with an Irish Mammy, you didn’t need life coaches, personal trainers, or therapists…..this woman was all three rolled into one (whether you wanted it or not). Her wisdom? Unmatched. Her sarcasm? Lethal. Her one-liners? Legendary.

Here are 20 more gems from the mouth of Ireland’s finest:

1-10

11. “Stop swinging on that chair….you’ll go over and crack your head open!”
Said at least once a week. Still swung on it.

12. “While you’re living under my roof…”
The rent-free price tag of living at home.

13. “It’s not what you said, it’s the way you said it.”
Your tone was the crime.

14. “If all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?”
Hard to argue when she’s already won the debate.

15. “Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
But the guilt sure does.

16. “Go ask your father.”
She’s not saying yes or no…. she’s outsourcing the drama.

17. “There’ll be war in this house if you don’t cop on!”
And she meant civil war.

18. “Did you think I wouldn’t find out?”
She always did. Even pre-Internet.

19. “That’ll learn ya.”
No grammar needed. The message was clear.

20. “God give me strength.”
Usually muttered to the ceiling while you were just… existing.

A Word to the Mammies……

To the women who raised us with a deadly stare, a steady hand, and a
heart of absolute gold…..we salute you. You taught us how to laugh at ourselves, respect our elders, and never touch the good biscuits. Happy Mother’s Day, ya legends.
