"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Funny that, Moms must be fairly universal - thats the stuff we got when we were nippers in Ireland.

One extra thing, my Mom had three ways of answering a request from us for something, that while not being an outright refusal, generally meant it was never going to happen.

They were "We'll see" , "Soon" and  "Maybe". Those words were the kiss of death on any of our shenanigans.

My mom was a treasure RIP Mom 1927 - 2004.
