Advice Mom Gave You That You Still Remember

Author Mike O'Brian
Mom giving her daughter some advice.

With Mother’s Day on the way, what is that piece of advice that mom gave your that you still remember? It came up this morning on The Mike & Carla Morning Show. Clearly we hit a nerved because a lot of listeners had a great memories.

Memories of advice they had been given that they still remember to this day. Listeners texting in, calling in with all sorts of advice from mom.

Now Mike O’Brian, who’s mother wasn’t really an “advice” giving type had one memory. She told him that he should give the ex-girlfriend a call to get back together again. Sorry, just wasn’t going to happen!

That Advice Mom Gave You That Your Still Remember

On the other hand, Carla Rea gave an example and helped Carla throughout her life. Make her own decisions. No matter what it is, the decisions made were hers and she would have to live with them. Something that Carla says to this day she remembers.

We all have those pieces of wisdom from mom. However, the best was from a woman who gave us what her mother told her. Before you name your kid, go outside and scream the name at the top of your lungs…at least 3 or 4 times. Because that’s going to be your life!

Awesome advice and we’re sure there were a few mothers that did just that! All good stuff this morning. In fact, an article from Success talks about just that…the advice from your mom!

Safe to say both Mike & Carla have great memories of their mothers. Mike losing his when he was 21, but Carla enjoying her mom until just a few years ago.

And to those that have lost their mothers, our hearts go out to you. Just remember to celebrate your mom whether she is with us or not! Happy Mother’s Day from all of us!

6 Classic Rock Songs for Mother's Day

If your mother rocks, you’ll want to check out these six classic rock songs in honor of Mother’s Day!

  • Queen - 'Tie Your Mother Down'

    The studio version of “Tie Your Mother Down” is truly iconic, but if you’re looking to spice things up a bit, seek the version performed during the Freddie Mercury tribute concert featuring Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott on vocals and a blistering guitar solo from Slash.

  • The Rolling Stones - 'Mother’s Little Helper'

    Echoing the themes of “the problem that has no name” in Betty Friedan’s classic book The Feminine Mystique, “Mother’s Little Helper” is the cautionary tale of the daily struggle of medicated housewives of the 1960s who weren’t satisfied with their lives. It’s a song that 50+ years later that still resonates, because sometimes, what a drag it is being a mom and a wife.

  • Slade - 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now'

    You might be more familiar with the Quiet Riot version, but never forget that Slade are the originators and an essential influence in all things glam.

  • Aerosmith - 'Mama Kin'

    “Mama Kin” may not have been a hit out the gate, but its legacy sure has grown in the almost 50 years since its release. The song captures a certain romantism about chasing the rock and roll dream that could only really be written by someone who is young and hungry and yet to reach stardom. After listening to “Mama Kin,” you’d be hard-pressed not to get a bug up your ass and finally take a chance on something. It just has that kind of spark.

  • Three Dog Night - 'Mama Told Me Not To Come'

    Similar to “Tie Your Mother Down,” if you’re looking to spice things up, check out the rendition of “Mama Told Me Not to Come” from Tom Jones and U.K. rock band Stereophonics.

  • Lynyrd Skynyrd - 'Simple Man'

    There are so many incredible songs in the Skynyrd catalog, but this one just might be the sweetest.
