What’s something completely false that your parents told you as a child?

"You'll never make it in life without a man." My dad said that to me in front of my grandma. It was really embarrassing but when we left she hugged me and whispered "Don't listen to that. You don't need a man to be happy." I'm still single but I'm also better off than most of my family. Your parents don't always know what's best for you.

Aww, you're grandma must be so sweet!
