Top Ten Comebacks for your Parents

by 11 Comments

Funny comebacks when your parents give you a hard time

Parents can drive you crazy no matter how old you are! Whether you are 16 or 46 nobody likes to be lectured, nagged or told what to do.

In the age of the helicopter parent, it may seem like your folks may be hovering around with an excessive interest in your life.

Sometimes it seems like you can’t win with your parents no matter what you do. They complain about what you don’t do, and then when you do it, they complain about the way you did it.

Of course, your parents love and worry about you, which is why they display these annoying behaviours.

Next time your mom or dad giving you a lecture or a hard time try some of these funny comebacks. Say them in a joking way so you don’t get yourself into too much trouble!

Top Ten Comebacks for your Parents

  1. You call it talking back. I call it explaining.
  2. I’m a liar? You were the one who told me about the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny and Santa! –
  3. You say I’m lazy, I’m just on energy-saving mode.
  4. Getting in an argument with you is like getting arrested. Everything I say, can and will be used against me.
  5. Remember when I asked for your opinion. Me neither!
  6. My room isn’t dirty, I just have everything on display.
  7. I know money doesn’t grow on trees. That’s why I’m asking you.
  8. I don’t have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem.
  9. You’re one of  my favorite parents.
  10. Those who criticize our generation forget who raised it.

    You know, probably the majority of people looking on this page are probably kids. And a lot of kids believe in the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny and Santa. ?

      Oh well. It is a public website is it not? If they have the wits to make comebacks to their parents, they shouldn’t get hurt over “oh no! The Easter bunny is not real?!?” (No dip). It’s just the way it is I guess.

        All of you complainong about Chuck ruining it for the kids, know that you will eventually have to face reality whether you like it or not. Jesus people, can a person not comment in peace? It was already mentioned in the comebacks that they weren’t real anyways.

      Yep your right, I’m only 8 and I believe in all that stuff. I know it’s not real but its nice to believe that your parents don’t put coal in a box on Christmas day.

    Is anyone else’s family and parents always like, “What’s wrong with this generations it’s all about the electronics.” Ok first you give me an electronic Im going to put it to good use. Second you raised me. Maybe we are like this because of who we are raised by. Its not whats wrong with our generation (its who raised us)
