Have you ever heard this by a parent, "I brought you into this world, and I can...

...take you out of it?" Just curious if anyone else has ever used or heard this saying coming from a parent to their child?

Yeah, its so stupid though isn't it

Well I dont think any parent would easily say that to their children but I have heard a parent saying " I wish I had not brought you in this world" I am not sure if both mean the same thing.

Yeah, it actually came off the Bill Cosby show. That was his line to one of the kids on the show. I think it was the guy the played his son that he said it to.

Yup, usually before I got my butt kicked.lol

Yes. And it angers me to no end.I usually respond with either: "Go ahead, I don't care" or "Not If I do it first"I mean, seriously. Are the parents really willing to deal with all the court costs/etc that come with killing someone, especially their child?

yes... most hollow threat a parent can make... it got a laugh every time

I've heard it B4. I say it to my little bro all the time when he doesn't listen to our mom. lol

yes, ashamed to admit it, once and that was the last time. My son looked at me and stopped in his tracks, " you would do that"? I was only kidding, but his incredulous tone made me realize , it wasn't funny!!!!
