What might have seemed like nagging, naïveté or plain ridiculousness to your young ears probably contained nuggets of incredible wisdom that you just weren’t ready to recognize. Because how would your mother know what it felt like to be in the middle of teen drama, or understand your specifically painful heartbreak? Luckily, part of growing up is coming to appreciate the advice your parents have to offer, and recognizing that, for the most part, getting older truly does mean getting wiser.
Here are 12 things moms were right about:
