The one that bugged me most as a kid was when my mom would say "because I said so". What does that mean? I found that to be the most frustrating, unproductive phrase used in my youth. Funny thing is I have found myself saying that to my kids only to retract the statement and insert a more logical response like "because we have plans" which we do; or "because you had that yesterday", which they did.
I have also heard in my life, "stop your crying or I'll give you something to cry about", "don't make a mountain out of a mole hill", and "you can't have your cake and eat it too". I do believe that at on time or another I have also said these things to my kids. I look forward to the day when I will hear these fallacies or others like them when my kids are parents.
