W hosts confess to ignoring some of mom's sage advice.

"My mother always said, "Why bother putting things off when it can be done sooner?". She was right; I would have been less stressed growing up if I didn’t procrastinate!" — Hina Khan, Save Us From Our House

''I'm sure we've all heard it before but for me hearing it wasn't enough: ‘No more jumping on the bed!‘ You would think after 3 visits to the emergency ward, 12 stitches in my head, 7 above my eye and 5 in my foot, I would have listened to my dear mother and her thoughtful words of wisdom. But no, I continued to chip a headboard, rip 2 mattresses and smashed a ceiling light with my head. Thank goodness for Kucy Pon and scar concealer!'' — David Clemmer, Style By Jury

"'Stay out of the sun!' If I did not love the sun so much my skin would be much better - less blotchy with fewer fine lines. My mother has skin cancer which has really been a painful and non-appealing experience that she has had to go through for the last 40 years of her life." — Margie Doyle-White, Take This House and Sell It

''I grew up on Air Force bases with no stores so my mother made all our clothes. When I got old enough, I started doing the same. But I was an impatient kid who always took short cuts, and sewing disasters ensued. When I got married (for the first time!) my mother simply said, ‘Measure twice, cut once.‘ I didn't listen and sure enough, divorce followed. I paid attention the second time round. Thanks Mum!'' — Alison Griffiths, Maxed Out

"I can honestly say I never ignored any advice my Mom gave me. She always told me I have the world in the palm of my hands and to shoot for the stars (even when things looked pretty bleak). For that I will always be so grateful to her! I did, however, constantly ignore her requests to keep my room clean and forever more, I think I will be cursed with a messy bedroom." — Kimberly Carroll, Host of Take This House and Sell It

''My mom always tells me to this day: ‘Don't put your cart before your horse‘. I am always doing that, getting too excited or anxious about something and then worrying about an outcome over which I have no control. I often use it as a mantra in a stressful situation.'' — Tricia Braun, ''Lana'' from The Smart Woman's Survival Guide

''My mother always claims that I haven't followed ANY of her advice over the years, but that's definitely not true. Though I do have to admit that she has cautioned me against certain relationships, advice I have rarely listened to. And more often than not, she was right! But the most important thing she taught me was to never rely on anyone else to take care of me and to always take care of myself. Very wise words that I've tried to adhere to my whole adult life.'' — Kristina Matisic, Shopping Bags

"'Never spend the night with someone until you have considered the breakfast conversation' and 'If you clean a little every day - you'll never spend several days cleaning everything'." — Glen Peloso, Take This House and Sell It

''My mother once told me to watch out for boys who don't love their own moms, because it might mean they don't have the respect for women. I thought she was reading too much into the issue. Lo and behold, the two boys I dated who had a real hate on for their moms totally had issues with women and respect. Gotta love my mom for trying to protect me, but sometimes you have to figure these things out by living through them! So I pass this on to the rest of world - ladies make sure your man loves his mom!'' — Siobhan Giles-Murphy, ''Liz'' from The Smart Woman's Survival Guide

''I always do what my Mum tells me, I'm a good girl! But I do remember when I was young, my Mum used to say to me ‘don't ever sleep with your socks on‘. As a child, I of course did as she asked, but never questioned why. As I got older I thought that this was an old wives' tale, so I didn't take much notice. Until one day I went to bed with socks on cold feet. They were those trouser socks that came up to the knee. When I woke up the next day, I couldn't move my right leg, and it throbbed with pain. I couldn't understand it, until those words came back to me. The elastic in the top of the sock had cut off my circulation! Mother is always right.'' — Jackie Dennison, Rescue Mediums

''My mother told to buy my home as soon possible, instead of renting. I felt that owning something would tie me down to a mortgage, and prevent me from being free to travel. By the time I bought a condo-loft, I could almost have paid my home in cash with all the rent I had spent over the years!'' — Korby Banner, Style By Jury

"She always said that 'It is just as easy to fall in love with someone rich as it is to fall in love with someone poor - you pick!'. My mother was a very smart lady, I followed her advice 99.9% of the time - no matter how much I didn't like it." — Glenn Dixon, Take This House and Sell It

''The biggest vice is advice. So I take everyone's advice (my mom's included) with a grain of salt. Women's intuition and gut instinct, baby. It never fails!'' — Joanne Alderson, ''Brooke'' from The Smart Woman's Survival Guide

''My mother said ‘Keep your hand on your half penny - or never get married‘. I wish I had listened.'' — Christine Hamlett, Rescue Mediums (Note: ''Keep your hand on your halfpenny'' is a British saying that means ''look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves'').

"Fortunately I have a fabulous relationship with my Mother and always respected her knowledge. My Mother has always been an open book with me as I have with her. There have been no regrets with any advice that my Mother has passed along that I did not agree with and I consider myself very fortunate for that fact. Now if this was a Fathers Day question... I would have a few thoughts to add." — Evelyn Eshun, Take This House and Sell It
