Re: do as i say not as i do Superior, and not in an affected way.
It is usually said in jest by someone of a higher rank, or higher position at work, or more importantly in all seriousness by a parent. But all the same, it is final, no arguments.
When a parent is trying to get a child to do something the child will often protest and say but you are always....The parent holds up the hand and says, I am your mother (sexist), do as I say not as I do... but what about...when you have your own children you can do it your way, thank you. End of conversation
Hope that helps. |
