Mom Says It Best: Don't Hurt Yourself By Helping Others

LAKEWOOD, WA — What better way to celebrate Mother's Day than by sharing some of the advice they've passed down to you?

Patch is asking our readers to share some of the best advice they've ever received from their moms in honor of Mother's Day 2021.

Lakewood's Kris Babbitt answered our call, sharing a very useful tip.

Babbitt's mother's advice is this:

"Don't put out a fire in someone else's house by starting one in your own!"

Come back to Across America Patch every day through Mother's Day — Sunday, May 9 — for more of these morsels of wisdom we can relate to and smile about as we think of our own moms.
