parental advice
Mom and dad's wisdom
Parental advice is guidance or counsel given by parents to their children, typically drawing on experience and concern for the child's wellbeing.
The phrase often appears in contexts where such advice is being recalled, ignored, or vindicated: I should have listened to my mother's parental advice about saving money.
It can carry undertones of wisdom earned through years of living, or of unwelcome interference, depending on the speaker's perspective.
