As a joke, great but IRL I don't agree on many parts. "If you don't stop crossing your eyes they are going to freeze that way"...why tell such things to kids. And what's wrong with crossing eyes anyway.
"You'll sit there until all that spinach is gone." Not good...you have to taste everything but this is wrong (not my own idea even). My dad use to do the same, I would sit there forever and cry.
Many of those I don't like but won't explain anymore.
And the last one (25) WHO on earth does say this to their kids it seems to indicate that the kids were monsters. No wonder they say kids are screwed up these days if you ruin their self esteem like that.
NO ONE is a perfect parent but please some limit. I'm glad my mom didn't talk to me like that and I for sure won't do this to my own kids. They are humans and even though they need discipline the above is not that.

My dad taught me if that if I played with my belly button my ass would fall off.
I can see this is only humour which is why I didn't reply but number 13 and 25 seemed a little ill!
