"Make a rod for (someone's) own back" có từ rod là gậy, roi -> cụm từ này chính là 'gậy ông đập lưng ông' đó các bạn.
Ví dụ
You can make a rod for your own back with pricy (đắt tiền) presents – if you’re going to spunk 100 sheets on Valentine’s then the expectations for birthday and Christmas will be through the roof.
If you make your overheads (chi phí hoạt động) too high, you will make a rod for your own back and you won’t last out there. Technology these days allows you to work in a much more cost effective way, even from home.
It is very useful to make a rod for your own back by creating a sleep crutch for your child. If your baby will only sleep in bed with you; let her (although, this is not advisable if you smoke, drink alcohol or sleep on a bed of nails etc.).
