Amaranthus Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I find myself becoming more and more like mine. I cannot waste food and it bothers me when I see other people doing it. I've grown the same sick sense of humour. I find myself acting the same way towards my husband as I saw her being with my dad, for example I'll do and say things to purposely gross him out. There's plenty of other stuff as well... Has anyone else noticed this happening or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselbabe Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 No its not just you.Me and my 2nd eldest sister since we both have children we always say things to our kids that our mum use to say to us.Many a times when we say something we always say my god i am sounding like me mother. Im also laid back like my mum with my partner never stop him doing things he likes to do.Yet my 1st older sister is totally different with her child and partner quite strict so not sure who she gets that off. But also home stuff to i arrange things in cupboards like my mum does yet before i just use to throw them in.Many other little things that i hated mum doing when i was a kid yet i do them to.

Amaranthus Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Ha ha I do the sayings thing too, always saying things like "monkey see monkey do", and "get your monkey fingers off that". No racist. Think my mum just has a thing for monkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CXC3000 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 It's only natural sons and daughters turn out like their parents (if they're all raised the same, that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curriechick Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 According to the people closest to me I have a lot of my mother's mannerisms, and repeat a lot of her sayings. But even worse than that a couple of months ago I was in a shop and could have sworn I had just seen my mum (a bit impossible really as she died 3 years ago) I stepped back for another look and I had passed a mirror. It really surprised me as for most of my life people have said I look like my dad, but honestly I now look in the mirror and my mum is looking back!!

Becky B Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I think leaf tea tastes better than teabags. When I start thinking tea tastes better when drunk from china, I'll know the transformation is complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 It would be a little bit odd if we didn't turn into our parents or whoever had the upbringing of us, though, wouldn't it? Monkey see, monkey do, as shaz112's mother (and probably almost everyone else's) was wont to remark. What would be weird was if you didn't. But that's happening to me, my mother was lovely but I'm turning into Ena Sharples. Got the hairnet and everything. And I'm not even lying!
