a4a Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 My oh my I see one or two of my parents traits in me. Don't they say you become just like your parents as you age? How much are you turning into your parent or are you starting to show signs of being like them at all?
melodymatters Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 YES !!! Good topic ! personality wise I am getting more and more like my father. Worse, I woke up the other day, my skin was dry from the cold snap, i had forgotten to take of my eye make up, I glimpsed myself in the mirror, and it WAS MY MOTHER !!! She said the same thing happened to her a few years back. She's an adorable woman for being in her 60's, but it is making me consider starting my " face lift" fund !!!
Touche Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I see my mother in me and it's NOT pretty! Why couldn't I have gotten any of her good traits? Wait...does she have any? :laugh: I'm kidding, I'm kidding...but yeah...I have lots of her bad ones. And for those of you who have children wow..isn't it amazing how you can hear yourself sounding JUST like your parents? Something you said you'd NEVER do or say and then WHAMMO you're doing it/saying it too? It just comes out of nowhere. It's scary I tell you.

How much are you turning into your parent or are you starting to show signs of being like them at all? I have gained some of my mom's traits in terms of becoming more responsible. But in terms of behavior, heck no! I don't have any of the traits that my dad possess, at least none that I can see.

Pyro Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Because you're still too young, Rid. Just wait a dozen or so more years. You'll see. My guess would be if I develop any of the traits, it would be if/when I have kids.

Well keep wearing the costumes...... your kids will love it when you go to drive them around as pre- teens and their friends come over for visits and you are bouncing from sofa to sofa in a super hero fashion..... "Dad, you're so embarassing"

"Dad, you're so embarassing" I was a little skeptic about whether or not it is acceptable to jump around the furniture with whitey tighties on over a pair of spandex and a towel tied around my neck.
IpAncA Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I'm becoming more like my father. We think so much alike and I never thought that I would be like him. Not thats bad or anything but I never did think that I would be like my parents but its true, you do. You may not be like them exactly but you are somewhat. I just learn from their mistakes and try not to make the same ones. I think I'm doing good so far..I hope.
laRubiaBonita Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 i, as well as both my sisters, have definately picked up some good traits and not so good personality traits, like our parents. luckily we call each other on it all the time!
JadeStar Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Good grief, YES! I'll catch myself every now and then acting like my mother! Not that shes not a great person, but she has her issues just as everyone does. I'll stop and think, "Now Jade, you are acting like your mother, is that what you want?" Or I'll think, "Crap that sounds like something my mother would say. Jade

littlekitty Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I say things all the time and then think 'God, I sound like my mother...'!! It's pretty scary. Not because I don't want to be like her, because she's my hero, but just because I realise I'm getting old!!! As for my Dad. I just inherited most of his bad traits I think.
JadeStar Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Do you smack the hell out of yourself when you start sounding like your mother? Nope, but now that you mention it, thats not a bad idea!
Author a4a Posted November 29, 2006 Author Posted November 29, 2006 Nope, but now that you mention it, thats not a bad idea! It works!! :lmao: But try not to do it in public too much, people think you are nuts!
JadeStar Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 It works!! :lmao: But try not to do it in public too much, people think you are nuts! I could just bang my head against the wall, or throw sh*t like my dad did when he was tired of hearing her mess. Bless him ,no wonder he is on meds. Jade
Sassy Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Yes and I don't have a problem with it. I am honored to be just like my mom! She is a great women and love the fact that I am just like her. I hope when i am her age I grow as gracefully as her as well . She is 66 and looks like she is in her 40's.
