People say that as you get older you turn into your parents and I am beginning to fear the worst.
I was recently looking at some family photographs and I realised how much like my father I now look. I find that I say the same things he said in the same situations, my sister says I react like him as well.
Is it envitable that we all turn into our parents?

Turning into your parents
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yes, we will, unless we fight it tooth and nail, determined never to say/do the same things as them. I've heard myself saying 'You'll have your eye out with that', I carry wet wipes in my bag to clean tables when I'm in a cheap restaurant, I've started asking people to give me two rings when they get home! I am my mother!!! :cry:
I think I need to play more on here, I need to never have a curly perm, and I need to pray that Clarins face cream works, otherwise I will be her in a matter of months!! :shock:
(Thinking about it, I'm kinda hoping my parents didn't swing!!! lol)
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Found myself buying 'comfortable' shoes now :shock:
I turned into my mother one day a few years ago. It was a little traumatic actually. Before that I didn't look like either of my parents, I was convinced I was adopted.
My mum used to have what was termed a 'lantern' jaw. That's where the jaw is set too far forwards, my mum had a particularly bad case but had been too scared to do anything about it. It affected the way she ate, the way she looked, spoke and felt. Thankfully I don't have the same condition.
When I was 19 she eventually she decided to have the operation where they break then reset the jaw in the position it should be in. :shock:
After her operation I walked into the hospital ward and went to her bed and although she was bruised and had some swelling you couldn't help but notice how much we now looked alike. It totally knocked me for six and I actually burst into tears. I finally looked like a family member. :lol:
Perhaps not what you mean by 'turning into your parents' but true all the same.

People sometimes think me and my mother are sisters - I'm 30's, she's 60's - and it's happened several times so it's not someone having a laugh :shock:
Do I look old or does my mother looks young
Anyone who's met me please tell me honestly...do I really look that old? :twisted:
If they do, give me that bluddy gun!

Is your mother local?
there's a theory that says we 'swallow our parents whole' (Not THAT kind of swallow - heaven forbid!!!! - that's a different thread altogether!!!!) which means we play out how our parents behave, what they say, how they are. it's as if we have a tape inside our head playing out what they say and do. once we become aware of this we have a choice in the way behave and then can change the way we interact with other.
it's incredibly scary to think that we might turn into our parents. i am making a conscious choice to be very different from my mothe. this has only happened recently when i realised that i was too much the same and needed to be different. i even wore my hair in a very similar way,
horny once gave my mother a hug cos he thought it was me - imagine that. luckily that was as far as it went,

I having started this thread I'm so glad I'm not the only one. 
However, I'm not to worried in turning out like my dad as he was a kind, caring popular man. The thing the I find mildly disturbing is that sometimes I feel like I'm possessed and the things I say and do come from somewhere else....him :shock: No not in a creepy way but ...well yes I am turning into him.

I am, thank God, nothing like my mother 
I love her, but she is the total opposite to me in every way. She is obsessed with material things, is more impressed by what people earn and what they do than the kind of person they are. She earns very good money, as does my step-father, but she has to rub peoples noses in it how much they earn and how much they pay for things. They don't keep up with the Jones's..they ARE the Jones's :D
I thought she was going to have a fit the first time she came to visit and found the bike ensconced in what was my dining room and is now my garage :lol: :lol:
I am far more laid-back. There is more to life than housework, more to life than big money, and more to life than worrying about impressing others. As long as I have food on the table, a book to read, and roads to ride I'm happy.

have the same thing with my mother people often think we are sisiters and if she is out with my son they think he is hers lots of shocked faces when she explained its her granchild
As a kid, I recall always noticing a hhabit my dad had when driving, of tapping his wedding ring on the steering wheel in time to music. I remember how it sounded and how his hands looked atthe time. To my horror, while married I fopund myself doing the same bloody thing. Making it worse was that II realised the backs of my hands looked like his too :shock:
I got divorced for other reasons by the way. It never occured to me to use this as one of the reasons to divorce her!
I have since spotted other mannerisms that I have picked up from both. It genuinely worries me the number of them that there now are.... particularly as they are both round the twist!
It's all little things, nothing major, but that somehow makes it worse! :lol:
