Do you ever find yourself

Do you ever find yourself saying something to your kids and thinking omg I sound just like my parents confused

: . For example I said last night I was making chicken salad for tea but my little girl decided she wanted pasta so I found myself saying to her you "will have the same as everyone else im not making 2 different meals" then thinking omg I sound like my mum she used to say that to me all the time.

I don't have children, but I sometimes say or do a certain thing and think "Sh*t I'm turning into my Dad!" confused

I am my father :shock:
Everyday I am turning into him its like I'm possessed. Everything I say, everything I do, the way I look, they get more and more like him.
The only good thing is that he was a popular man with many friends so there is some hope for me biggrin

I do it all the time ...
Do as I say, not as I do
Don't come crying to me when you've broken your legs
I'll give you something to cry about
I've got eyes at the back of my head
and the really boring stuff .....
I don't fancy going out - it's raining
Why can't i take a coat?
I'm not wearing these shoes, they're too high
I can't hear myself think over this music
That's not music, it's just noise
Skirt? It's nothing more than a belt.
Can't wait to get home and have a cuppa
i think i've shamed myself enough. I'll leave it at that.

You don't dance like him too I hope rotflmao

I've picked up a lot of what are known in my family as 'Dadisms' One of the best is, when asked for something new ( and usually expensive :? ) Dad would reply 'you write down all you want, I'll cross off all you can do without'
I use that one a lot :?

Strong Lyrics by Robbie williams
My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me Dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
Early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the make up
And that's a good line to take it to
The bridge

Slightly off on a tangent..
My mother has an uncanny knack of knowing what I am going to say, I know this because I watch her mouth silently moving the same words as if she were saying them!
It's a bit scary but we very often say the same things at the same time when in conversation with others-maybe not too unusual-but we tend to come out with the same random/off the wall responses :shock: Or, struggling over a crossword clue, we will both shout the answer out at the same time :confused:
One saying that she had that I haven't had to use yet is, " Don't trust any man love, stay with your mother" lol

I wonder if it's nature (genes) or nurture (environment) because for most of my young life I 'lived' with my nan as both parents worked long hours, but as a teenager I lived at my parents' home and spent a lot more time with them aged 13-16 than I did in my first 12 years dunno

i can cope with sounding like me mam.
it's the looking like her i have a problem with. confused

oh . . . and the thinking . . . 'i do actually agree with everything you just said? how did that happen?' dunno

:?
neil x x x ;)

The way I see it when that happens (and it so does happen) - 'Blimey, my dad was right on this one!'

My dad is and always was fundamentally good man. And to think as optimistically about people and things as he does would be a joy. He has his flaws a lot of them, but his heart is good. Though we dont get along at all face to face, god i've so tried not to love him but i've always failed and i do.
I realise that some of my mannerisms are not unlike him and there are a few physical similarities probably. I however think that the older i get the more i see his differences and also my own. Whether this is because we see so little of each other or what, i dont know. All i do know is that day by day we also grow further and further apart and that is sad.
