Help! I’m turning into my mother (😂😂)

We all become our Mothers in the end 😄

Yes, I am, but I can’t see my daughter ever being like me!

Yes, yes, yes! When I look in the mirror after my shower when I’ve washed my hair. And quite often when open my mouth my mother speaks! Phrases I haven’t heard for decades!

My Daughter says every time she complains about her typical teen daughter she hears me coming out of her mouth !

Recently I have realised that my right hand is exactly like my mother's - including the slight bend in the thumb. Prior to this if anyone had asked me to describe her hands I wouldn't have been able to - but I glanced at mine one day and the similarity hit me.

No, I am not becoming my mother, but I am very aware of the similarities between me and DD.

No I m much more like my Dad on fb they had one of these daft things ‘what would you look like as a man’ and my kids said blimey thought that was grandad (I will add he was very good looking and never looked his age🙃)

Oh hell no! The moment I thought that was the case would be the moment I checked out of here...

Yes, I'm getting like my mum, and my daughter used to worry she was getting like me.

Yes, I find myself thinking that my Mum and my Nan would of done/said similar things as myself. None of us suffer fools, and all speak/spoke our minds.

Not my mother, but sometimes I glance in the mirror and I’m shocked to see my sister reflected. She’s 10 years older and we are poles apart in every way, I find it quite unsettling.

My daughter always said she would not say the things to her children that I said to her. Then...... " I heard your words coming out of my mouth Mother"

I looked at my granddaughter the other day and saw my mother!

I think I look like my late DM in some ways and have some of her mannerisms, but DD2 is a younger version of her face wise - quite stunning! However, when we’re out people say she and I look very alike.

Marydoll, that must be odd and comforting in equal measure.

My daughter has said exactly the same! 😂

I have some of my mum's expressions and a lot of my grandmother's , too .
I don't really look like either of them .
I certainly am becoming less tolerant .
I hope that I don't turn into a grouch !

My son said exactly the same thing. It was uncanny, especially as he and my mother had a very special bond and my granddaughter was named after her. 😢

I have always looked like my mother. People have commented as long as I can remember, “Ooh, isn’t she like her mother!”

My mother was lovely, kind and generous. I am quite happy to be like her and now I’m getting older I find it comforting to see her looking back at me from the mirror each morning.

Same here Blossoming ❤️👊

I looked in the mirror recently and definitely saw my maternal grandmother, especially the sunken cheeks 😳

My hands are just like my mother's. Especially if I'm wearing one of her rings or using her seeing machine. Wrinkles, veins and freckles included! It makes me feel she's always with me.

When I look in the mirror I see my daughter. I said this to her the other day. I think she was horrified!

My mother, myself and my daughter all pout when looking in the mirror to see new clothes.

❤️💔
Ahh lovely thread…recently lost my dear Mum.
Hoping to turn into her XXX
