What is the number 1 thing you inherited from your mother that your not proud of

So as we get older and become mothers some of us reflect our mothers in all ways , some ways or make it a point to be totally oppisite. There was ONE thing i didnt like about my mother growing up.. Her hollaring. LOL my mother didnt believe in spanks or hitting, and her punishments were a joke seriously she would ground us or take something away and then 20 minutes later she would be in our room apologizing for yelling and then give us a apecial treat as well as taking back our punishiment.. oh course as a child i loved it when i was punished then she came in and changed her mind, but now that i am a mother i cant stand the fact that she did that! I find myself doing the exact same thing! I will scream and hollar because no one listens or its the hundreth time i said not to do something or to go do something and again NO ONE listens, so i hollar, let it all out send my kids to their rooms then a little while later i feel so guilty that i most likely overreacted but was so frustrated that no other way worked that i would go and make up to them for hollaring and then disregard the intial punsihment and then talk in a nice sweet calm voice what i wanted them to do next time.. then next time rolls around and its the same thing all over again!! My mother was a screamer and so am i!!!!!! LOL What about you is there somehting that your mother did growing up that you swore you would never do but do it anyways? or soemthing she always did and it grew with you? i am very interested in hearing. thanks in advance
