NOW that you have children do you feel like You're acting like your MOTHER?

My 2 sons are now 19 and 22 and yes I did find after I had them that I acted like my mother. I found the things she used to say to me as a child I would say to mine. The awful thing is usually you vow to yourself that when you have children you will never treat them like your mother treated you - and then you do. Also you do develop a new respect for your own mother as you have a better understanding of what she went through. My mum had 5 children and I only 2 and I think my word we must have driven her mad. I don't know how to break it to you but think back to when you were a teenager and the rows you had then - you have it all to look forward to with your own children - but with you as the bad guy who doesn't understand.

I have 3 children. All of them a handful lol. I find that every now and then I talk like my mother or father when I'm talking to my children and teaching them something. Even my wife has noticed and kids me from time to time.

NO lol my sons are 44 , 41 and 26 and now I am a Nanny I feel like I am my mother , but as you say its not a bad thing , My mother is 88 and a wonderful person and my best friend , but yes I agree we do become like our mothers , I seem to be saying that more and more as time goes on , By the way I am in Scotland too , Stirling xx

Yah, i do feel like i'm acting like my mother..it's hard to be a mother, in fact, i'm a single mom but i can manage. When i was a child, i'm not bad or naughty, i'm a behave one very behave..My daughter this time, very active and very naughty..Sometimes, i want to spank her because she's crying but without reason to cry. And after bath, she wants to run around without clothes coz she wanted me to catch her, and i feel so tired but it's fun sometimes..lol I cant imagine my self that i'm already a mother, that i have this cute daughter who makes my day happy and makes my life complete..

It is hard for me to explain. I act like her more in other areas of my life since my son was born, but when it comes to dealing with him I am not like her at all. I am very, very loving and nurturing to him. I enjoy being very hands on, being down on the floor playing and coloring right along with him. I never felt very nurtured from my mom unless I was sick. I also feel that I can relate to him and how he is feeling about something, whereas my mother never seemed to try..... probably because I was the last of four kids and she just didn't have the time.
