Am I turning into my Dad?

I think you are just realizing your dad was right when he said those things to you. So now you are passing on the wisdom to another generation that won't listen until they get your age.

Happens to everyone. Not turning into YOUR Dad specifically lol, their own parents! You just get a different perspective on life as you get older. I wish all I had to care about was what time Inspector Gadget came on the telly, doing homework and turning up on time for horse riding lessons again like when I was 10! Now its Gas bills, electric bill, council tax Mortgage blah blah blah...... You know you'rein trouble when you say to one of them, "That's MY chair. Out" and you make that hand gesture.... You KNOW the one. ;-)

Its an evolutionary version to be certain our progeny is mated with the appropriate achieveable suitor, and teens are not as severe whilst making a variety. The fathers reason is to place off impregnation until the youngster is developed mentally sufficient to make an recommended determination and particular choose a greater helpful genetic contributor.

Haha. Yeah what next you will be walking around in a dressing gown talking about the good old days before mobile phones?

Yes, you probably are. I don't think we realize how much we are like them until we are older. I am 40 years old now and I find myself doing alot of things like my mother and my father. This is why we all should hope we have a good childhood!

lol, that's funny because I think at one time or another most parents think that. I have said things plenty of times and stopped and thought omg, my Mom used to say that all the time. I think it is just us finally realizing that alot of what our parents said to us were true and said for a reason.

"close the back door"

"please turn of your bedroom lights"

Thank you.

Oh it happens to us all!

I sound like my Dad when driving...

' you can get a bus through there woman...'

' get of the road it's mine...'

etc

and I think its great! keeping up the family tradition!

you think thats bad? I looked out of the window at work today at the pouring rain and said out loud "Bugger, I've got my washing out in this".

maybe you are realising why your dad said what he said when he said it and maybe you are giving the kids a similar bringing up to yours without noticing
