We all will eventually become our parents. That's life.
As long as it's not bad, I'm fine. I've seen kids becoming abusive parents and blame it on their parents who were abusive. You control your own life, not your parents.
I have noticed that I behave like my mother more and more everyday-- with the lip movements (You have to see my mother and me to understand what lip movements we do when we are bored.. lol) and how we will get mad in the same way-- by glaring at somebody.
All of my life, I TRIED to not be like my mother because she could become so somber and so "Finnish-y" which I don't want to convey but... I am doomed. I am already "Finnish-y".
LOLOL...my husband has strict orders to SHOOT me if I ever turn out to be like my mother. She has her finer points, but she's also manipulative and VERY set in her ways...but she does know that by now she needs to choose her battles VERY carefully.
