What traits have your DC inherited from you that gives you new respect for your own parents?

DS1 3yo talks constantly. He repeats announcements individually to each person present until they acknowledge it.

TRAIN ANNOUNCER: the next station is Kew Gardens
DS: nana, the next station is Kew gardens
Nana: yes DS
DS: mummy the next station is Kew gardens
Me: mmmm
DS: MUMMY! the next station is Kew gardens!!!
Me: yes!
Me to my mum: god that's getting a bit annoying
Nana: yes you were exactly the same for years

So a huge apology to my parents for repeating myself over and over. It looks like I'm finally getting the punishment I deserved!

Bump?

DD1 (7) is an almost insufferable know it all and has a comment for everything.

Aparently she's just like me

[BellaBearisWideAwake]

I think I may have that to look forward to!

been a mini fashionista -

she started arguing about what she was wearing at 16 months & its gone on from there - I did quickly learn that best bet was to teach her what was weather & and occasion appropriate, but it STILL doesn't always stop the "Clothes Wars" - she's now 8 & some of the outfits she will pull together can be verging on mini streetwalker scary - & then the tears & tantrums begin

apparently I was even worse - it did end up being my trade profession though, so will be interesting to see where she end up

- just re read that - I meant I worked FASHION - NOT streetwalking

All of them

We are so similar it's actually quite alarming. My mother finds this hilarious. I do not.

Being a fussy eater.

Being a know-it-all and refusing to take advice, even when it's in my own best interests...

It is very humbling now to dread the thought of my own dc being like this and NOT listening to all the sage advice their mum has to pass on, from the experience she has gathered over the past 40 years or so...gulp.

I have even contemplated apologising to my parents now in retrospect. Will than undo the karma??!
