New study finds that by the time people reach 26 they do realise that their mum was right

In fact the study doesn't cover issue like gender identity and women's sex based rights.

But if it turns out mothers were right about other things, then surely people must start to think they were probably right that you cant change sex.

Happy Mother's Day for anyone who celebrated their mother or who was celebrated for being a mother.

And hope those who find this day one that reminds them of loss hope you are doing okay.

Do you have a link for the study?

Sorry thought I had posted a link.

The study is by the Post Office and cant find anything directly from them.

But there is this write up in the Times www.thetimes.co.uk/article/mother-knows-best-children-finally-admit-when-they-turn-26-fkzqv6j7f

I think it took me a little but longer than that. But, yeah, she was right.

And I’m turning into her now! (I hope she is still right)!

I can’t read the article, but I’m 50 and, despite being very fond of my mum, don’t think she was right about anything and have spent my life taking a path carefully calculated to engineer a very different kind of life.

It took me much much longer. Not so much the sort of domestic task list the article shows, but in other ways, about people.

And in fact men. I just thought she was being over protective. :'(

I can’t read the article, sorry about that. I am not actually a paid subscriber but have created an account which seems to sometimes let me see Times articles.

In the meantime here are two other write ones. One is the DM which I know some dont like going to

Sadly it took way past 26 for me to realise my Mum was wrong about a whole bunch of stuff.
