That defining moment in a mothers life...

When you open you mouth to yell at your kid and suddenly realize... you're turning into your mother!

You know, that 1 thing your Mom always said that made yours eyes roll and you swore you would never say to your kids. Things like

"As long as you're living under my roof..."
"If everyone jumped off a bridge would you want to do that too..."
"Because I said So..."

What was yours?

I said them all.

Being a mother has had me eating my words over and over, apologising like crazy to my own mom.

But I will say that I have learned from a lot of her mistakes and though she doesn't like to hear she made mistakes she appreciates that her mistakes weren't for nothing.

My mom and I don't always get along or see eye to eye but I know that I make her proud and don't embarrass her.

I am the daughter that helps her to calm down, laugh at stuff, and encourages her when she is having a bad day.

I am sure I sound alot like my mom
they only thing that I refuse to do ilike her is make excuses , I own my mistakes, I can't stand excuses and so if I did it I say it.
Blaming it on PMS ,bad day or anything is just and excuse,

The bottom line is I did it then I own it and say I'm sorry and that is all one should say.

I came to the realization one day, that I too was sounding like my mom. My brother laughed at me.

My youngest sister called me one day crying. When I asked her what was wrong she told me that while she was arguing with her teenage son.."I opened my mouth and Mom came out!" I cracked up!
