No. I'm not a raving judgemental lunatic. My lovely, patient and inspirational dad...I'd be very happy to turn out like that.
Sorry Oscar, I will respectfully disagree.

Hi Kylie!

I strongly agree in the notion that as we become a mother, we become just like our mother.

I guess that's really what daughters would be like in the future, they become like their mothers.

Also, there's the point when you stare at your daughter and catch a sense of recognition and mutter something like "You just look like me when I was your age." I guess that's the evolution Darwin failed to tackle. Of how we evolve into someone like our parents.

I also remember back in elementary when we have our stage play. I was 10 years old that time and my mother recorded the whole play and presented it in the whole family during our family reunion. It's a quite a humiliation. Yet I also did the same to my son. Recorded his summer camp presentation and presented it during the Thanksgiving day. And it gave me the smile to realize I was just doing the same what my mother did.

Just popping in to wish you all a lovely Mother's Day.

I hope you've spoiled your own mums and been spoilt by your children (or father of your children!). I've had a lovely day with my mum, sisters, children and the men who have stepped up and done a sterling job of cooking, dishes, cleaning, and entertainment! biggrin.gif
