There are things my mom does that I absolutely hate! If I get older and start turning into her... just shoot me!
Just shoot me if I drink milk out of the carton.
Just shoot me if I say, "I've done everything, and if I haven't your father has... so don't try anything."
Just shoot me when I start acting crazy.
Just shoot me if I become excessively passive aggressive.
Just shoot me if I have children that hates me.
Just shoot me if I brag about a pie everyone thinks I made, but it is store bought.
Just shoot me if I every eat two king sized kit-kats a day.
Just shoot me if I let a dog lick my face.
Just shoot me if I use a certain demeaning tone of voice to my kids.
Just shoot me if I turn into my mother.
On the other hand, there are things about my mother that will be useful for me later on, and if I do these things then give three cheers for good parenting.
Give three cheers if I have mother daughter dates to buy shoes.
Three cheers if I almost always make homemade dinner.
Three cheers if my kids know they are loved unconditionally.
Three cheers if the house is not always clean and tidy.
Three cheers if I know how to help my daughter with a broken heart.
Three cheers if I can support my family without a deadbeat man.
Three cheers if my kids are independent.
Three cheers if I turn into my mother.
So glad you put in the three cheers, I too have a mother that scares me but she is 82 and I think she is wonderful. I am lucky to still get to buy shoes with her even though she looks at orthotics the way the rest of us look at red Jimmy Choo's
