Signs That You Are Turning Into Your Parents!
Some are ok with it, some are not!
A quirky poll of 2,000 adults found half believe they are morphing into their own mom or dad. And on average, this transformation happens at precisely 32-and-a-half years of age.
Other signs one is turning into the person that raised them include the realization you now dress for comfort instead of style and relying on your kids for tech support.
The study also found just under a quarter of adults polled find themselves using the same phrases as their parents, including ‘You’re not going out dressed like that!’ But women are slightly more likely to report transforming into their parent than men.
And 84 per cent believe it was only after having kids of their own, they realized how much their behaviour had started to mirror their own mum or dad.
Of those who believe they are going down that path, nearly two thirds don’t mind this destiny.
But 42 per cent have actively tried not to become their parent, even if, for 79 per cent, it is eventually inevitable.
