Becoming like your parents

i wear her bras sometimes

I was shocked to discover that my sweet, even-toned librarian mother is as hyper-cynical as I am.

hows that for psychoanalysis? so i guess you could say, i didn't learn man-hating in Womens Studies 101, dear Mr. Anonymous Poster from the heterosexuality thread. i learnt to hate men (this is one of MANY factors) because the men in my family are arseholes.

My mom is into her dogs to the point where I wonder if black poodles = her familiars. Marge Simpson + Marge from Fargo = my mom. She smokes like a chimney and swears like a trouper. But she's funny enough that she and Ally Madre would make a great double act. My dad was the world's first slacker and is totally irresponsible; I have the horrors about turning out like him.

the fatalism in this is kinda sad i think. even if you don't have any issues with yr parents.
one of life's ironies.

I'm nothing like either of my parents, other than that I'm usually nice to other people to a fault, like my dad.

how old are you?

25. I doubt I will become much more like either one of them in the future. For one, I have no plans on the horizon for writing an epic trilogy that takes place 1000 years in the future, with the protagonist wandering the Israeli landscape searching for the new Zion, each interaction somehow related to Bible prophecy, with hyperlinks in the text that link to the relevant passages. With no prior writing experience whatsoever.

Though, I suppose you never know.

...sounds like an intersting book!

i don't know about you, but becoming like my parents strikes me more and more as i grow older.
when i was 25, i thought the same as you, more or less. if you still think that way when youll be 30+, youll be in the minority,i think.

how is this THAT different from becoming one of the world's three best Marble Madness players

Yeah I really want to become a passive aggressive manipulative authoritarian cold bitch. Oh and my mum's pretty awful too.
Overshare?

it's not really TMI if it's boring

I've definitely refined my mother's tremendous guilt complex as I've gotten older. Worry, guilt, and a magnificent ability to unconciously act passive-aggresively at people when I really don't mean to. I've pulled mum up on it in recent years and she's been genuinely upset and swore she wasnt trying to do anything underhanded, and Ive realised I can be the same aaaargh.

Also my voice is very like hers now.

No I know, I meant is it overshare as in it was unreasonably ranting?
I'd like to become like my aunt, weird promiscuity/madonna whore complex aside because she's reeeeeaaaaaally stylish and has a great 'devil may care' attitude that is encouraging, she's not defeatist about her age. I don't want to become like either of my parents because they are not old enough to be as racist or as fundamentalist as they are but they have good music traits that I have inherited and a dry urbane wit that I'd like.

just wait until when you hit middle age and/or yr parents are gone. I'm even starting to look like my dad now.
