This post made me laugh, my mom was the same way and I do believe my kids heard me sound just like my mother.

I make my kids answer me with, “Yes, mom,” just like I had to do as a kid. The silly thing is that it truly works. Once they say, “yes, mom,” it is as if they are physically bound to follow through and obey.

i bet your mom is grinning. That’s when they get all their revenge, when things like this happen. We do the same things with MPP. Ekgads…….i never even thought about them having blogs where they complain about us in 25 years. oh my.

I’m the oldest child, and I hated when my parents told me to “set a good example” for my younger siblings because they were watching me.

Guess what I say all the time to our oldest child? I hate it, but it’s true. The little ones are watching her.

It’s amazing how, as kids growing up, you think your parents are a little bit off center and all of the sudden, you’re the grown up doing the same thing they did. I’m laughing because it happens with every generation. – What – you don’t think we thought the same thing about Oma ? LOL

All my mom had to do was give me the look and I knew right away what to do, no words were needed. I don’t quite have that technique mastered as a Mom but I am lucky to say that I have an easy going kid (thank you God), teen-ager now, that I have not needed it much. My husband says I am my mother, he loves my mom, so I take that in a good way.

Instead of acting like I don’t understand my kids, I simply say, “That’s not how we ask for things” or “that’s not how we say that” – and eerily, that is exactly what my mom used to say, too.

hee, hee. it’s so funny (and scary) how we often find ourselves doing those mom tricks we swore we’d never do.
