In what ways are you like your mother?

Well to start with she had tight curly hair and mine is dead straight!

And that probably sums it up Whatever my mother was like, physically and mentally I am the opposite. We had our battles, but she was a loving and caring mother, and I hope my children would say the same of me.

Nobody, not even those who knew both of us well, has ever said to me 'You are so like your mother' about anything

I'm nothing like my mother, she was a worrier whereas I'm as laid back as they come. I'm like my Dad in every way, even in looks.

She was very sharp.
She was a very intelligent.
She was go getting.
She was a forward thinker.
She was a lot of the things I am not.
But she wasn't a bad mum, and I don't look anything like her.

Really aggie?! Well done for acting so quickly!

An old friend of my Mum met me for coffe , she sat staring at me then burst out , You are very like your Mother ............. but .............. she was good looking ! I got up and walked out

Difficult one as I know my own mother's faults and I have plenty too! I would like to hope that I give love unconditionally to those that matter most, just as my mother did though.

In all the right ways

Not too many ways hope - a challenging lady.

I look in the mirror and there she is staring back at me I just wish I had her lovely svelt figure she was always slim. I'm glad I'm not moody though my Mum could sulk for England.

Oh dear - I suspect this may not go quite the way it was foreseen. I'm yet another that has been influenced not to be like my mum, at least when it comes to parenting. I too struggle with choosing a card that doesn't have mawkish sentiments that would be totally unsuitable.

I hope the only thing we have in common is that she was a good hands-on grandmother and so am I. I would not want to be like her in any other way.

I think I have her and her mother's indomitable spirit. My D seems to have it as well. Apart from that absolutely nothing and I used to struggle to buy a card for Mothering Sunday and birthdays that said just enough but not too much.

Maw

I hope not.

Funnily enough when Paw used to even get close to suggesting that, it was not usually meant as a compliment so the less said the better!
