Some women's worst fear is turning into their mother. The mother/daughter relationship has always been a hard one, but picking up some of their personality traits is inevitable. When I was little, I wanted to grow up to be just like my mom, but now that I'm older, sure, there are some characteristics of hers that I try to not make my own. For the most part, I'm happy to say that we are pretty darn similar. What about you? Is turning into your mother your biggest fear or are you happy to be her mini me?

i went through a phase where i tried to change the parts of my personality that were like hers, but now i embrace them as strengths! My mother is an amazing and beautiful woman.
1My mother has a lot of traits that I'm really proud to see in myself. Others that make me cringe... I remember making a phone call about 5 years ago, and when I hung up the phone, I turned to my brother and he had this funny look on his face. He told me "wow, that was like watching Mom in action"
I have to admit that stopped my heartbeat for a second.
2I dont know but I hope I am! She is an amazing woman and so was her mother.
3I am positive I'm lots like my mom, but I'm lucky in that I consider it a very good thing.
4I am definitely turning into my mother and I think thats a great thing. Also, my husband loves my mom, so I don't have to worry about those "turning into your mother" comments.
5I was my mom's last child and was very far apart in age from my other siblings...so by the time my mom got to raising me, she was over being my mom and was more fun than anything else. she's not like those mom's that tries to be cool and dress like me or anything, but I got to see the REAL person she is not just *my mom* So I definitely see her traits in my personality. I'm glad.
6I have little quirks like her but that's about it. Thank God
7We act alike, we look alike, we sound alike... it's a bit creepy. But I don't mind, cause if I'm going to end up just like my mom as I age, I'll be one smokin' hot lady!
8theres no one i love, respect and admire more than my mama. that said, there are certain traits she has which i have recognized are wrong and seen her suffer from, so i decided not to follow her in those aspects. but otherwise i would be honored to be like mom. =)
9I love my mom with all my heart and think she is a fabulous woman. The one (only one!) trait I would not want to have is that she can be pretty close-minded about certain social and political issues. I attribute that to her generation more than anything else though.
10My fiance and I got into a huge fight tonight about our future (i.e. why he believes his career always has to come first and how he would never move because of mine, and if I can't find work where he winds up, oh well I can just be a housewife -- apparently he's a chauvinistic pig and I didn't realize) but in the midst of the fight he said I was JUST LIKE MY MOTHER. I literally burst into tears. This is, hands down, the biggest insult imaginable to me. There are so many things I dislike about how my mother handles particular situations, and to be told that I was acting like her really upset me. That said, I don't know if I really WAS acting like her and need serious behavior modification, or if my fiance just threw that on the table because he wanted to say something that would really upset me.
11The other day, I saw a yonge girl walking outside with wet hair (it's snowing and freezing here) and I thought to my self "She's going to catch a cold"...Let me tell you, that is the first time I have caught myself turning into my Mother..hahah...could be worse I guess, but I thought it was pretty funny!!!
12I am A LOT like my mother.
This is okay with me,though...my mother is a wonderful, kind, and compassionate woman who has done so so much for me.
I'm actually a lot like my dad too...
13No haha. Oh god. I am more like my dad if anything. My mom and I are complete opposites.
14As I get older, I see more and more of my mom in me. And since she is such an amazing lady, I don't mind being compared to her in the least!
15i am like my mom in alot of ways and in alot i'm not. we get along good and im not complaining that we are alike. i am just like when when it comes to cleaning...and she used to do this thing when she would get drunk at family functions where she would be dancing and she'd "WOOOO" during the song...well i used to be all embarrassed by it until i turned 21 and realized that *i* did it when i was drunk and dancing. yeahhhh thats something i'd like not have haha
16I'm a happier, more thriving version of my Mom. Sadly, I think that I'm living the life my Mom wanted for herself, but due to insecurity, never pursued.
17i wish i could be like my mom... she is amazing she is truly my best friend!!! she is so confident, self assured and fun to be around i wish i could be more like her!!
18if i could be half--HALF--the woman my mom is, i would be so lucky. she's wonderful, and i absolutely adore her.
19Though my mother and I have different personality types, the older I get the more I become like her. The thing is - I love it. My mum is the coolest so turning into her would suit me fine!
20I look just like my mom, our handwriting even looks the same, and I try to be more like her everyday- at least in how I should approach people, what to say...she's always perfect at defusing a situation, or cutting through awkwardness, and she's always hilarious. my boyfriend loves her too so like someone said up there it's not like "oh no you're gonna be just like your mom". I go to her for advice a LOT because I tend to have a more fiery temper and she'll say, "Well, if you say THIS, you'll sound calmer and you'll get better results." of course..she is a psychotherapist...but it's still awesome.
