Go to Life in the fast lane--where's the on ramp?

- Go to FIGHTING WORDS
I have heard it many times through my life that we become our mother.
I used to fight that thought process, but as I get older I realize that she did the best that she could as I did with my kids, but her ideas and patterns are now mine. I have slowly become my mother without even noticing until someone remind's me.

There are times when a daughter needs to realize that she does things because Mom made them seem the normal thing, not necessarily the right thing: The thing a Mom does. It took me well into my first two kids' lives to realize that, in fact, it is not a mother's job to say NO as much as possible.

It was a compliment! Things that caused arguments or differences of opinion long ago sometimes have a different slant now, at least for me.

Hey Pat...your book just arrived, but my hubby stole it.
I love how it looks. I cannot wait to read it.

It is hard not to be right. It is so hard to admit it to yourself let alone to a husband you might be arguing with. Now that it doesn't matter anymore, it is painless to admit that I was wrong a goodly amount of the time.
