Being Your Parents

[Merika]

What are some of the things you do exactly like your parents....which annoys you....but you can't help yourself?

My Mom used to blame 'the household' for everything that went wrong....like if she couldn't find her brush, she burned something she was cooking or something didn't go right.....it was OUR fault for keeping her so busy. SHe would go on and on.....to the point where we would know what she was going to say next. I DO this....and can't STOP IT! LOL!

I'm disorganised like my Dad. Our particular specialism is losing things. He's much better at it than me but I've inherited the gene.

I've learned organisational skills but it doesn't come easily so I sometimes slip up. Now it's mainly minor irritations (always running late and losing things in the house) but when I was younger it was much more inconvenient. I've lost passports, keys, luggage, purses, birth certificates, missed flights etc.

My Dad is so forgetful that when I was a small child he'd come to pick me up at school and forget to stop, driving straight past me and back out again. We rarely made it home with the right set of keys. The odd thing is that when we lived in Jamaica he was considered relatively normal, maybe slightly amusing whereas my Mum was viewed as extremely uptight.

I'm not a clean freak and wish I was a bit better with my money.

I repeat myself.

I take my frustration out on those I love most when I'm pissed off.
