Are you becoming like one of your parents?

Yes, The Silent Generation. I've also heard "The Greatest Generation"

Thanks NewlySenior. I appreciated the article. Always wondered but never looked it up before. I never heard of generations being given "Names" back in my younger days.

I was raised by my grandma, loved her dearly, but grandma was a matriarch, and we all said yes mam no matter what she said. She ruled the roost. I find myself becoming more and more like her. I hope that I can be as smart as her too.

Yes, my mother disliked every neighbor we had, and I don't like my neighbors either.

Yea, I am becoming more like my Dad. Handsome, debonair, helpful, smart, and full of BS!

Under pressure, i find myself saying the same things my parents did. For example, after a social event my dad would say, "I thoroughly enjoyed myself," if he'd had a good time. I caught myself saying this the other day.

My mother was a tall fireball. If she was on your side, you could take on the world. My dad was a gentle giant with a big Norwegian nose which I inherited. They were great parents. My personality is like my father. Not too many things bother me. I wish I had more of my mother’s fire and strength. When I look in the mirror I see my mother’s blue eyes and my father’s big nose. It gives me comfort.

I certainly hope I become like my Dad. He was a wonderful man. If I can become half the man, I'll exceed my potential.

@-Oy- I agree wholeheartedly with you.
If I have become even a little like my Dad, I will be happy.
A giving, quiet man who always saw the potential of others and encouraged them to succeed.

No thanks.

Fortunately not.
