In what ways have you found to be like your parents?

Question

My mother always said to me,"I am not not everyone else's mother"; whenever I complained that everyone else was doing something. I swore when I had my daughter that I would never be like my mom, but yesterday I said the same thing to my daughter. Have any of you done something similar? If so how?

When it comes to raising your children how are you the same?

My sister, and I used to get so aggravted with my mother for mixing up names. Now I can almost never remember names, and when I do I usually pronounce them wrong - ahh it reminds me of my mom!!
