So this week's Small Talk Six topic is six ways you are like or unlike your mother. It is an interesting topic really. I had to give it a bunch of thought but here goes.
1. I look like my mother. Plenty of people say I am the spitting image of her. Hubby adamantly disagrees with this. He does, however, concede the resemblance. My mom has four sisters (she is one of eight) and they all look alike and even Hubby agrees that I look like one of them.
2. I sound like my mother. We have very similar voices. When I was in high school many a time did a friend call up and start talking to my mother thinking she was me. And my Grandfather (my mom's dad) could not tell us apart (over the phone) to save his life.
3. My mother HATES to eat. She has said many times that if she could just take a pill to get rid of hunger and remain healthy she would. Me? If I could eat all day and not weigh 350 pounds I totally would. I LOVE to eat - especially snacking. :)
4. My mother finds a child (any child) crying to be almost painful. Now, I am not saying I like hearing kids cry (especially my own) but I do know that sometimes it is necessary. I get that if Baby Sister is overtired and crabby I might have to put her to bed and let her cry for a few minutes. She will fall asleep after 3 - 5 minutes and it is okay. Or if Big Brother is crying because I told him I did not like his behavior or I punished him that it is okay. That it is necessary and I am fine with it.
5. My mother hates to talk on the phone. So much so that if it is a choice between losing closeness with someone or talking to them on the phone she will lose out on the relationship. Granted I would rather have a face to face conversation but if I can't I do just fine with the phone. As a matter of fact when we were in college ( and he was here and I was in Florida) Hubby and I wracked up such high phone bills that I actually used to call on the phone and pay over the phone so I could talk to a customer service rep. Why did I do that? Because as long as I spoke to someone they would give me a $100 credit on my phone bill - monthly. Can you imagine?
6. And lastly my mother has trouble just typing in a website where as I am learning html code from Hubby.
Don't forget to head over to MomDot to see how everyone else compares to their moms. Happy Mother's Day!!!

12 Thoughtful Thoughts so far. What do you think?
A $100 credit monthly? That must've been some phone bill!
Wow. I wonder what it would be like to hate to eat. That's not even a concept in my family.
I'm with ya on the crying thing too.
Wish I could hate eating. lol I bet your Mom is very trim, huh? And I'm so with your Mom on number 5...lol My STS
I am like your mom when it comes to eating. I don't have any joy in it. Happy MOther's Day!

Lol-I hate talking on the phone and so does my mom so we never talk! Lol! We do however email and text a lot.
I'm with your mom about the phone, for the most part anyway. I'm with you on the crying, for the most part. LOL
I'm the kind of person who doesn't like talking on the phone either. I can't imagine needing a $100 credit! That could cover a good 3 or 4 months for me!
Haha to hate eating! WOW! Ya I like it a lil too much! ;) def need to stop b4 I get to 350lbs ;)LMBO
Ok I am soooo shy in person but I think im like you with the phone I can talk for hours depending on the person!
(fwiw I would say your not very much like your Mom)
I am like your mother on the phone thing! I can't stand it!
I can't imagine hating to eat. I could do it all the time. As a matter of fact...
I think we are all a little like our mothers. I know I am. Have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day.
