Be honest now, how many of you all sound like your parents when you were a kid? (self.genx)

As I've gotten older, I find myself doing the old ughs and groan while getting off the couch or say things to my kids that my parents told me. I also truly appreciate the coveted chair or spot on the couch which is "Dad's Spot!"

Sometimes, but that usually is when there is a safety issue. Safety issues are things I do not allow discussion. They do what I tell them, period. I have found myself parroting things my parents said. However, I think that is only natural. Kids are kids after all, no matter their generation.
