One Day You'll Have a Daughter Just Like You

I think these are words my mom must have said under her breath one time too many...because it's TRUE!!!

I see it a little more everyday and it scares me for what I have coming.  It's started with little things like she doesn't want her shoes to touch anywhere so we buy them too big, or her clothes can't touch her anywhere, and now it's "you don't do laundry enough" (which I do quite often) but really it's just that she has 2 outfits that she really likes and that is all she wants to wear.  My mom has told me often how I learned very young how to do laundry because I always wanted the same clothes and she said if I wanted them that bad I should do my own laundry. And I distinctly remember having arguments on how much too big the shoes I wanted were.

So...if these things are happening...I can only imagine what the years to come will hold.  I'm gonna need a lot of patience and even more humility as I'm gonna be shown all the horrible ways I treated my mom and have to apologize. 

Sorry Mom...if it makes you feel better...it's my turn now...hopefully she gets some of my good things too...

I think my sister has it right...I should have just had boys...that way I'd never have to say "she's just like me". :)
