25 People Share The Situations That Made Them Realize They’ve Turned Into Their Parents

by Damjan

Some things in life we cannot change, no matter how much we try. The Sun is going to die eventually, we have to pay taxes, and we are all going to turn into our parents.

It does not matter what we do and how much we fight it; it is going to happen, so we might as well accept that and go on with our lives. So, just relax and enjoy the ride.

A recently shared post inspired people to share the moments they’ve realized that they are turning into their parents. They are hilarious and, unfortunately, so relatable. So, so, relatable..

The original post:

1. Tank tops

"I used to make fun of my mom for buying the same clothes in every color — and now I have five of the same tank top in four different colors."

"When I told my young cousin to stop talking to me like one of her 'little friends.'"

7. Parking

"When I was a kid, my dad always backed into parking spaces, and I found it annoying. Then, when I was an adult, I was once in a tight spot at a restaurant, so instead of pulling an Austin Powers, I just backed right in...

Ever since then, I always back into parking spaces — those few extra seconds are worth it when you leave!"

—bridgets5

25. Grandma

"I haven't actually turned into my mother — I've turned into my GRANDMOTHER. I always have snacks on hand, which I keep in plastic bags that I reuse until there are actual holes in them.

It wasn't the way I expected to keep her legacy alive, but it does make me smile and remember her, plastic bags and all."
