I've noticed lately that my daughter holds quite a few opinions just because she knows what I believe in. She tells people to vote for the party that I support, is just finally separating from my religious beliefs after I've told her that she must find her own answers, and tries to read the same books I read... unless it's completely dry non fiction.

She's twelve now so she's starting to get more independent. It will be interesting if she rebels now and tries to tell me that I forced all these ideas on her.

She will thats what growing up is about. Then she will come around and know that Mom ideas were pretty good one.

I'm not convinced my ideas are all that great yet. LOL

You could terrify her by picking up all her opinions instead for a day just to show her how creepy she'd find it.

Or you could watch the news together and take turns saying "that's good" - "no it isn't!" about each item, or is that too much like being here?

Interesting idea.

I mimic well. I think I managed a pretty good spot imitation while I was there, yes?

I still grind my teeth whenever I recall it.

My kids are 19,33,36,37 and they still mimic me. They do have minds of their own but they vote for the party I vote for and my eldest wants to foster just because I do but I have told her its a very hard thing to do and she has 4 children and 2 are Autistic. It was intersting watching the girls when they were little wanting to dress like me....but that has certainly changed

The scary part is when they says things that make more sense then what we say:wah:
