Hey Milani,

So its true then?

You end up making the same mistakes your parents did? A lot of my friends who are parents said that when they were growing up they always knew better than their parents but now they find themselves saying the same things!!!!

Nice reminder of all the things we heard from our parents. As I get older, they seem to be smarter!

Yes it is true. Sorry to say but it does eventually happen. Now my kids say that they will never say those things to their own kids. Just wait and see :D

I always thought my mom was a flake for saying things like that. It jut didn't make sense. If their are kids out there starving well mail them my food. :lol: I always had a come back for each one of those. :lol:
