Are you turning into your mother? (now you're a mother too)
You are nothing like your mother. The way she raised you bears zero resemblance to your own parenting style. But hang on. Was that you, growling, 'Elbows off the table' - or your own mother talking?


Try Fiona Gibson's quiz and spot the warning signs - before it's too late...

1. When you announced your baby's name, did your mother:
  Say, 'That's nice' and express no further opinion?
  Express no surprise - as she played a major part in choosing it?
  Snap, 'That's interesting' and ask you to spell it?
 
2. Your mum observes that your child 'isn’t wearing enough layers'. Do you:
  Ask, 'Do you want him to overheat, or what?'
  Bung a sweater on him just to keep your mum happy?
  Assure her he's fine, but secretly keep checking he's warm enough?
 
3. Your mum knits fashion horrors that would have your infant drummed out of playgroup. Do you:
  Accept her offerings (at least they're free) and feel grateful for her kindness?
  Dispatch them straight to the charity shop?
  Allow your child to wear them under cover of darkness?
 
4. Admit it. You've said something to your child - and it could have been your own mother talking. Does this make you…
  Laugh - there's simply no escaping her?
  Sigh in recognition?
  Feel horrified?
