This Viral Twitter Thread Shows How We’ve All Turned into Our Parents and It’s Spot On

Have you ever opened your mouth to say something and have been shocked to hear your mother’s voice come out? It happens to all of us as we get older and we are horrified as we realise that we aren’t as young as we thought we were.

We used to be cool, right? I’m sure we were. What happened?

People have taken to Twitter to share examples of the signs that they’ve become their parents, and I don’t think I’ve ever read a more relatable thread in my entire life. How many of these can you relate to as well?

Oh dear, those were far too close to the mark for me. Aging sucks, but it’s better than the alternative.

Which one hit home for you the most?
