8 signs you’re turning into your mother

Her

Brought to you by Comfort Intense. 

Let’s face it, we are all turning into our mammies.

If you find yourself tutting at the price of milk or giving out unsolicited advice on the reg then this article is for you.

You can either accept the fact, or spend your life denying it. We’re embracing it, and we would advise you to do the same. After all, our mothers are pretty damn fantastic.

Here are 8 signs you’re turning into your Mammy. How many of these apply to you?*

*We would like to apologise in advance for any trauma caused by reading this article.

You find yourself shaking your head when you see someone outside without a coat

Sure they will catch their death the poor things.

You meet your friends for a Saturday coffee

Coffee? Seriously? Long gone are the days when you would only meet them in the bar queue at Coppers.

You look forward to early nights

Scratch that you LOVE early nights. Nothing makes you happier than getting a solid 8-hour sleep. It’s the little things.

You and your friends have had at least one conversation…

During which you all gave out yards about the ‘youths of today’. Sorry, who? The youths? Oh right, you’re openly admitting that you’re not part of that demographic anymore.

Your ideal Sunday now includes a little afternoon nap

And you’re not going to apologise to anyone for it.

Your grasp of technology is fading slightly

How do you upload more than one photo to Instagram and what is this Airdrop thing people keep talking about? You may never know.

You get strangely annoyed with automated phone calls

Everytime you ring the bank you spend ages going around in circles trying to figure out how to talk to an actual person. Why do they make things so complicated?

You get really into buying homeware

Like really into it. You live for trips to Ikea and would happily spend an hour or two milling around the Dunnes homeware section.
