How do you feel when others say that you're just like your mom?!?

Usually when someone says, "you're just like your mom" to me they mean it in an insulting way. My mom has a tendency to be a little on the dramatic side. She has a temper, too, and is somewhat bipolar. I would say that I have a lot of my mom's traits, but they are not all bad. I am nowhere as extreme as my mom, but I did get her passionate nature. I also have some of my dad's easy-going attitude, too, so I think it balances out okay. If someone says I am just like my mother and mean it in a positive way, then I take it as a compliment. I think it all depends how people mean it.

It is understandable to anyone who has a not so nice mom to be insulted if they where compare to their mom. But for me I never feel insulted by that even though we have some common things. I even took it as a challenge and I try to prove them that I may be like my mom but Im definitely better than her. LOL Don't get me wrong I don't hate my mom but there are some qualities of her that I think Im more better.
