Proven: starting from your 33rd, you begin to look like your mother

Do you hear yourself chattering through the house again, complaining about the mess that is lying around? Do you see yourself frowning in the reflection of your laptop? Thanks, mom.

You are starting to look more and more like your mother, whether you like it or not. According to experts, this is inevitable with age. Starting from your 33rd, to be precise, you become more and more like your mother.

Other world
Research involving more than two thousand women and men shows that women start to resemble their mothers in appearance and personality at the age of 33. Men start to resemble their fathers once they have passed the age of 34. How does that work? From then on, you (usually) enter a similar life phase as you know from your parents. You have children yourself, have a steady job, a partner, and a house you own. You automatically get a life that is somewhat similar to your parents, who may already be in their sixties, but in broad terms, it resembles your life. This is quite different during childhood or teenage years, where you really live worlds apart. Suddenly, you can talk to her better and better about - well - everything in life.

Researcher Julian De Silva is convinced that at some point we all start to resemble our mother or father. ‘And that's something we should celebrate,’ says Julian. ‘Becoming a parent is often the trigger, but other factors also play a role. Physically, as we age, we start to resemble our parents more and more.’ Just look at that frown. Those curves around your hips. That slightly too shrill laugh, those eye-squint wrinkles, that very similar nose. You will notice it starting at 33. Just take a good look at your mother.

Self-confidence
What is nice is: you can also admit more. Your mother was often right, when you were young and didn't want to listen. When she said, for example, that it was annoying that you never took anything upstairs that was already lying on the stairs. That it's not nice to whine that the food is ‘gross’ while she just spent an hour cooking. That it's actually very nice to go on vacation with the family, that you learn from hard work, and that you must stand on your own in life. That you should always do what makes you happy. That you can think of yourself, that there is no one like you, that you are beautiful and just right. If anyone is a boost for your self-confidence, it's mom. It's good that we have her.
