You have become your father

There comes a moment in every man's life when something unsettling happens. It's not when you get your first gray hair. Nor when you get excited about paying less at the gas station. Not even when you start saying things like, "This wine goes down a treat."
 

The real moment comes when you do something… and you think: “My father used to do this.“
 

It could be a body posture, hands behind your back, rattling keys. Laughing too much at a joke (a dad joke). Looking in the mirror and seeing that your hairline is dangerously similar to his.
 

And then it hits you: you have become your father. 

15 SIGNS YOU'RE TURNING INTO YOUR FATHER

If you're over thirty, you probably agree with your father that:

1. YOU DISCUSS THE WEATHER WITH STRANGERS. 

"This cold weather is not normal for March," because you also have a little TVE meteorologist inside you.

2. YOU GET MISSING OUT LOOKING AT THE CONSTRUCTION...

. ..barbecues or cars at the car wash. A stronger and more irresistible gravitational attraction has not yet been discovered.

3. YOU START TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS...

. ...close drawers and play Tetris in the dishwasher. Domestic engineering applied to any piece of furniture.

4. You check the price of the oil...

. ...or gasoline as if it were Bitcoin.

5. YOU LIKE A GOOD NAP.

A "silly" one, a planned one, one after eating... or after breakfast.

6. You think noisy bars are a bad idea.

And you find yourself saying, "I'm going to leave now."

7. YOU START TO THINK RED WINE IS GOOD.

8. You start getting gray hairs in your beard...

. ...recesses in the mirror and laugh lines They don't return to their place.

9. YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR BACK POSTURE.

And the knees. And some mysterious joint that was fine yesterday.

10. YOU USE BARS LIKE “THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN BEFORE”.

11. You have an exact temperature for the shower...

. ...and another for the thermostat. And both are the only correct and optimal ones.

12. YOU EMIT SOUNDS:

When you sit down, stand up, lie down... Small, functional grunts.

13. COMPARE APPLIANCES...

. ...with the same intelligence, detail, and scrutiny you used to apply to computers and video games: coffee makers and vacuum cleaners are the new desktop computers 

14. READ THE SIGNS:

From elevators, airplanes, swimming pools, or shampoo... valuable information 

15. YOU START SENTENCES WITH 'WELL, IT'S NOT SO BAD...'

The transition is silent. One day you're the son... and the next...

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR FATHER

Our parents (boomers and earlier generations) grew up in a very different world. Without the internet. Without cell phones. Without social media. Without YouTube tutorials for everything.

 

They learned by imitating others... or by simply improvising. They did the best they could... until they learned to do it better.

 

And in the meantime... well, they waited and endured. Generations forged with less self-care, with more of "pulling the cart without complaining"... not because they didn't want anything else; it's because there was no choice.

 

For example, your father's skincare routine probably looked something like this: supermarket shampoo, aftershave that stung like gasoline on an open wound, cream from the blue tin when his skin peeled... roll-on deodorant... and that's about it.

 

And that's what they used to make do. 

WHEN BECOMING YOUR OWN FATHER ISN'T BAD NEWS

Over time, we all inherit something from our parents. Their gestures. Their quirks. Their way of looking at things.  

 

And one day you find yourself appreciating "the good": their resilience, their problem-solving skills, that quiet way of being there when needed. And you also understand (only now, with the benefit of hindsight) that there were other, 'less good' things they did, which weren't exactly a choice. They were context, era, and (lack of) learning.

 

They had to learn through trial and error. We, the children of Google and ChatGPT, have a different path: deciding what to keep and what to do differently. Because in the end, growing up is also about that. About becoming a little like your father. But with the internet, moisturizer... and less aftershave, because it stings.

 

Happy Father's Day. 

P.D. : If the only thing you don't want to inherit from your father is his receding hairline, we have a plan: a hair supplement. It's called Growzilla. 🦁
