10 Signs You Are Turning Into Your Father

A study done by Omaha Steaks in advance of Father’s Day surveyed over 2,000 men with close relationships and regular interactions with their dads. The study asked participants questions related to father’s day gifting, time spent with their dad, and their own experiences with aging. 

 

The study found that men are most likely to begin modelling more of their father’s behaviours (like falling asleep on the couch and telling corny jokes) at age 37. (Have you ever been told you sound like your dad?)

 

According to the survey, here are the top 10 signs that you’re turning into your dad:



1. You start taking grilling very seriously.
