The top 20 signs you are turning into your parents include nodding off on the sofa, repeating the same jokes – and saving old boxes, tins and bags ‘just in case’

A quirky poll of 2,000 adults found half believe they are morphing into their own mum or dad.
And on average, this transformation happens at precisely 32-and-a-half years of age.

Another four in 10 believe starting to turn into a parent made them feel closer to them – and a cheeky 84 per cent of those in relationships will wind up their
