London - If the woman in your life is closing in on the age of 31, you may want to know about the results of a recent survey.
It seems that women start adopting the same attitudes and tastes as their mothers when they are 31 – the same age as the Duchess of Cambridge.
The key turning point which sees daughters become more like their mothers is the birth of their first child.
The early 30s are also typically the time at which a woman gets married and starts to adjust to family life and the need to pay a mortgage.
More than half of the 1 000 women surveyed by online gambling firm Dotty Bingo said they stopped rebelling against their mothers in their early 30s and started mimicking them instead.
Only five percent of women said they turned into their mothers in their 20s. By far the most popular age for the change was 31.
The Duchess celebrated her 31st birthday in January and her first baby is due in July.
She plans to live with her 58-year-old mother Carole Middleton at the family home in Berkshire following the birth.
The poll’s conclusions chimed with official statistics. Figures assembled by the Office for National Statistics, show the average age at which a woman has a baby has now climbed to 29.7, and the typical age at which a woman marries is 30. About 51 percent of those in the study named their mother as the most inspirational woman in their lives.
Sisters came second with 18 percent, grandmothers gained 10 percent and best friends were fourth with eight percent.
More than a third of those polled said giving birth was the most obvious trigger for women turning into their mothers.
Around a quarter said enjoying the same TV shows or soaps was a telltale sign.
Other popular indicators included taking up the same hobbies, using the same sayings and even being attracted to the same type of men. - Daily Mail
