As I've gotten older, I transitioned from judging my mom's love for HGTV and constant naps to obsessing over décor and sleep. So, when Twitter user @DontAskMeBitch2 (LOL) asked people over 25 years old to share the auntie/uncle/old people habits they've started developing as we push closer to our parents' ages, I was thrilled to see I wasn't alone.
