If you had to pick, which parent are you more like? I've been told I'm the female version of my father......and although I have alot of his traits, I don't think I am. I tend to be alot like my mom......

What about you??

I would say I'm most like my mom. Though I do share my dad's stubbornness!
What scares me though is when some corny joke comes out of my mouth and all I can think is "Oh god...that's something my mom would say!!!!!!"

That's easy, i came to Accept that I had "become my Mother" a bit ago. I work at a college like she did etc.

I am the better cook like my father was. Plus mom was a teatotaler and Dad liked his cocktails and so do I. But as people I am much more like my Mom.

My sister promised to shoot me if I became like my mother. I'm still alive, so I don't know if that means I'm not like my Mom or if it means she doesn't keep her promises

Growing up, the entire family and I were from two different worlds.

physical attributes, I'm definitely my father's child - I was BORN w/red hair like his, and all my, *ahem*, female attributes are from his family.

Purrsonality, I have come to accept that I AM my mother - grudgingly,

In a state of insanity :)
I favor my Dad
miss you Dad
but I got my hair coloring
from my Moms side of the family. Mom's Dad had red hair and she has always said that mine looked just like his. Oh yeah I would rather be awake at night and sleep late than go to bed early and get up early that was something I got from Dad's side.

So I favor Dad more than Mom. I can also answer for Blondiecat and Spideycat too. Blondiecat is Moms side of the family.
Spideycat is Dad's side of the family
just one thing thou Mom and Dad both have dark color hair. We all wound up with different color hair. Mine is Red Cathi is blonde and David is brown and my other brother's hair is black.

I look like my mother but I have my father's personality traits. I am definitely Daddy's girl!

Although my dad died when I was 17, I still remember his personality clearly... and it's amazing how we are so much alike.
I look like a combination of my parents (blonde hair and blue eyes from mom... facial structure and dimples from dad), though I'm nothing like my mother in any other way.

Great question.

In pretty much all physical respects, I am my Mum all over again, and I can even see me becoming her Mum (though I never really knew Nana). Much of my personality -- certainly the way I think -- and my areas of aptitude -- are from Mum too. But my temper is from Dad, and there are lots of people who see him in me physically, too. My love of food and cooking comes from both sides.

There's no place like home
I look like my dad's father (he had the red hair and stocky german figure).

Personality wise I never thought I was much like either of them until I lost them and realized how much of both of their personalities is alive and well inside of me. I take great pride in making things (rather than buying them) - thanks Dad, and can be the most overly generous person in the world - thanks Mom. I blend both of these characteristics together when I make things for the many cats and dogs in my life. Auntie Em (side-business) was named for my niece but represents both of my parents.

My mom tells me I'm a clone of my father. (They divorced when I was two, and I rarely see or talk to him, seeing as how he's living in another state and chooses to be unemployed. Don't ask.) I'm not sure how, but I have his exact personality, and have all of his bad habits. Can genetics really be THAT powerful?

My grandparents and the rest of my mom's side of the family say that I am just like my Great-Uncle Sam (My grandpa's brother). He passed away three months before I was born, and I know from stories that he was so happy my mom was pregnant, and couldn't wait to see me.
They've always told me that he's my guardian angel, and for all that's happened, I really like to think he is.

W/ the best cats
If I had a choice, I want to be as patient and as friendly as my dad. Unfortunately, I know I have the impatience but the frankness (or tactlessness
) of my mother.

People always say that they can tell I am my Mother's Daughter!
I can even see it too! I look exactly like her when she was my age and have extrememely similer personalities! We get on brilliantly
and she's certainly great
, so I don't mind at all being her clone!


The funny thing is that my sister is identical to my Dad in personality and looks!
