Mom or Dad....which are you more like?

fwan · Mar 22, 2005

hmm thats kind of hard, i see my self physically in both of my parents.
But my mum says i look extremely like my grandma, then my dad says i look like his mother too so its very confusing!
my Bf says i inherited the good qualities off both parents

graykittenlove · Mar 22, 2005

Well I looks wise I am my mother made over only a little heavier build which comes from my Dad's side. Personally, I'd say I'm a pretty even split.

I look like my mom, and I hold a lot of my mom's political beliefs. But otherwise, I act like my dad!

annabelle33 · Mar 22, 2005

i look more like my mom. BF says I act way more like my mom and my mom says I act way more like my dad, but i think i took something from each and made it me. I would say I got my mom's professional side and my dad's fun side.

I look like my mom, but my personality is exactly like my dad's.

ugaimes · Mar 22, 2005

I am my mother incarnate, period.

ali012281 · Mar 22, 2005

I think I am a good mix of the two. I have a lot of my fathers talents and share a lot of his views. I look like both of them as well. I share in my mothers love for crafts but we do different crafts

pinkdaisy226 · Mar 22, 2005

I think I'm most like my dad. I look totally like him... so much so that when people used to see me and my mother together, they would think I was adopted... til they saw my dad. I'm also a lot like him personality wise - stubborn as heck, always have to be right. I think I got all his bad qualities. But my mother is the most generous person I know so I hope I got some of her good qualities!

I'm like my dad in alot of ways & like my mom in a lot of ways. A weird mix of both.

I look like my mom, same smile, same eyes, same hair. But not the same body, that's for certain. She didn't take care of herself and I take extra good care of myself.

I have my dad's low cholesterol & dad's low blood pressure, though. Weird how that happened.

eva-loves-cats · Mar 22, 2005

because of my background I won't say I am anything like my parents as they are awful (i wont exlain why) but people often say how like my sister I am...if that counts!

cazx01 · Mar 22, 2005

everyone says im like my dad, i think i was when i was younger, but not now.
i'm probably more like my dad than my mum, well, most people say i am.

katspixiedust · Mar 22, 2005

As far as looks go I'm quite a mix. I have my mom's shape eyes, but the blue color of them comes from my dad. My hair did the same thing as my dads - blonde as a little girl and dark brown once I got older- but the thick waviness comes from my mom's side (more specifically my grandfather). I have high cheekbones which comes probably mostly from my mom and our Cherokee heritage, but also from my dad's mother. My mom tells me my smile is a replica of her mother's (it's rather large, which I don't always like lol). I'm fairly tall (5'8") and that is a mix in my family (my brother got the short genes - he's one inch taller than me and nearly 30).

Basically, people say "Wow you and your brother look exactly alike."

But I never really hear it about my parents.

rarepuss · Mar 22, 2005

neither really. I have my own distinct personality and a way of dealing with life.

I think i'm most like my grandmother on my father's side, actually

To give you a perspective, I'm a LEO, my mom's PIECES and my father is a TAURUS - a total mad house!

vespacat · Mar 22, 2005

Too bad about your father - I can understand where you're coming from.

And yes, genetics are that powerful. Let's just say my family background is like the Hemingways, and that is proof enough that certain types of personalities do run in families.

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.

Wow, you've got a whole mix of elements there! I can only imagine!

My dad was a Scorpio and I have Aries rising - so our house was a battlefield when I was in my teens!

My dad, definately. I am such a daddys girl. I am just as stubborn, opinionated and always want to be right. (I am working on all these traits

). When I get mad at my dad it is usually because he is exhibiting the same above traits that I have myself. On the other hand I have his love of family, animals and the desire to help mankind. He has done so much good and still desires to do more. I admire him so much. I love my mom too but I am so much more like my dad.

ahaha.. i can imagine. I think i'd fared better if i had an aries, sagittarius, gemini or libra around, but alas, no such luck! I get stuck with a taurus for a father - WOWZA!

ghostuser · Mar 22, 2005

Mom's a Leo and Horse.... I'm a Tauras and a Rat.... In both astrological circles, we don't get along!

(What was really funny is that our last cat was a Taurus and a Rat as well.... Oh what bad karma....)

kittylover4ever · May 13, 2005
