I have my father’s temper and my mom’s creativity.
Back up! XD

I have my father’s good looks(ha) and my mothers smile, fun and laughter.

I am a good mix.

Actually, I’m a good mix of both.

From my father I get the good old fashioned practicality when it comes to dealing with life in general.

From my mother I get the artistic spirit (and somewhat warped sense of humor that goes along with it).

I got my father’s mother’s personality and my mother’s build. Stubborn and slender. And a really warped sense of humor no one acknowledges whatsoever.

I’m both. My dad’s sense of humor and my mom always makes fun of me because of this, his legs and feet. I look exactly like my mom and sound just like her.

I am a combination of my father’s mother’s grandson and my sister’s mother’s son.

tom q, say what??

More like my father in temperament, energy level and personality but there are traces of my Mom in me too..

I got my dad’s natural understanding and interest for all things left-brainy, and my mom’s creativity and enthusiasm for art.

I think my personality is very different from both of them.

I’m a spitting image of my Mom; have her smarts; her strong German legs, and her love of music. I am also very compassionate and calm, like my Mom.

I have my Dad’s sense of style/decorating; love of plants, animals and the outdoors; and his perpetual lateness.

My Mom was more relaxed (laid back) and private. My Dad is very, very outgoing, talkative and loves to be around people. I am somewhere inbetween.

I tend to think I’m not all grown up.

But I’m a lot more like my father. In looks, actions, pretty much everything but one facet of my personality: stubbornness. That’s a lot more like my mother.

The one I felt the most distant from : my father. I’m now drawn to gardening, photography, repair, speaking my mind, determination, dogs and fishing. I can’t wait to see what I attach myself to next. LOL

I got a bit of both.

Gee, I don’t know! I don’t know them. :/

I have traits of both. My thinking style is more like my father’s.

I’m stubborn and cautiously optimistic like my father, but I look a lot like my mother. I also get my interest for history/literature from her, as well as my sense of humor.

Both. I have my dads patience, appreciation for life, hopefullness, love of God, and I would like to think his heart and adventurous side.
I have my mothers realistic views of the world, determination, sensibleness, and caution. Both of them love nature and so do I.
I know some of these things are opposite of each other. I think that is what balanced them out as a couple and helped me to be able to see two sides of an issue before coming to conclusions.

I am a lot like my father. Perhaps more strongly my father’s daughter than anything else. I got his hair color, eye color and freckles. His temperament and even many mannerisms. He was rather absent in my early upbringing so I find it amazing how strongly his fingerprint is on my expressions in speech and gestures. I can certainly see ways my mother influenced my upbringing and helped form my early view of the world…but in the battle of nature vs. nurture..it seems my father’s genetics beat out everything else. ;)

Some traits I didn’t recognize as having been part of my personality were clearer when I saw them in my own children, too. Children can be a mirror of sorts..

I got a little bit of both, but I like to think I’ve molded myself into my own person.

Thank goodness I am my own person.

I see a lot of both of my parents in myself, but when it comes down to it, I’m me.

I have my father’s looks, charisma and reinventing self nature. I have my mother’s tastes as far as material things go. On more than one occasion, my mother and I have gifted each other identical items; we can easily shop for each other in most everything.

I’ve actually always wondered this. My dad passed away when I was 8. I’ve been told that I look a lot like him, but I wonder if I spent enough time with him to inherit any of his characteristics?

I’ve been told that he was a very quiet man and always thought before he spoke. I know I inherited the thinking before I speak, but I am not quiet whatsoever.
