I’m actually pretty similar to my parents in many ways. I’d say I’m definitely more similar to them than I am different. We both partied as kids, we both don’t like fighting or violence, we both love traveling the world, and we’re both grammar nazis. I share my dad’s interest in computers and photography, my mom’s interest in gardening and interior decorating, and my parents and I share views on things like capital punishment, corporal punishment, homosexuality, and other things.
But in the ways that I am different, for one, my dad as a kid tended to have one best friend and didn’t have many other friends. I always had a best friend, but I had a big group of friends too, more like my mom. My dad is definitely more interested in business and economics than I am; that stuff just doesn’t interest me. I am more argumentative than both of my parents (I’m more interested in debates and arguments) and I swear more. My mom is more religious than I am; she isn’t a conservative, but she is definitely more conservative when it comes to religious topics. Neither of my parents were terribly athletic as kids, but I’ve always been into playing sports and things like biking and skateboarding. I’m interested in writing stories, neither of my parents were ever really into that. I rarely let myself get stressed, but my mom will get stressed more often.
Just a few things I thought of. In general, I really hope I can be like my parents when I have kids; I think they were an excellent example. :)
