Ry Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 If I had a nickle for every time my mother said "you're just like your father" I'd be a rich woman. I look like my dad, act like my dad, it's scary boys and girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadstimeon Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'm more like my mother, she is like a pit bull on a poddle, she does not let go of anything and I have been told I'm the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy RN Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Definitely my MOM!! I look like her, sound like her, and yes----I act just like her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Actually neither. My mom extremely outgoing and my dad was extremely quiet. I am between both. But unfortunately, I have physical characterists of my moms side. I am only 5' ( was 5' 1 1/2, shrunk 1 & 1/2 inches ) My mom was 4'11 and shrunk to 4'8. Plus she has the big stomach which we all inherited. I hate it. If I had the money for plastic surgery, that is the only thing that I would get done. Lipo suction and a tummy tuck!! My dad had a washboard stomach (went in instead of out). Thank G-d my daughter inherited that part of my dads side. She is also 5'6. Her legs comes up to the top of my hips... go figure Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyoung20 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I look like my dad but I have alot of my mom's personality traits. She is a real "spitfire". GOD BLESS!! Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 As some of you remember, I was adopted and didn't meet my biological parents until I was 20 years old. After meeting them, I realized that appearance wise, I was very much like my dad. But, all the personality traits that I have seem to come from the wonderful couple that raised me...my real parents. I am so much like my mom that it's amazing. But, I'm a lot like my dad, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 personality-wise, I am more like my father in most ways. irreverent, bookish, a temper I work very hard to try and contain. sports fan, to the death - Yankees, Rangers, Giants, in that order. in the ways I am different from my father, though, I am just like my mother. emotionally driven, spiritually seeking. our aesthetics are similar, as well. I also take after my father's side of the family physically, especially my paternal grandmother, though people say I have suki's smile. xoxo bunny (a nickname men on my father's side of the family have had for generations) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 appearance wise I am a good combination of both my parents, however, I am just like my Dad in every other way. Mannerisms, emotions ect I am my Dad's twin, right down to the good ole Irish temper!!!!

Teacake Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Everybody says I look just like my Mama. However, I have an old photo of Mama and Daddy right after they married and folks that see it and don't know Mama say I look like Daddy. Personality wise: Good and bad from both.

cindi o'h Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Mom was Irish through and through. Dad was German through and through. So. First I drink 'em under the table. Then, I beat the hell out of 'em. Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calintay Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Mother - High strung, always worrying about someone or something, and moody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I think I look like my dad's side, but I think my personality is more like my mother. She was outgoing, liked being around people, had an Irish temper, liked learning new things, and having fun. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'm not really like either, looks or personality. I guess I was brought up to be my own person, an individual - and looks like they got that down just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyn Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Very good question... I am truly a mix of each of them... I look very much like my Mom and I am very sensitive like she is. I have my Dad's quick wit and sense of humor... I am usually the one who gets the party laughing. So, God blessed me with the best of both of them....

Nushka Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 When I look at pictures of me now and pictures of my mom at my age its hard to tell which one of us is there. My physical health is alot like my dad's but my temperment is alot like my mom. I hate confrontation, I think loving each other is the most important thing any of us can do, my family is very important to me and we are very close. I wish I had a little more of my dad's intellect and drive. He graduated from med school when he was 21 and never let a day go by that he didn't read and learn something new. His patients all loved him deeply and many times I saw him cry over his patient's illnesses or death. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyjohn Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I have been told that I look and sound like my mama. I know that like her I am a worrier. I also have very storng work ethics that I got from her. From my dad I got my love of reading and my ability to use words to express myself. The thing is I can express myself in writing but when I try to do it in person I just can't seem to express what I mean. That has caused me a lot of problems in my life.
