Is the daughter like the mother, or the mother like the daughter?

Question

Who makes who?

Answer 1

Be you a son or a daughter you are born with a basic genetic make up that comes from both your parents and their parents before them. Your so called personality builds upon this "base". It can be effected by many variables in your life's journey. You can take a child away from it's birth parents and reunite them years latter and find what you may believe to be similar personality trites between the child and one or both the birth parents. This is the "base". But the child will have learned behavior also from the adopted parents and other adults close to the child. Again, the Brain is a complicated organ and what may hold true for one may not for the other. If I was to compare my daughter with myself I see that she has some of my personality and some of her births fathers personality and has acquired some trites from her step-father. I'd say she's blended it all together wonderfully to become a truly unique, artistic and beautiful young woman that I'm very proud of.

Answer 2

The answer is obvious. The mother makes the daughter until the daughter figures out how to drive the mother insane and then the daughter makes the mother. This happens when the daughter is at about the age of 2.

Answer 3

All women turn into their mothers, no matter how opposed to the idea they may be. Sometimes mothers try to live out some unrealized childhood fantasy through their daughters, The mother shapes the daughter.

Answer 4

The daughter is like the mother.. ^_^

Answer 5

It depends on the age of the mother when she has a child. Very young mothers (e.g. teenagers) end up growing up with their daughter and in some ways may compete with them or try to stay "young." A mature mother who has lived will allow the daughter to be who she is, and the daughter may end up emulating her mother.

Answer 6

Daughter like mother, but could be like father.

Answer 8

The children emulate the parents. Psychologists and psychiatrists say that 85% of your adult personality is formed by the time you are six years old. It seems so hard to believe but it really is true.

I was very much like my mother when I married. I couldn't stand that thought, and I absolutely couldn't stand the thought of my daughters being like her either. I had to overcome an awful lot with purposeful thought before I acted, whether it be discipline or any other thing. I purposed never to make a promise that I couldn't keep, never to let my children feel less important than my work or to make them beg in some form or another for my love and attention.

Now my children take after me. They talk to each other and to me in the same manner that I talk to them, they are not afraid to approach me or daddy for any of their needs, whether it be a hug or a glass of milk, and most importantly, the friends they've chosen for themselves are the same kinds of kids they are, loving, gentle, easy-going, respectful, no bad influences or any desire for bad influence.

So much different than me when I was a kid; it's amazing. You really can trace most adult issues right back to mom and dad.
