Would you be pleased if you turned out to be just like mummy or daddy?

Question

If I turned out to be like my mother i'd be proud.

(Looks, body, cooking, caring and well educated)

My father?

I suppose I'd pick his good knowledge of cars.
Which parent of yours would you like to be like (if any).
Pick one positive aspect of the parent you would least like to be like.

Answer 1

No. I dont want to turn out to be a murderer or a whore.

Answer 2

Now that is just way too hard! I have 2 absolutely incredible parents. My mum is such a good mum, pretty, intelligent, kind and takes care of my dad in every way as his loving wife...
My dad is an excellent father who appreciates my mother for all that she is and all that she does to make his life precious and happy, he loves a party, cares about nothing more than his family and friends. They are both the most wonderful grandparents and even picking a fault is hard and really has me thinking...

I least like the way my dad torments and gets us all fired up then laughs...
My mum lives for my dad completely and totally and i wish she has just one interest that she was persuing solo because if my dad was to die, i think she would completely crumble.

I'm proud to be a mixture of both, they have given me the gift of their love and their values and i am very grateful as i continue to pass them onto my kids and reap the rewards of the good little people they are.

What a great question!!!

Answer 3

When I was a kid, I used to swear up and down that I didn't want to be like my mother - always fussing and nagging, putting me down, making me feel I was not whole or even part of the group. Then I had my daughter. I found myself duplicating some parts of my mother. I made sure she ate the right foods, I made sure she was dressed and cared for. I taught her to read and write at an early age. She spoke well for a toddler and never, ever did I deal with tantrums of a 2 or 3 year old. She was a good girl, always minded her mom and dad, she picked up after herself and I taught her how to cook and clean and care for herself. She was smart, she took dance lessons and piano lessons and had lots of friends. I tried not to nag, or fuss, but I found myself doing it anyway. But I found there were lots of other things my mother was that I became and they were good things. My mother was proud of me. I stepped outside the box and persued a career in singing and television. I wrote stories. I sang songs. I made mom cry tears of joy. She had grand children that she was proud of. They were good kids - she lived to see them graduate. And then she went home to rest. I guess I'm like my mom and a little bit like my dad. When I was young, I swore up and down I didn't want to be like them - but as I grew older, I was - and you know - it' s not so bad. They taught me the good in life and how to treat other people and how to love others and be giving. I taught my daughter those things too. Both my parents are gone now - but I am a little bit of both of them. I think they would be proud of me.

Answer 4

I already look and sound like my dear mum - god rest her soul - its kinda spooky! But It's an honour because my Mum was a diamond of a lady and she had so much love to give. Though she was quite naive - so thats definately not me!! My Dad? Well, he was a one-off for sure so I guess I'm like him too!! Lol!! I certainly have his temper when I'm riled!! All in all, they were wonderful people and anyone would be proud to have had them as parents.
God bless you Mum and Dad.

Answer 5

i hope no-one wants to be just like their parents personally. If our parents were so perfect, we wouldnt have so much hate, poverty, discrimination and other horrific ailments our parents and grand parents have allowed for hundreds of years. My mom is the closest thing to an angel and even she had her skeletons in her closet. Although i strive to be equal/better than her daily, her negatives are what i have corrected in my life to better my chances of my kiddos leading an even better life. My dad was never around so he is out of the equation. Everything i am i owe to my mom, however even at her best, she could have been better.

Answer 6

My daddy yes, was a wonderful man....accepted people for they were, and was liked by pretty much everyone, my mummy no....not that I don't love her, just that I don't want to be like her....to judgemental, always has to point out faults and flaws in everyone....she honestly lives to be miserable...gives me and my sisters a rough go to care for her as she gets older

Answer 7

I would be so pissed if I turnt out to be like either of my parents. My mother was a born victim and my father was a natural abuser.

Answer 8

If i had to chose one of them, it would be my father. He passed away when i was 4, so i don't remember much of him. But when i was 14, social services moved me into care away from my mother, so i suppose it's kinda obvious anyway!!

Answer 9

I would probably would not want to be like either of them. My father: Selfish and angry, my mother: Too easy to be screamed at, and does not make people respect her. I love them both, but I think I'll try to be better...

Answer 10

I could go word for word with what Danny N said.

My elder daughter has turned out to be just like me though.
Gorgeous,
Caring,
Natural mother,
Bad tempered,
Stubborn,
Loud,
lol

Answer 11

According to my mother, I'm juuust like my father. Well, good! He is a sweet, kind, loving, generous, laid back person who would never hurt another person. My mother claims that's not what she meant.
