Is it true? Have you become like your mother/father or are you starting to be like them?

Answer 1

I am NOTHING like my mother, and not much like my father, either.

To some extent, I think this was a conscious decision, as I saw her make her own life hard through the choices she made. I also consciously resisted her efforts to mold me into what she wanted me to be, because it felt as though she was trying to force self-destructive patterns into my behavior that I'd seen backfire on her a million times.

So yeah, it's possible to dodge a negative legacy from one or both of your parents, so long as you make a concerted effort to do so.

Answer 2

I am looking a little more like my mother. I have not really started to become like her though. My sister is like my mother and my brother is like my father. Maybe there is no one left for me to be like? LOL

Answer 3

I find myself saying certain things my parents say/have said. Some of us only inherit a little of our parents. On the other hand, if you were to see one of my sisters, you'd think she was my mother's twin! It's sick, really!

Answer 4

It's all true but with a different kind of twist, you make changes for the better!

Answer 5

I have my mothers figure, and I have caught myself using their parenting techniques with my kids.....they work.

Answer 6

i am alot like my daddy :P even though im a girl. we both love to dirtbike, we both have a good sense of humor (hes alot funnier than me though) i say alot of things he says and vice versa like 'THATS RI-ITE' in that silly tone of voice, we both like scary movies (he doesnt close his eyes for half the movie though) and we both like the same kind of music sort of :)

im not that much like my mom, she likes josh groban and michael buble. she always has her hair up, i always have mine down. i still love both of them with all my heart!
