I’m like both my parents in a lot of ways, but I lean towards my mom in behavior. It just so happens that both my parents are fairly quiet intellectuals, so that’s going to drip down to us lol

Edit: I DO have a kawaii pet rock, tho:

I’m not like him at all.

Both of my parents had me when they were 16 years old. They were far to selfish and immature to even be the best parents they should have been. Now, as mother to 3 girls I can confidently say that they sucked as parents and still do. Maybe my father is a little better than my mother because he’s actually around and spends time with granddaughters but to be honest I wouldn’t like to be compared to my parents. But I like to think I took the two good traits of BOTH of them and I’m sure people who know me will agree... I’m goofy like my Dad and a smartass like my Mom :)

My mum says I'm so much like my dad sometimes. But then I also notice I share traits with both parents. Some good, some bad. I also have a 50/50 mix of physical features of my parents combined.
 
I'm not like any of them. But l might be like them in the future when in the 40s(My parents are not in their 40s though)
But my parents did say l'm like grandma because l'm crafty like her but l don't have the personality like her.
 
I've inherited my father's anger and my paternal grandmother's face so I feel bad for my mom. We don't have much in common besides general temperament (tendency to try to avoid conflict). I'm super liberal and LGBTQ+ though, while my parents/ both lineages are super christian and conservative.
 
Yeah, I’m sort of like my mother with her undiagnosed disorders and I’m sort of like my dad with his reliability.

I can see fragments of myself that were influenced/inherited by my parents, but I’m definitely different being both more liberal and LGBTQIA+
 
I sincerely hope that I am nothing like my dad. I don't think of him as a good parent or a good person. He's racist, sexist, overly conservative, not very intelligent, and mentally and borderline physically abusive.

On the other hand, I think I favor my mom quite a bit. Just some of the things we have in common:
- Physical Attributes. We're both tiny with brown hair and brown eyes.
- We both love animals.
- We both love to read.
- We both love mysteries and things related to the supernatural.
- We are both nervous and worry about everything.
- We are both prone to anxiety and depression.
- We both get addicted to things easily as a means of escaping reality.
- We both have poor self-esteem.
- We're both very quiet and shy, especially around strangers.
- Everybody says we're both very nice people.
 
Maybe a tiny bit, but really I'm not.
-My parents are smokers. I'm very against that.
-They also drink. I've chosen to not do that.
-I have anxiety, autism, and other things that they do not have.
-Most of my interests are not shared with them.

We do have some similarities like not caring about sports. Nobody in this house cares about sports lol
 
I’m a bit of both to be honest. I get my high positivity from my mom and my empathetic and caring side from my dad. However, there’s a lot of ways in which we differ as well, which I’m thankful for.
 
I'm a mix of both in terms of looks and personality. Same hair and face as my mum, but I've got eyes and freckles like my dad. I'm shorter than both of them though lol.
 
I don't really look like either of my parents. Personality wise, I am more like my mom. We are both more introverted and don't really care about what others think of us. As opposed to my dad who is extroverted, loves attention and parties. But I do have my dad's ADD and night owl tendencies.
 
I got my cautiousness (sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing) from my mom and my number smarts from my dad. Hopefully I didn't get anything else from either of them :p I'm definitely way less like my dad though considering I didn't grow up around him.
 
unfortunately, yes. i’m like both of them in a lot of ways but as i’ve painstakingly come to realize, i’m the most like my father. his worst traits are his temper and his impatience; for as long as i’ve been alive, my father has been a very angry man. he’s thrown tantrums over a justin bieber song coming on in the car and has referred to my mother as a “freaking female dog” i cringed while typing this but just,, substitute for the swear word variants for not handing him a pair of keys that were literally right in front of him. i think the worst thing about it, though, is how unpredictable his temper can be; he can be goofy and cracking jokes at 2pm but by 3, he’s slamming stuff around and picking fights. the most recent example of his impatience was 2 days ago; my mother is in the hospital and since he was the one to pick up the phone when she called, he got to talk to her first. when i finally had the phone and was talking to her, he was already holding his hand out for the phone back not even 2 minutes later. my father is entitled and cruel and unfortunately, i’ve inherited his worst traits. granted, unlike him, i’ve acknowledged that these traits aren’t okay and i’ve been doing the work to try and overcome them but man, it really sucks to have so much in common with him somedays lmao. i even look the most like him which is just,, not sexy 🥴

i think this turned into a rant lmao i’m sorry
 
I have a tiny bit of traits from both parents but overall much different from them.

I got my dads work hardness and inclination for rock music, and my moms nerves, like 'nervous' behavior but I don't do it in the same way she does. She's not a nervous person but I am. I don't really know how to explain it.

But other than not-phyical traits, I am very much different from them. My behavior and thought process is so much more different from them, it's a wonder where I got it from. Physically I've been told I look like my dad. I've also inherited his acne, but I got my eye colour, hair colour and my shortness from my mom.
