my parents are extremely religious so I would say I'm not like them at all in that aspect, I do tend to have some habits and mannerisms that I've picked up from them over the years tho
 
I'm more like my dad. I can actually spell, a huge nerd, make jokes out of things, love 'childish things', and other things like him. The only thing I feel I have of my mom is that I procrastinate a lot and i'm right-handed. Also the fact that I look more like her.
 
I don't think I'm like either. Although I did get my crippling anxiety and depression from my mom and dad. My dad is not in the picture so I would never want to act like him at all, actually sworn to never act like him. Though I love my mom I would say I don't act like her very much. I was always the out of place one from my family, just kinda did my own thing tbh
 
I look like my biological dad, but I act like my mom. 😆 Although my mom and I do have some physical similarities, but I eerily resemble my dad and grandmother.
 
I am definitely my mother’s daughter. She has this attitude that she would rather do things herself (wash dishes, grocery shopping, etc) instead of letting others do things for her cause she needs it to be done a certain way and nobody can do it the way she wants or needs it to be done so she just takes over. I never understood her way of thinking before but now that I’m older I am turning into exactly that part of her. Also look wise, I definitely look more like her than my father. I don’t talk to my father and he wasn’t around when I was growing up so I don’t really know much about him personality wise to be able to compare to me. I will say the only thing I know for sure I got from him are my dimples (cause my mom definitely doesn’t have dimples) and the way I eat sometimes with one leg propped up.
 
My family and I always tease about it, but my parents and I always say that I'm practically the girl version of my dad. I looked like him and love the same things like him. Sometimes I even copy what he does. Though I will say I do have a bit of my mom in me, but definitely more of my dad.
 
I'm not sure if I got these traits from them but I'm sometimes shy with people that I don't know that which was what my dad was like but he overcame that long before I was born so he's not like that now. And I can be a bit unhinged, paranoid, and emotional and my mom was kind of like that.
 
I think I have quite a good balance. On one hand, my mother was more or less a gold-digger who had a fine taste for the luxurious and the perfect, meanwhile my father could be quite happy sleeping on the floor and having next to no personal belongings or possessions. This extreme contrast kinda passed down to me in a convenient way, in the sense that I can appreciate the finer things in life and maybe strive for them, but don’t necessarily need them, and I’m able to see beyond that superficial layer of desire. So, I’m happy with that.
 
I have definitely picked up some traits from my parents such as good problem solving skills. But in a lot of ways I don't even know my parents to know what similarities I may or may not have. I was never close with them growing up and I feel like they didn't really talk much about themselves like their personal lives or their pasts.
 
In a grand scheme I would say no.

My parents are homophobic, prejudice/racist/xenophobic, conservative christian, alcoholic/substance abuse, unhealthy boundaries, emotionally abusive/neglectful, so forth...

I'm a disappointment to them because my sexuality is not strictly heterosexual (pan/demisexual), married outside of race/culture/their religion, believe a different religion, practice different customs, believe in practicing healthy boundaries, and ultimately went no contact to no longer be in the abusive/toxic situation it was. I can also say I don't abuse substances/haven't drank in over 2 years (even then maybe a rarely once every 3 months lol). I'd safely say I wouldn't put any future children through the situations I was put in as a minor.

In a small scheme, we all care about animals, enjoy musicals/old movies, and some of the same music...so there's that I suppose.

I'm good with numbers and can have a temper like my father, but vibe well with people and can be a bit of a smartass like my mom. I don't have many similarities beyond that which I see as a good thing since neither are people I have a ton of respect for, unfortunately!
 
In all honesty, I think I have traits from both, however, if I ever end up like my mum, then that’s it. I definitely get my stubborness from my dad, as once he’s got a bee in his bonnet about something, he doesn’t let it go, but I have my mum’s sweet tooth, only multiplied. People say I look more like my dad, but when I went to a funeral on my mum’s side of the family, no one knew who I was, till my dad said I was my mum’s daughter, and then it was ‘oh, I see it now, yeah!!’ Looking at photos of her though, I do think I look more like her than my dad, so :L
 
I'm like my mom and dad for a lot of reasons. I'm very loud around people I care about and I talk with my hands. I also love reading books and am good at understanding stories because my mother is an English major! I'm like my dad because I show people I love them through acts and good deeds, and I am pretty levelheaded but can lose my temper if I get too worked up. I also make really dumb jokes and get sad when no one laughs like my dad, which is just funny. I guess I take after my parent a lot, but I'm also very much my own person. I have a lot of weird qualities that are allll my own!
