Family Things

[Eve]

What have you inherited from your parents, do you look alike, have certain similar features, picked up similar traits and personalities and such, have similar skills etc...

What are you determined not to do or be like that your parents were?

Do you look like your siblings or other family members? How alike are you and your siblings in both looks and personality?

[crete]

yes maybe the answer you are looking for its called genetic makeup.

[ummmm1]

I look like my mum but have my Dads eyes...I have my Mums build (luckily)

I will not gamble...thats it, other than that I couldnt fault them

I suppose we look similar but our personalities are very different.......im a lot softer and im a lot more shy than my sister

Hi Jenna,

I look like my Dad but i have Mum's smile, eyes and we sound very similar on the phone...although i am a bit more giggly!!

My brother and I aren't very alike but he is very like one of my cousins. We are both quite short tempered (we're Italian!!!!!!!!!!) but we both have big hearts and we look out for each other a lot.

My parents were, and still are, very protective of me especially and even at 29 i still have to tell them where i am going and who i am going out with. My dad tells us every day he loves us, simply because his parents werent the affectionate type when he was growing up. I hope I am just as affectionate with my children but I tell myself I wont be as strict, but you never know until you are in the situation.

there are 3 of us siblings and me and the middle brother look similar, most like our mum, the eldest brother is the image of my dad and getting more so as he gets older.

I am a lot like my Mum in nature too which i am happy about. My middle brother is more like my dad in his ways, We are all very different characters though thats a certain thing.

We all have different skills, however both my brothers are musical, as was my Mum, Dad and Grandma, The eldest one is the most musically and artistically talented and im not in the slightest, in fact, i am from a very musical family, but im the only one who didnt inherit it.

I think I look more like my mother and all of her side of the family think I look the spit of my maternal grandmother .
My dad's side of the family think I look more like them and tell me I'm the spit of "mad auntie Daphne" which is really reassuring!

On the physical front, my dad is 6'4" and my mum is 5' and I'm in the middle at 5'6". My mother has dark hair and my dad is mousy. Both have bluey grey eyes.
My sister and I are the same height but completely different in build and looks. I have brown hair brown eyes and she is blonde with blue eyes. She�s very sturdy (not fat at all though) whereas I have very slim arms and legs. Almost identical personalities so even though we're not physically alike people can always tell we're related. Mum, my sister and me all sound the same on the phone and it drives my dad mad.
We all wear spectacles.

I have my father's capacity for remembering umpteen useless facts and I have inherited his love of eating and cooking. I have my mother's evil temper, wit and inability to learn how to drive. We have never been an affectionate family. We don't kiss and cuddle or hug or say 'I love you' but we generally get on really well.

Jenna...I have my dads eyes and my mums ears...but the rest belongs to you

My brother and I look alike facially - we look like our father. I however have the build and temprement of my mothers sisters whilst my brother has inherited our fathers sporting ability. Weirdest of all is that my brothers writing is very like our fathers, but our father died when my brother was 3.

[noxlumos]

I'm almost the physical double of my father, thankfully there the similarity ends.

[curlylfim]

my mother's smile and ability to see good in everyone, also a little of her intelligence

my fathers ability to remember useless information, and his family blue eyes, blond curly hair and longevity genes

[curlylfim]

ps lucky i have not got my fathers families, taste for alcohol in huge quantites daily

Hi hun!

My brother and I have my dad's colouring; mid-brown hair and dark brown eyes. My sister has green eyes like my mum, and they're both a little, er, dippy (don't worry, it's a family joke!).

I have my dad's dark humour. We work together and spend most of the day in fits!

It's sort of a running joke within the family that the 'children' got thicker as they came along, LOL! My parents joke that they don't know where I came from as I'm too sensible and intelligent to be theirs. I was just sneakier growing up. ;o)

There's only 21 months between me and my little sister, sowe hated each other's guts a few years ago, but since she had my niece we're the bestest of friends. My little brother is 8 years younger than me, so we're very protective of him. He's brilliant! A lovely teenager and so, so funny!

My parents divorced when I was 13, but they're great mates and we all spend Christmas together with their new partners. We're all very close and tell each other "I love you" everyday.

Hope you're okay, sweetie. x

Hi CB xxx

[whiskeysheri]

Hey, honey! x x x :o))

I look nothing like my mum, and a little like my dad (face shape mainly). My mums friends often say how I'm quite like her in terms of personality - soft natured and thoughtful. I think my humour has come from my dad though.

Me and my two sisters are all very different to look at - I really don't think anyone could link us together just by looks. Actually we all have quite different personalities as well... hmm maybe I'll have to investigate to check we really are related...

[joby1]

me and my brother and half sister inherited my mums looks, unfortunately I inherited my Dads temper :-((

But, on the other hand my brother got my Mums haha :-))

[jump79]

I look more like my dad (the eyes) and people say one of my brothers resembles my mom (but he actually doesnt look like anyone) and the other one resembles me, therefore my dad (the eyes again).

I don't think I'm like my mom so much, she's very sensitive and emotional (and even cries over the news sometimes...?!) but she has a great memory and is a very chatty person (esp on the phone), unlike me.
Personality wise, I'm more like my dad, he's a bit of a worrier and a nail biter. Me, not so much now and I stopped biting my nails a while back.
Then again, he also likes golf and used to be a chain smoker, so I guess we're not completely alike either.
