are we destined to become our parents?

Miss Baby Bones · are we destined to become our parents?

today i realised that i have grown into my mother! argh!

i knew i was turning into my mum, but for chris to mention it today has got me all worried!

and hes worried about being his dad, altho too late for that methinks!

i like his dad tho.

so is it best to meet the parents early on in the relationship to determine if we can live with that person?

as chris says, when he looks at me standing with my mum and gran its like looking at 3 stages of me.

cheers chris. lol

oh god is there any way we can change things?

in my case, its more of a lacking the 'think before you speak' gene

lol my mum is tiny only about 5 foot with white hair proper round with huge knockers she looks like a proper granny now. She looks really sweet but she can really spit feathers when she wants to and also has no tact I have both of those traits to lol
Sadly my knockers are not as big

It has to be genetic, too. Not to put a downer on this thread, but you have to understand this part to understand the next part. My parents split when I was 4. My dad visited on the weekends til I was 14 and then he moved out of town for a really great job. I've seen him about 10 times since I was 14.

Anyway... my point is that I haven't really seen a LOT of him in my life. Despite that, I act almost exactly like him in a lot of ways. He's a bit refined and stuffy, but when it comes to our voices, the way we talk sternly to people, our grasp of the English language and talent for wordplay, and a love of entertaining people, we're exactly alike. Sometimes I'll say something and I'll mutter to myself "Shut up, Mike!" haha. I don't call my dad Mike but I do call my dad half Mike.

I was raised by my mom and I act a lot like her at times, too. I definitely got the smart ass part of her personality. You put these two parts of me together and you get me. Not everyone likes it. haha.

Okay that gives me mad, kind stubborn, forgetful, argumentative, good business head, loving and gentle form my mum. Stubborn, argumentative, good business man, passionate, bad tempered and a total showman from my day.
Yip that sounds like me there are a few that I have not mentioned that I know I have inherited that are constant battle to hold back.

There are definitely some similarities between me and my mum (and me and my dad) but I figure this si bound to happen when you spend so much time around them, especially as you are developing your own personality.

KatyKamikaze

i have the indecisiveness, bad financial management, romantic traits, sponteniety, carelessness and loving nature of my fater and hopefully nothing of my mother.. actually i think im quite erratic in my mood like my mother and overeact like her too

My Mum is great with money; she works with the accounts & wages of my Dad's business. I'm rubbish with money; got myself into a whole lot of debt by being stupid. Rolling Eyes

My Dad is quite docile and doesn't get angry very easily. I have only really see him get angry once when we were young. My Mum was the disciplinarian who would do the smacking, dish out the "pants down over the knees job" Laughing

(never did us any harm I hasten to add).

I think I am more like my mum than my Dad. I have my Mum's temper. I have my Mum's intelligence as she was more academic, whereas my Dad and my brother are both good with their hands - they are both mechanics. My brother has taken bikes & engines apart and put them back together since he was about 6. I'm rubbish with things like that cos I'm really clumsy.

Miss Baby Bones

lol i dont mind inheriting stuff from my parents, but all the embarrassing bits altogether?

sob sob, surely there must be a way?!

CrimbleFairy

I've got the bad bits of both my parents! I look like my Dad but have turned into my Mum and there's a bit of someone else mixed in but I don't know who!!!

I'm afraid there's no hope for you Miss Bones!!!

Katrina Orchid

I think I developed a love for business from my dad and my love for all things beautiful from my mum and the love for food from them both.. Baby Bones I don't think you are going to run away from your mother's traits.

Miss Baby Bones

which is apparently putting my foot in it all the time. lol

luckily i can make a joke of it with chris, cos if its not me doing it, its certainly him!! lol

For those of you out there with divorced parents, isn't it weird that you are like both your parents, and they are so different and divorced?! Creates a bit of craziness in my head sometimes.
Like having angel/devils only mum/dad!!

Warren

I was breast fed by my dad.

My Nana taught me how to knit wellies.

And my mum kept me locked in a shed.

I think i've turned out quite normal tho, dont ya think ....

I have moments where I think I sound like my mum, in my voice and the things we both say even down to my hand writing when I am rushing it.

As for looks I am a complete split of both my parents, I have my mums thick hair and am turning grey at 21 just like my dad, he was completly grey by 30. I have my mums cheeks my dads eyes and, my nose.... The bottom is like my mums and I have a small bump like my dad.

It scares me to think that I am turning out like my mum but I even have some of her old clothes, she wears a lot of vintage dresses and hats and some are too small so I end up with them so its not all bad Smile
