All joking aside, the good and bad, how much are you like your parents?
 
Mother:

I have trust issues as well as mental health issues.

Thought wise I take after her as she is one of the few people I have ever met that would admit she changed her mind on something.

Besides saying or doing something stupid/racist a few times towards the end she was the most openly social person I have met. She was open to being friendly with anyone. I am mostly the same, but I have no issue with being less friendly and I prefer only a few people in my circle.

Both of us are/were outspoken.

Both of us are/was pansexual.

Both of us were never much into drinking.

Both of us loved theater and other art things.

Both of us are/were avid readers.

Both of us loved cooking shows, but preferred versions with kid chefs.

My latent foodie came from her, though I was never brave as she could be trying new things.


Father: I don't know him well as he just found me again after 25 years. He is racist and homophobic because of his religion so I have chose not to talk to him much and he seems to be the same with me.


Sounds like he is loves to travel. I love to travel, but hate it when I am doing it usually.

Likes to work. I still miss working.

Some say I look a lot like my father, but I don't see it.



That is all I can think of as of now.
 
God forbid.

They liked animals, I can say that much, although they weren't always responsible pet owners.

A tendency towards drug abuse.

OCD and a nasty casserole of personality disorder traits.
 
Everything from dad (except heterosexuality, lol), nothing from mom.
 
I am a perfect amalgam of my parents and grandparents and my teachers.

I read that as 'anal gland' at first.

I'm a perfect amalgam of a reclusive alcoholic and an overloaded pressure cooker set on high and placed in a kiln.
 
The short version is that I'm very much like my father, except in appearance. Nonconformist, intellectually curious, adaptable, kind.

My mother is the opposite of those things generally, but I look and sound like her. (I'm female - cisgender lesbian-leaning bi). I worry when I see some of her traits creep into my behavior, enough that it's one of the reasons I never wanted children. I had a great childhood when I was not questioning the world so much. She was good with all the normal kid stuff, but the value she placed on being “normal” was a problem as I got older.

Common to both that I also do -- making things: sewing, carpentry, decorative and artistic stuff, etc. And we're all introverts to some degree.
 
You know the stereotypical obnoxious cheerleader/homecoming queen and jock everyone loves to hate - I was born to two of them.

BUT - they were EXCELLENT horrible warnings and I appreciate both of them for that wonderful gift.

I share some of their taste in art and quality workmanship - that's about it.
 
My dad i don't know.
Mum used to say i was the spitting image of her dad.

Can't say i'm much like my mum either, she was bi-polar for most of my childhood, mainly depressed with manic episodes every 3-4 years which lead to the nuthouse, glad i missed out on that likeness, finally got her on the right meds and she turned out to be a great mum and human being.
 
I take after my dad in most ways, looks, height, personality ect, have my moms dark hair and love of cooking (well, trying)
 
My birth mom is a train wreck. A true "useless eater"

My birth sister whom was taken from her as a baby and had no contact with her for 40 years turned out almost exactly like her.
My birth sisters daughters turned out like them both.

My birth father only knew me as a toddler and the last time I saw him he said "You are a character but I will never acknowledge you". His two kids appears to have turned out like they never amounted to anything.

The guy that is on my original birth certificate is actually the local drug dealer who would buy kids diapers and stuff but was unable to have kids himself.

I ended up getting honors in high school, graduating college and going to law school and am a "normal person".

Thank you all for your observations! Isn't being human interesting?

I wish I was more like my dad. I am in some small ways. But every dog and child loved my dad, and few dogs or kids like me. We both like newspapers and sports (but I got the hockey bug which he didn't - football and basketball he watched).

I'm a lot like my mom, a reader and kind.
 
My mom and I both deal/dealt with depression

I didnt want to be connected to my dad. I thought he was eccentric. I have his looks and I dont like to look in the mirror and see him. My therapist once said to me, "too bad you have your father's demeanor and not his good looks". She didnt stay my therapist much longer after that
