With your personality, do you think you take after your mom or dad more?

Question

dustybiker · Accepted Answer

My mother, again, thank goodness. lol She was a rockstar. Would talk to and tease anyone. Didn’t matter if they were in a mood to begin with, they were smiling when she walked away from a convo.

One man (fellow customer) actually pulled me aside after she cheered him up (store employees had been openly rude to him - I was only a teen) and he told me I had an amazing mother.

My Aunt and Uncle (her brother) had been visiting from England. The man hadn’t know we were together, too. They overheard. Her brother looked at my mum so proudly. One of the first times I started seeing little slivers of my mum in me when I said or did something. She was a natural though.

I don't get along with either one of my parents but I guess, I'm stead fast and loyal and my dad is stubborn so we parallel each other in that way. My mom is nice to strangers but rude to people in her inner circle and I tend to be trusting and give people the benefit of the doubt and treat people at all levels and cultures with respect and consideration so I kind of amplify my mom's kindness to strangers but being more kind and more welcoming than her.

I don't know. I am similar to both in different ways, but in other ways I am different from both of them too.

Similar: I work hard, am intelligent, can repair things around the house, like pets, don't care about impressing people with material things.

Different: I don't smoke.

Different from mother: Not nosey to look through people's stuff.

Different from father: Don't drink alcohol, don't feel sorry/sympathetic for others when their own bad decisions led to their current situation.

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

hmmm, I did take (or resemble) a few things about both of them... and some of those things I see them in both, lol

I think it would be around 50/50... but I will say this, the stubbornness was from my mother... lmfao, that's for sure

WonderBell99 · Answer

Probably a mix. I got the worst of both worlds.

I'm a very private person and so is my father. My mother, on the other hand, is rather emotional and hot headed.. so am I. I'm far from calm under pressure. My mom also gets insecure often, same with me.

As for the curiosity, I got that from my father.

Sarahr123 · Answer

With personality I have a bit of both and then some things are my own. I have courage of conviction which is my own, I have hard workingness from both, I have stubbornness from my dad. I probably have more traits that I am forgetting but these are things I get called out on a lot.

ohsheeT · Answer

I've only met my real dad a couple times and it was strange because not knowing each other all these years we have the same laugh we have the same sense of humor we even have the same facial expressions so that kind of tripped me out after all these years and not knowing each other and we are so much alike so I would have to say him

Rosexøxø · Answer

Both. My mom's aggression, and compassion.

My dad's calmness, and open-mindedness.

My mom's cynicism/ need for justice.

My dad's well-rounded common sense/ trust and reasonability.

My mom's go-getter attitude, and my dad's hard work ethic.

Really great combination. They went head to head a lot, but that allowed me to balance both in my hands.

Grateful.

Sour-rose · Answer

Dad. He's more of worshipping the lord and everything about it. No swearin' no being mean, just christianly. So with him 70% and my mom... I don't know if there is a percentage. :)

Pink2000 · Answer

I definitely have my dads personality. Laid back and quiet. Really soft voice. My mom is loud, talks to everyone, outspoken, outgoing , very friendly.

Alcoholic_Wannabe · Answer

Let's see.

I have my mother's Openness to Experience (High).

My Conscientiousness (Low-Mid), Extroversion (Low) and Agreeableness (VERY Low) come from my father.

And my Neuroticism (High) comes from my mother.

So I lean slightly towards my father.

Twalli · Answer

Probably dad in personality, but mom in interests. My sister is the opposite. She's far more like my mom in personality, but has similar interests with my dad. I mean we all love baseball, but my dad and sister hate fantasy, while my mom and I love it.

wheresmrcunnunglis · Answer

Their anger and coldness. Unfortunately. This is why I do my best to put as much positivity in my life as possible while understanding that negative emotions are just as important to display. Just have to have a balance.

JustinXWK · Answer

Even though my mom raised my from a baby after she and my dad divorced before I was born, I have responsibility from my mom but the core values of mind discipline of my dad. My personality is fun eccentric though which neither of my parents are because my dads a 24/7 womanizer socialite who can’t stay home and my moms too aggressive on her opinions on people and society in general

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Combinations of both. Also my own. As I get older, I developed more of my own. I don’t like some of my parents personalities

AviatorTom · Answer

I take more after my dad... level-headed, rarely blew up or got angry, in contrast to my mother who was often extremely emotional.

KAT247 · Answer

I take after dad more. I have a lot in common with mom, but my mannerisms and the way I talk is probably more similar to dad.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

More of my mom.

From my dad I get my laid back approach to life of not giving a damn.

From my mom I get my excitement and pleasant social personality in meeting new people, and rebellion mixed in and other little small stuff.

douride2 · Answer

I have always thought I was more like my father. Sadly the older I get the more like my mother I become.

jayplays99 · Answer

Instinctively, my father. I have his ADHD, OCD, and have his emotionally features. Physically and throughout my recent growth into an adult, definitely my mother, who has explained life to me through a more "street smarts" way.

Pinay_ako · Answer

Nah both my parents are gentle and kind. And have lots of patience. 🤣 me on the other hand 😑

worldscolide · Answer

Hopefully neither. My mom was bpd and npd.. And I never met my dad.

Heolurt · Answer

My parents were assholes and I don't like being mean at all so definitely didn't get my personality from either of them.
