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

[dustybiker]

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.

[HighValue]

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]

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

[Blackcupcake]

I took a screenshot of this as proof for every time you tell me you’re not stubborn hahaha

[NathanDavis]

@Blackcupcake

[NathanDavis]

I'm not stubborn...

[Msputiton]

He's so stubborn about his stubbornness

[NathanDavis]

I'm strong-headed... persistent

[Blackcupcake]

@msputiton you’re brick headed…

[Blackcupcake]

wrong tag!!!

[Blackcupcake]

I meant @NathanDavis

[Blackcupcake]

@msputiton he’s stubborn about literally everything😑

[NathanDavis]

what a bully...

[Blackcupcake]

@NathanDavis is also stubborn about not admitting the fact that he’s the biggest bully on GaG, and he keeps bullying me and then calling me a bully to keep his reputation clean😑

[WonderBell99]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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. :)

[Msputiton]

Which one is funny. Because some of your comments make me laugh

[Sour-rose]

I gotta say both? Dad makes me laugh sometimes, while my mom makes me laugh... because of some stupid shi she believes that she would believe because where she is now.

[Alcoholic_Wannabe]

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.

[Pink2000]

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

[Msputiton]

So your parents are an example of opposites attract

[Pink2000]

Most definitely. My dad is quiet and reserved. My mom is loud and obnoxious.

[Msputiton]

Lmao. Flip personalities and you got my parents.
My poppa is loud and obnoxious and my mom is laid back.
He drives her crazy🥴

[Twalli]

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]

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]

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

[AssholeNumberOne]

Good answer.

[JustinXWK]

@AssholeNumberOne
Thanks

[BlueScorpio]

My dad, he was very gentle kind man. He stuck to himself and his family, definitely preferred to stay home more but he did go out with my mom from time to time.

[humanearth]

My mom, but have my dads stubbornness and being dullheaded

[Msputiton]

Lmao

[humanearth]

My mom was the easy going laid back, everything just rolled off her back like water

My dad was the asshole. Very stubborn like a mule

[Msputiton]

Do you not get along wit your dad?
Or is that just you being colorful

[humanearth]

My dad was a wife beater and child molester

[Msputiton]

Oh. I'm sorry

[Zolly99999]

Definitely my father !! I love my mom but she is a bit weird lol

[Msputiton]

Lmao

[mandyfire98]

I always thought I took after my dad more but the older I get I find out I'm more like my mom then I realized.

[Bethany22]

I take after the parent that raised me. It's literally impossible to be like someone who is never around, except for mere coincidence

[SEL195]

I think i do not take after either. Our personalities are way different. But my brothers are versions of my father

[Sonorous]

Definitely my mother. But my biological father & I apparently have similar mannerisms even though we're never met.

[petitedollbabee]

My mother. I have her sense of humour, morals, and I look like her, while I also have my dads interests and one of his talents.

[Anonymous]

i for sure know i get my anxiety/outbursts/can't do anything under pressure from my mom and it really sucks... thanks

but in other aspects i can be quiet, logical, and keep to myself like my dad. which is a peaceful trait to have

[midnightmoon05]

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
