Just got to thinking about this - do you resemble your dad or your mum more in terms of looks?
And in terms of character?
For me, I resemble my mum mostly in looks. It's quite scary how people have been telling me all my life how much I resemble my mum when she was young. makes me wonder how much I will resemble her when i grow old!
For one, I hope I don't put on so much weight. haha.
In terms of character I think I am also more like my mum, although I am closer to my dad. Cos i think he is easier to get along with.

Many people say I look more like my mum.
My character also more towards like my mum. Though I do show some of my father's trait from time to time.
I wouldn't know whether to take it as a compliment or otherwise.
Cos there is so much difference between me and them.
heh heh heh heh... really hard to tell for sure.

In my part I am in my Fathers shape of the face but I have my Mothers skin complexion and for the attitude I guess my Mother attribute more than my father because it is my Mother who brought us and my father just left for another happiness in life.......

All of my life everyone said I looked alot like my mom.....now that I am older they say...You look JUST like your mom! And I take that as a compliment! I am more like my dad though in personality....and have gotten my short stature from his side of the family!

i certainly resemble my mother. in fact, i resemble her so much her friends never fail to comment on it. it's scary how much we actually look alike. one day she went for a gathering with her friends and they gave her a photo taken when she was my age. when we looked at the photo, it's like seeing myself. 
as for character, i'm almost exactly like my father. we are both stubborn, wants to have the last say in everything and we both love sour food.

I look more like my dad and act more like my dad. The only trait I have of my moms is her eye color.

I resemble my dad's physical build more, skinny and short. Character and personality I think a bit more like my dad, not much but compares to my mom I think very little agreement between us. But both my parents are very loving and forgiving to us, I have no kids but I just don't think I can be such forgiving.

I resemble my Mom. I get told that I am the picture of her up and down. Also I have her same personality. She laughs a lot and likes to make people smile. I like to do the same thing. There is nothing that pleases me more than getting someone to smile. So I can't kick about being like my Mom. In fact I am proud of it.

I'm complete opposite from u.. I resemble my dad more than my mom, and even my characterisitc wise, i'm almost completely same like my father.. But however, i'm closer to my mom as compared to my father, because i only get to see him like 2-3 times a week.. lol =D
Every morning when he wakes up for work, i'm still sleeping, and during night time, it's either i'm asleep when he's back or he's sleeping when i come home.. lol

I guess I look like my mom because when my son saw an old picture of my mom he taught it was me! I actually find it funny because the picture was in black and white and the clothes... It was so retro. Hahaha. In terms of character. it's a combination from the both of them. But whenever my mom finds me annoying she would often tell me that I got it from my dad when in fact it was from her.
