I have two older brothers. My eldest brother is very much like my mum, patient, calm and laid back. Dark haired, hard working and not too virtically challenged. All his features are very much like my mum's side of the family. My other brother is the total opposite and is the exact of my father. Impatient, fiesty and always up for a challenge. Blonde, work has never been a struggle and short. I on the other hand am a mish mash of the two. I have many characters that resemble my mum nad her side and many of my dad's. My mum and I always joke saying that my poorer qualities come from dad's side for sure! Which side of your family do you resemble most and why?

I have no brothers or sisters my friend so I guess I am a mish mash of both my mother and father although truth be know 95% of me is my mum's side because I don't want to be anything like my father! I take after my mum in the sensitive factors as well as the vulnerable factor as well hence the bullying! However I am very practical and will lend my hand to anything like my mum, we are very resourceful, caring and I think the only thing I am of my father is stubborn, mind you I am Taurean so that doesn't help either! My dad loves football, I hate football with a passion, my dad is obese I am slim, my dad drinks heavily and smokes heavily, I don't drink or smoke! I am my mother's son alright, I sometimes wonder if I have got the right mother and the wrong father!

Hi there wolfie34 I am so glad that it does appear to be the good qualities of your mother you have. Both my parents will say that I am their mother's/father's child!! LOL Needless to say that my parents are no longer together!! My dad used to say that I was the milkman's because I have got blue eyes and no one else in my direct family has. Both of my grandad's had blue eyes so it is not a total mystery! lol Cheers wolfie

I don't really reflect either side Humbug. Although people do say that I look like my dad. But he's over 6' tall and I'm 5'8" on a good day! However, we have a similar sense of humour and interests. He's much more disciplined and intelligent than I am though. I have my mother's sense of the critical and her sarcasm on a bad day!! Overall though I'm me.

I have a lot of my Dad's qualities, temper, impatience, etc., but I look an awful lot like my Mom and her side of the family. I do see a little bit of my Dad in my features, just not as much as I see my Mom. As a matter of fact, a few years ago, I got my driver's license in the mail. There was some kind of note in the envelope, so I just tossed the license on the table to read the note. When I glanced down, my initial reaction to my picture was, "Why on earth would they send me my Mom's driver's license?"

Hi there thebohemianheart Wow that must have been a bit spooky! I look a lot like my dad but I have the same mentality as my mum. Sometimes I can stay calm about things like my mum and other times I just simple explode like my dad would, rarely though! Thanks for your response
