Do you look like your mum or your dad?

July 3, 2009 12:38pm CST
Or both? Or neither? People ALWAYS tell me I look like my mum, which is fair enough, but a bit odd. My mum has pale skin,blonde hair, one blue eye and one green eye and I have dark (ish) skin, dark brown hair and brown eyes. Now my dad on the other haand, has dark skin dark hair and dark eyes, but no one EVER tells me I look like him! DO you look like your mum? You dad? Both? neither?

People tell me that I look like my father. Growing up I hated hearing that because our relationship was very strained, with me hating him at times. Now though I could care less. My sister looks more like my mom, and my brother, I couldn't tell you who he looked like.

Yes it did, luckily I don't hear that anymore though. I have a cousin and a sister who were born on the same day a year apart. My sister's older. Well people say they look alike, and I kind of did agree but really don't see it now. It's funny what people come up with!

We have both our parent's gene. So, it is the main factor which makes us look like our father or mother or both or non depending on the characteristics of combination of both the genes. So we either look like our parent or both or none. Most of my experience i found that boys look like mother and girls look like their father, but it is not true in all cases. In my case I look like my mother.

I look very much like my father. He's a bit dark and of medium build and so am, I. He has a big nose and large eyes and I do, too. I also have my father's personality but I do have my mother's lips. I think it doesn't really matter whether we look either like our father or mother. What matter the most is our love and attention. I believe that family is the most precious thing God has given us. Don't you agree?

I am a female, but other people says that i look like my dad, because we have the same complexion and characteristic to be strict and calm, but our hair is different because i have a long straight hair and he has a short curly hair and height also is such a far different.

Every single person that has ever meet my mom and I has always comented the same thing "you are exacly like your mom". There were times when I like people telling me that but that was when I was little now I don't like it at all. Don't get me wrong I love my mom but now I know that she has many flaus that I wish I would never have. I know that the fisical has nothing to do her flaus but when people tell me that I am exacly like her they first things that pop into my mind are her flaus as a mother. But yes I do look like her when she was yung not exacly I think but maybe a little bit more than what I want.

Many people say I look like my father and my mother too, so it's a mixed of 50/50. My thick brown hair, eyelashes long and curl, my nose look like my father, and on the other hand, my lips and forehead same as my mother. But in totality I'm a mixed from Pa and Ma. And I'm happy to be. I'm the eldest and maybe it's the reason why. It's 50/50 of Pa and Ma.
