Sadly to say... I don't look like both of them. I don't know why. And it's not just my opinion. My relatives said that I don't look like either of them as well. Somehow, from afar, I do look like my mom a bit, providing I have short hair. But when you look closer, I don't resemble her at all.

Some people says that I look more like my mother and other say that I look more like my father. I can't see that. I don’t see any similarity to my mother or my father. But I also can’t see it in other people, so I guess this is a problem I have.

maybe you're a mixture of both.. and contextually think of the people saying who you look like.. it's either they're closer to the other and vice versa. or maybe you took after your grand folks.. genes are tricky that way.. hehehe! thanks for the reply!

I look like my dad. the only thing about me that I get from my mom is my hazel eyes and everything else I look like a female version of my dad. I even have the same wrinkle in my forhead when I squint my eyes just like he did. he had fat short fingers and I have the same. I even have the same size feet as he did and am the same height as he was. I was always proud that I looked like him because we were always really close.

Bilogy says that a child gets 50% of its genetic traits from its mother and the other 50% from the father. But we cant see what we have received from our father and from our mother at the genetic level. We can just trace what we can see physically or behaviourly! As for me, people say that I have got my facial looks from my mother while my body bulit up and personality is more like my father's. My complexion is much similar like my mother's, while I overall behave like my dad does! So, its really tough to decide who actually am I like. I think I look like both, with a slight inclination towards my mother!

Well my dad is tall, has thick hair, blue eyes, and has a dimple in his chin and so do I so I'd have to say I take after my dads side of the family. Everyone always comments on how much I look like my daddy which to me is a huge compliment.

hahahaha! well, yeah.. if you add your parents traits it would usually, somehow sum up to be you. there are just aspect that it's more of the mother or more of the father. in your case, physically daddy, but definitely other traits would be from your mom. thanks for the reply!

I don't look like my mother or father. My facial features are from my grandad from my fathers side. That's why some of my friends tease me that I'm not my parent's son. And, It doesn't bother me since I just love the physical features I have now because these feautures makes me unique from others. I may have a wider forehead, a long nose and curly hair, but in the end it's the thing that makes me the person I am.

I guess I think more like mom, but not sure. I do see things that I'm like my dad also. The more I get to know them the more I realize I'm like both of them.

i look almost exactly like my mom, but i have my dads dark complexion. when i meet people that my mom has previously met, people are shocked at how alike we look. we often get comments that we look almost like twins, except for our skin color. my mom had me when she was young, and she takes very good care of her skin, so she is very good looking for her age. she worries that i will get offended that people tell me i look like her, but no. i take it like a compliment. i have heard many times that my mom is so beatiful, so that makes me happy inside too. hehe.

I look more like my dad. My middle child looks exactly like me when I was his age, well, except he has blue eyes. My oldest and youngest look very similar and recently I have begun to notice that my oldest looks and acts eerily like my oldest nephew. Kind of weird how that works, considering that they have always said that my oldest newphew is like his mom, who isn't blood related to my son.
