[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 33965, member: 84"] I dunno if I agree or not. But your post got me to thinking. I look at my own family as well as my kids. And yes, I see what they're talking about. I do see this tendency. My brothers turned out to be very similar to my biodad. (not a good thing for them) This is odd as the younger one wasn't raised around him. Sis who is 5 yrs older than me is a carbon copy of our mother. (minus the mental illness) I take after the grandmother who raised me. I'm told all of the time I remind people of her. My handwriting is even close to hers. (I take this as a compliment) The sis I have left....hmmmmmm. Not after Mom. She is a wild card. My kids.... T is his Dad to a more severe degree in many areas, better in others. easy child I'm not so sure she takes after me. We do share interests. N is me all over again. I don't think it always has to be the parent the child takes after. I couldn't get more opposite than my mother. Yet on the same score, I'm very much like my grandmother. husband is like his dad in some things, but in others.....well, let's just say I WISH he was like his dad in those areas. lol I think this is the old Nature vs Nurture argument. As in any theory you will have those that don't fit the rule. [/QUOTE]
