My daughter - She's more like my SISTER than me!

My oldest son is a lot like me, I'm happy to say. Well, sad in a way because I've been used and abused way too much for any one person and I believe it's because I've always been so darned trusting! My son is just like that; however, he's learned a little younger than I did to be wary of people who seem to be too friendly. He wears his heart on his sleeve, just as I've always done. My youngest son, sadly, is so much like his father it's scary! Well, he HAS changed a bit, ever since I pointed that fact out to him. His father is a user and a taker. He's the kind who wants everything for nothing and always blames everyone else for all his problems. One of his former bosses once told me, "He acts as though the world owes him something." This was the most accurate statement I had ever heard about him. The sad part is, he's exactly the same way now as he was when we were married, back in the 80's! (We divorced in 1987.) Luckily, my youngest son is changing his ways. I think he's realized that he's screwed up his life about as much as anyone can and is trying now to rectify his life and change his ways. He's doing very well at it, too, except he's getting so frustrated because he can't find a job. It's the economy. I know for a fact that he's a very hard worker and puts his all into his work so I'm trying to keep him from getting discouraged and maybe turning into his father again. (His father, my ex, has made a life of finding gullible women who are willing to carry his butt, then he quits one job after another, getting out of as much work as he can until the women finally wake up and see what he's doing, then he's off looking for another gullible woman.)

I have no children but my mom said that I acted just like my maternal grandmom. I bever met her. But what we do have in common is our s birth sign. Do your daughter and sister share the same birth month?

I always wanted a girl, but it was not meant to be. My son is more different from me than the same, sometimes I wonder if it was I who raised him, he does not share my values and most of the time our ideologies clash.

my older daughter is like my hubby in some ways and like someone else (i am not even sure who!) she fights us in every way (it may be because she is a teenager), but our youngest is like me in many ways. this is not the first time that i have heard this, in fact, a friend of ours says the same thing about her daughter.

My daughter reminds me alot of my mother. She was very gifted and had alot of talent in sewing and crafts. My daughter is the same way. She has a bit of the personality traits of my mom as well. Sort of aloof but has a great sense of humor. Very giving and caring with family. She is a good person and just reminds me sometimes of my mom.

From the view of genetics, it is very possible for the similarity of your daughter and sister. But it's amazing, isn't it? So when your daughter grow up, maybe you two look like sisters than mom and daughter.

Yes, my first son takes after my Dad, and my second takes after my brother. I guess that's what comes of having two boys but I'm quite different to them although I can relate to them, if that makes sense. Brightest Blessings.

Britney Spears, heh... What do you think about the whole "Amy" thing? "If you seek Amy" = eff uuu cee... kay me... Good stuff for kids to be listening to, huh?

This is not about my son, but my sister's son. By nature, I am a compulsive reader. My sister and her husband watch TV but seldom read. Your older boy loves TV and video games, yet her younger son reads. We went to Niagara Falls about 6 or 7 years ago, and of course, I stopped to read all the signs with the historic information. Much to my surprise, this little guy who was about 8 at the time was standing there right next to me reading them too. He loves to read. Between Kindergarten and 1st grade he read the 1st Harry Potter book, mostly on his own. I started 1st grade on a 4th grade reading level. My son was 11 at a 1st grade reading levels. If my son and her son were not 11 years apart, I would say that the kids were switched at birth.

My daughter looks very much like her daddy. But according to him her manner is very much me. She does have a few mannerisms that remind me of my mother. But other than that not really. Perhaps her behavior will mellow as she comes into her own. If not when she has children of her own one may be a challenge. It does tend to work out that way! lolWe have the little of both variety.
