Are your children like you?

i have 3 kids, one girl the eldest and two boys. i think only the young boy seems to be acting like me, he's only 2 years old and he has my habit about this finger nails and toe nails thing. whenever he goes to sleep, he would put his hands and feet under whatever is beyond his reach to flatten it, so like me... lol. my daughter although we have the same physical appearance, the hands, body built, head, fingers, etc... is not quite like me at all, in fact she's the opposite, very outspoken compared to me, so shy when i was her age. my second son is somewhat like me when it comes to learning... i hate to write lectures at school and so does he, but when it comes to examination my scores are high, the same with him... i never study at home, but i listen to discussions at school, that is what his teacher also told me, complaining that my son never writes lectures even if he was told to do so, but is fairing well with his grades, because his exams, quizzes are good. i have heard it said to my mom before when i was that age... lol

i have a nearly 11-years-old boy.From him,I hardly see the shadow I was young,he likes his father.Many times,I have only looked at him quietly when he was playing games so as to observe his every move.Sometimes,I found that children's words and deeds are the education of adults.

my oldest son is not like me at all, my youngest is alot like me. i also see myself in my grandson because he is just like his dad. i'm not saying it's a good thing, lol but that's the way it is.

My son is a clown, just like I was when I was little. He laughs a lot. I think that's something adults forget to do as they get older. He is a good reminder for me to not take things so seriously. He also likes some of the same toys that I did when I was little. He enjoys playing with legos. Those are still around, and are still expensive.

My did all the same things I did, liked all the same things I did, hated all the same things I did, and made all the same mistakes (no matter how much I tried to tell them different)that I did. My mom said it was like seeing the male version of me growing up. It use to freak them out when I knew what they did, what they were going to do, or what they were thinking, but that made no difference when I would try to help them not make the same stupid mistakes I made. They are just as hard headed as I am, they have to learn everything on their own the hard way....lol

I have two boyz. Now only 4 and 1, but already you can see that my 4 year old is more like me and my 1 year old is like my husband. Both in personallity and looks.

I have two kids, one is 1 years old and one is almost 5 years old. The 5 years old is very good kid but sometimes, she just totally weird and annoying. Yes, Stubborn as well. But She listens to me most of the time... She is a good kid to me. Everytime, she wants to do something then she will ask for permission. but when it comes to my a little... she is just mean to her sister... I dont think kids can judge who should she/he be with right now, I think they just need your attention. Once they are not happy, doesn't matter what you do... it won't work.

My boys are a lot like me when I was there age. They are hard-headed, stubborn, idealistic and have to learn things the hard way because they know more than anyone else! They are 20 and 21 now and I hope they grow out of it sooner than I did!

To a certain extent yes they are. I would start worrying if they have completely different attitudes and behaviour. For example my second daughter inherits my psychotic trait when driving a car. So at times she drives aggressively, and fortunately not dangerously. In short they do remind me of what I am. all the best, rosdimy

My daughter is a lot like me in the way she thinks. She is very compassionate like I was and also sensitive to getting her feeling hurt....like me. She is very loyal to her friends and always trying to help them when she can but she can be shy, especially when there are a lot of people around, even if she knows them. I was the same way. It amazes me to see her act so mcuh like me. I can slo see her father in her. He is very dramatic and afraid of doctors and dentists. I never had any fears like that, but my daughter is just like him in that way. Also she has a stubborn streak that I never had but it comes from her father's side of the family.

Kelly- Oh most definately! My oldest is a carbon copy of me. She's now 17, and speaks in the same fashion I do, and as much as she tries not to be like me, her temperate is exactly like mine. The two from my current marriage tend to be more like their dad. They are very much the perfectionist, and things have to go just right or they get upset. Of course, they're Leo's too lol. My second oldest from my first marriage is interested in magick, etc and has those traits from me. Namaste-Anora

whenever my toddler would talk i would be reminded not just of my voice and intonation but that of his grandmother's. he also got my accent. i don't know how to say it but people in batangas have a different accent. mine is stronger than the others. funny thing is when i speak in english, especially when i was a disc jockey, people would think they're listening to a national radio station. my son got my batangeno accent and intonation and my american accent and intonation also.

I am not married so there is nothing about my children, but I observed that in many children who got some good things or bad things from their parents, not in all children but in some. they behave like their parents, But it is also affection of environment where they live.

i don't have one

hi bamakelly, my dear friend, i am having a baby girl . i looks i donno she looks like me or some one from the family but then too, at times when she sleeps or dresses, or sometimes, sometimes, but i donno finally she will be on me or not. in one thing i want her to be like me and that is in health care and fitness. i love to take care of my body and i use to be fitness freak which i cant say that i am today also because now i have to look after her also and baby sitting is in itself a hectic thing or tiring job. her habbits are like her father but not the looks.

My oldest daughter who is 5 reminds me of me in so many ways. She has my attitude, temper, the ambition to learn and explor, my looks and the way she is overall. She is the one that is my shadow and has to do every single thing I do. She repeats all of it! I dont mind but when I tell her sister something, she thinks it gives her the right to act just like mommy and tell her how it is. The only difference is she whines a lot more then I did when I was her age. Then again when I grew up, at 5 years old I was outside from 9am until dark. These days kids cant do that with out the proper supervision. My youngest is just like her father. Her looks, temper, attitude and the way she whines about everything. Her favorite thing to do is whine and cry. She will be 4 next week but no matter what I have tried, it's whinny attitude to TRY to get her way. Everything about her is just like her father.

I have 4 daughters and one son. They all have some similar personality traits that I have and many similar interests. It is amazing to me how some things that they excel at were things that I had an interest in. I didn't really push anything on them they just seemed to be born with certain tendancies. they are all very creative which they get from me. they have all chosen to use their gifts in different ways. my daughters have all had anxiety and depression issues which unfortunately they inherited from me. even though they all have similarities to me they are all quite different. I am constantly amazed at how each of them have taken their abilities and gone farther with them than I have. I always wanted them to realize their true self and embrace it and although it has taken me a long time to do that for myself, they have done it at an earlier age. just keep encouraging your child to be who he is meant to be. my parents didn't do that and it took me a long time to "find" myself. building on what comes natural to you can lead to a happier and more productive life.

Hello bamakelly, I have 1 son and he acts like t me in some ways, he is very mature for his age, he acts like a older man and that, is how I was when I was younger. I acted like a older women, my son is also very socialable, that is how I was and still is a an adult.
