I ask myself if we are what our parents was time ago.
Do you think that you are like your mother? or maybe like your father if you are man?
Do you like when peoples compare you with your parents?
I don t like when somebody want to see me as my mother was.
I am Unique, as my mother was too. And if she had some mistakes in the past, i must to be judge for shes mistakes? i don t think so,
Do you like when peoples want to see you as they saw your parents before?

my mother is my idol, i believe my mother is a wonderful person and is actually my best friend as well.
i agree that i an unique as is my mother but i find it a huge compliment when someone compares me to my mum.
i also believe we are so alike that we probably compare ourselves more than anyone else does.

I agree with what you said.
I don't want people see me as they saw my parents.
Personally I think I have more common with my father.
All like reading and gardening, not very social. Just like staying at home.
But I also have big difference with him. He wanted me staying in Beijing but I immigrated to the UK.
It made him a little down. However he at last forgived my decision.

If they see me in the good way and compare me to my parents then YES, I would love to see that. However, people make mistake and I dont blame anyone if they think I am the same like my parents... good or bad, I will accept all. I think I like my mom a little and my dad little. One that is like my mom is, I work hard and be a strong woman as she does. two that make me like my dad is, I am a very patient person and never involve in anything that cause problem, if so then I will find the solution for it. Because my dad is a very patient person and he always be there for everyone needs. I love my parents so much and I dont care what others think.... they are my hero, even they used to do bad thing or be someone hated, I still love them.

I am like my father people say. They say I look like him and behave like him. My sister is like my mom, my first younger bro is like my mom and the last one is like my dad. Yes, children do follow their parents attributes because obviously we inherit their genetic. Sometimes it's not true but there's always a big tendency to be like our parents.

I do not think that I am like my mother, not one bit, and I hate it to the core when people start to compare me to my parent.
Those people who do the comparing have got no idea at all just how irritating it is!!

It does annoy me, if and when people tell that I act like my mom. Because I'm not my mom, just like I'm not my dad. Although I have half of their genes, it doesn't mean that I am them. I don't really like people to see me as just my parents' daughter, and expect me to have the same type of life as they have had. Because the truth of the matter is, despite the fact that I am my parents' daughter, I am my own person, I have my own life. I want to live my life the way I want to live it. I don't like people judging me, based on what they know of my parents.

I hate it when people compare me with what my parents did before. Hello we all have different lives no matter how similar our faces may look like. Even twins have separate and different life history. I hate it when people compare me with my parents when it comes to good or bad deeds. I like it when they see us in different ways. I would rather accept that I am worst than them than saying that I am like them when it comes to deciding in life matters. I had a family at age of 22, I am very much happy with my baby and husband at this time. My mom gave birth of me at age 19 and she was so young never graduated in college. I finished college with flying colors so how could other people say that we are the same? I always insist we are different. They say that she is more persistent in working for a living and I agree with that. But never ever say we are the same or I will follow her foot steps because I won't. Even my father. I just got his height but we always have conflicting principles because we always argue when it comes to the way we manage our own lives.

I'm like both parents. I am on time for all appointments like my dad. I'm a pack rat like my mom and can remember family birthdays and Anniversary's just like my mom! I have a temper like my dad and and love to read like my dad. I'm proud to be like my parents in most of the ways I'm! The rest of me is just me! I have struggled for years to be just me and I'm pretty much were I want to be finally!

I am no where near like my parents. People usually say I resemble my dad physically but I do not agree at all. My dad is one person who always puts himself first before his family. He's the sort of guy who only needs family when things go wrong but when everything is happy land for him he forgets his family. My mum on the other hand is a dependant woman who relies on everybody to do things for her. Now take these two genes mix 'em up and result is me. I am very independant, put other people first before me and I will always work hard to get what I want.
So to answer your question.. I am not like my mum and dad and I wiill never be like them. They lived a life of struggles and mishaps but me I live a life of freedom and I get to do what I want to do and dont need my parents in the area of looking after myself.. I have not made the same mistakes my parents have and I'm proud that I never and will never end up being like them.. I am a unique individual, who has the capabilities of perfecting her life for the better.

people say that, I act like in my father. He is very caring and give me all the things before i go and ask him. he is such a loving person in my world where i found no other person showing that much love and care on me. i am very much thankful to god for giving me such a lovable dad.
