If someone stated "U are just like your Mother/Father" would U be offended??

I wouldn't mind for the most part since my parents were always there and, while they never really had much money to get whatever I wanted, they got what I needed and made sure I was loved and taken care of. I haven't really gotten the comparison though, unless we're talking about if how many times I've gotten the "you look just like..." comparison.

I think it would depend on what characteristic they where comparing me to. I know growing up my mom would always tell me I was just like my father when I was arguing with her and my dad would say that I was like my mom when arguing. lol but I think I would be ok being compared to my parents. They weren't the best but they weren't the worst parents either.

hi bjc well if they com pared me to my mom I would be very proud as she was a loving,kind mom who put up with a sour, embittered man years older than she, and bore his hateful verbal abuse as she did not want to divorce. people did not divorce back then, If I was compared to my dad I would be so ashamed, and feel like running and hiding. He managed to sire two illegitimate womean who were about my same age without my mom ever knowing and he never helped the moms after that either. I have little respect for him now., Iound out a lot more than I ever wanted to know when doiung our family tree about my own father. I respect that he was my father but the rest just disgusts me no end,

I would not take offense to that statement. i am very proud of my mother and father. Being told that i was like them would be a compliment and not an insult. Now if the statement was made to be one of sarcasm i would just take it with a grain of salt and go on my way.

As mentioned, I think it depends on what attributes they are comparing you with, and to add it also depends on a given situation or the purpose of the remark. In my case I'm always being compared to being hard working like my parents ( nothing wrong with that) I don't think anybody would dare say something bad especially about my parents straight at my face, otherwise you'll be sooory

Ha, my mom is known for saying that I'm like my father alot. To me it can be a compliment at times but she usually uses the text in a negative way when she's trying to compare me with his negative qualities. I had brought this up with her and she never stops doing it. She will say well it's not always a bad thing, but her actions and words make it sound like it is. I just don't get her at times. She will rag on my dad for the silliest of things and then let my brother do whatever the heck he wants that is much worse. I'm so tired of people who like to compare you to negative things and rag on others in general. If it was in a more obvious complimentary way it wouldn't bother me so much, but this woman lives on negativity it seems.

Actually it would depend on how they meant it. I feel like both of my parents have/had both good and bad qualities. Mostly I would be flattered. Without them being the unique people they are I would not be who I am.

Hi Bj, I will be proud of because I know my parents are good and they never had a bad reputation in our place. But if they will compare me with bad comment with them I will be mad of them since I love my parents and they have no rights to tell something bad with my parents.

I get told all of the time that I am like my parents, but I don't see that as a bad thing at all. I have always admired my parents because they raised my brother and I very well indeed, and they were only relatively young when I was born. They have always been driven to succeed and have managed to do that most of the time, so if I am even just a little bit like them then I think that it would be a very good thing indeed. I get told that I am like my Mum because I am a little bit stubborn, but I even admire that because I would never give up on the things that I want from my life.

My parents are no more, they were extremely good people, equal to god for me, i really look like my father, when some one comes to our home and sees the picture of my late father on the wall, he thinks it is my picture!!! Best of luck. Professor

It would all depend on what part of my parents they are comparing me to. A lot of people say I'm like both of my parents some times more like my mom then my dad. Because I will say what ever it is on my mind and will stand up for myself like my mom would do. So that is a good thing. I never take any comparison a bad way it might annoy me here and there but over all its always good things.

I would love to be compared to my parents. It means people see my parents as successful in educating me. I can say I'm lucky to have parents like mine. They have always been there for me. I know there are times when I argue with them but who don't? But now I realize that they do it because they love me so much. And I have to accept the face the fact that no matter how old I am, I'll always be their little girl.

I wouldn't mind it at all. The person wouldn't know me or my parents very well in that case though because it's just not true. I'm completely different when it comes to the things that define us in life.

I don't like being compared to my mom we are nothing alike. My entire childhood she made misarable, I didnt like going to her house. She was abusive and when people say your like your mom it really bugs me becuase, Im not they dont know how my mom was abusive to me. She always made me tell people i fell or i hurt myslef playing a sport. However, now days we get along a little better she had another baby whos know 3 yrs old and Im just happy she doesnt treat her like she did me. shes not abusive anymore and she is a little nicer to me. And she treats my sister ok from what i see.

If someone said that I am just like my father I would probably be a little offended. He hasn't really made great efforts to be in my life or my sisters and I don't really want to be a parent like that once I have the blessing of having kids of my own. Also throughout my life I've seen him with a lot of women and sometimes I question whether he really knows what love is. However if someone said that I was like my mom I would be happy with that, throughout my life she has showed me an incredible amount of love and so much understanding that I feel that she helped to make me the loving individual and compassionate individual that I am today. She's an incredibly hard worker and I would also like to be known as that because I'm proud of the work I do and I hope to make her proud as well. So much of my efforts are to make her proud because she has done so much for me and I know it would make her happy to see me succeed.

That's hitting two birds with one stone. That statement is supposed to attack you but indirectly, the person is also attacking your mother. Why? What's wrong with your mother? Or is it the person who gave the statement who has the problem?

it depends n the situation- my parents have good and bad qualities.. So of curse- i'd be happy if they were referring to the good side- mom- always ding what is right whatever the cost, and dad-always being patient with mom..

People often say that I'm like my mother, and I'm glad they do that. My mother is a very kind and hard working person. She tried her best to raise me well, without the help of my father. If my father could have lived the life he wanted to, I would be proud of him too.

I would take it as a compliment. Because my mother was such a wonderful person who never talked any harsh words to anyone (except me and I know I really deserve it). She is so polite and loving. My father is man of great thoughts. He just introduced me to each aspect of life. He thought me everything and he is the every reason, what I am now. Not only me, he has inspired and helped many needy students. So I am just proud of them. And for those whose parents are unavailable, I would say still the same. There must be something, something really good about them. Something so warm about them. After all, we carry their genes. We must be like them in one way or other.

It depends on the subject. I mean, if they say I have my mother's eyes or my father's skin color, even if those weren't much of an asset, I still won't get offended, because there's really nothing much I can do with genes. Good thing, they got good ones, and I'm blessed to have inherited good genes from them. And, if they would say that about my attitude or personality, and it's somehow true - then, I should take it as a challenge to improve myself. It may hurt, but it should be an eyeopener, and I could be a better person if I want to.
