My father was an easygoing man, while my mom always made sure nothing was waisted. I think I am like my dad alot, but also learned from my mom about saving money. I miss them both so much.

Started smoking as a result of my mothers smoking although i can't blame her entirely , i do have free will my dad did not smoke my other siblings smoked for a while, we all since quit I also learned about the love of Christ from my dad so did my entire family as well..GOD bless them both..

Two of my three step-fathers were truly good men. Men with character and morals. I grew to love them both equally. My mother was an overbearing woman who was incapable of compromise and unable to show any emotion, towards me in particular. She treated money as if it were a religion. I had absolutely no respect for money for a very long time. I swore that I would never be that same kind of person. I make it a point to tell my son and wife everyday that I love them. I love saying it and love hearing it said to me. I'm still somewhat reckless with money though.

All three step-fathers have passed, and my mother is now in the last stages of Alzheimer's. She no longer knows who I am. If only I could tell her I love her, one time.

I'd like to think I got some common sense from the man who raised me...........

Father - stubbornest: Mother - character:

I was lucky, i didn't become an alcoholic like my father, but unfortunately my brother did.

Impatience and honesty.

I don't look like either one of my parents and so I have always said that I was switched at birth.  I am not one spit like my father.  I have a whacky sense of humor like my mother and the power of ESP! 

I am actually more like my two aunts.  They could have been my sisters.

I knew my parents love for me and I love them. Dad was a master tool and die maker before he became a baptist preacher. I am most like my dad. Mom was a pretty good cook and household mom. She is talented and from a medical background. My grand dad was a carpenter, built cabinets and furniture and retired  from a ship yard where carpentry work was required throughout the interior of ships, he saw the transition from wooden ships to metal ships, dad from metal ships to aircraft carriers and submarines, and my uncles from wooden and fabric airplanes to rocket propelled space ships. I worked in electronics, theoretical physics, engineering, early computer programming and digital communications before abruptly retiring at the age of 26 to work on my own…best choice I ever made.      

From both parents hard working and being reliable; hot temper from my much beloved and missed Mom...

To be conservative with my resources, money. They voted for obama too.  Not me.

the love of animals from my Mother and work from my Father

Welcome back, mel. :)

I left home at age 13...my mother had issues as I reminded her of my father (they were divorced) whom I do emulate to some degree...his sense of humor...his gnosticism compiled with healthy skepticism...I gained his knowledge of the bush and surviving in it...listening ability...open mindedness..to play guitar and be a pro-musician...and from mother learned a long time ago to never,never lay hurtful hands on your children lest they leave home permanently.I am my fathers' daughter.

Hair colour, Attitude, Eye colour, Build, Brains, Free me come on and free me.....free me from your spell............what was the question?

my father's bad temper. But time and life has taught me to quite myself down and think,think,think before launching into orbit. Because words do hurt.

From my Dad - a thirst for knowledge. From my Mom - how to stretch a nickle until the buffalo screams. I miss them so much.

Worry,I get that from my mom...I worry about everything under the sun and I hate it,but then again I can't stop,sure wish I COULD...

With my sense of humour Im definitely my Dads daughter,in most ways Im a lot like him.As is my son.My Mam was a highly intelligent woman ,i unfortunately dont take after her!I once read that the first child takes after its Mother,each child after that is more and more like their Dad,think thers a lot of truth in that

what do you mean?
