Just a question out there. Do we all turn into our parents? In the last year I have noticed my husband is turning into his dad. I have known for sometime that I am like my mom in soooo many ways. I also find I am like my father. I have also noticed that we often recognize these traits or traits in others because they are often negative traits. I am stubborn like my father and start conversations halfway through like my mother. My husband on the other hand has become a complainer like his dad. I guess not really a complainer but more upset with stupidity. Do we inherit these traits at birth or do they slowly seep into us the older we get? I do noticed that have a lot of good qualities from my mom and dad which we usually don't talk about as much.
This blog is not to hurt anyones feelings or make people mad but to make them think. I do know that I have bad or negative traits that I am sure will be passed on to my kids. I can just see it now my daughters husband will look at her and say..... You are just like your mother... You never want to admit when you are wrong.... hehehehee. Yes this is one of my bad traits. Anyways... for all you married or people in relationships take a good look at the mom and dad on the other side... yes sometime you will noticed that your other half is becoming his or her parents.

Not only have I inherited my father's irritance of stupidity and short fuse, but I seem to be inheriting a lot of his physical side as well. Big bum, big belly, receding hair line. What next, a comb over and a moustache?
Seriously though, these are just habits. I beleive we have always had them, we just show them more in age or situation.
I agree though, we should talk more about the good habits we have inherited.
In regards to blogdog's comment, I think that if you choose to grow a moustache your wife would not like it. As for the rest I think she will except you with all of your traits no matter what they are.
You two should talk more at home.
BD I think the comb-over is a must at least for a pictorial reference or documentation or Halloween costume.
The good habits are not conversational like bad habits. When some one says "I have obtained family value from my parents" the response is "good" or "me too" where as if you say "I have obtained a bad temper from my parents" the response is limitless. First people try to figure out why or how then they try to fix it, which is followed by a defense and the back and forth can go on for more time creating a greater discussion. Theres more drama and action which satisfy human need to be put in our place. Flaws is naturally how we gage ourselves, if we are not as flawed as the next person then it must mean we are okay. We focus on flaws for personal improvement or excuses. Your parents being part of that is actually a small portion of the pie but you have known them the longest so their traits a) affect you more and b)are easier to spot and criticize.
On that note I to am so much like my old man it scares me.
I am similar to my husband's mom and he is very similar to my dad, at least in temperament.
