Which personality traits does your children take from you?

[WomenHour]

I would say stubborness mainly.

Stubbornness, bloody mindedness, scepticism, being too quick with the sarcasm...

But seriously on the more positive side, good listener, able to "walk in another persons shoes" (which took me a while to develop she's ahead of me there), able to laugh at herself.

Absolutely nothing!

She's loud, confident, extroverted and incredibly clever.

So proud of who she is, but can't believe she has come from me 😂.

Shit sleep 😩 Struggles to fall asleep, can wake in the night for hours at a time, wakes early. I wished so much he'd be like my husband who can fall asleep standing up.

Kindness, caring, friendly, extrovert, confident.
Also stubbornness and sweet tooth

Dd1 takes her argumentative side from mil.
Dd2 is chilled and takes that from dh.

Oldest child is a worrier and struggles to settle, but also naturally wants to help people and is sweet natured. He gets a strong leadership quality and short fuse from DH (DH has temper well under control, but was a trait when young).

Younger child takes introversion and strong sense of focus from me. He takes resilient nature from DH.

Short temper, argumentative, very empathetic. Sometimes too much. Both of them, but especially the eldest, and he often gets himself into trouble sticking up for people who don't or can't stick up for themselves.

The endless talking!

Balls, extroversion, ability to argue, intelligence, musical ability, gentleness, maths being her worst subject, laziness, sociability, good at English.

Eldest his work ethic and lack of tolerance for inefficiency.
Youngest his empathic nature and introversion.

Oh and wanderlust. Never wanting to be at home.

Ambition and caring.

Her untidiness!! My god, I dread the days when she’s a teenager and I can’t make tidying a game, the house is going to be a disaster.

Her humour and her stubbornness.

DD is hugely imaginative and lives in her own world. DS is melodramatic and a bit of a diva. These are things they definitely get from me!

Kind, empathetic, not a walk over, sceptic, active thinking, good listening, moody, stubborn, selfish, calm when needed, lazy, quick tempered, creative, the brains (and not in a brag way, in the daft things we come out with), smart, clumsiness, street smart, creative, musical, shit stirrers, sense of humour, hyperactiveness, anxiety, depression, sweet tooth, hard working, resilient, reliable, honest, opinionated and more!!

Have more than one dc, although most comes from one parent.

I've equipped my DC with ADHD + AS, which - they think - is quite enough.

Ds is funny, genuinely a wit which I chose to believe he gets from me. But he’s is logical and practical which he definitely doesn’t. When I see him refusing to be walked over or taken advantage of I genuinely wonder where he learned it, cause me and dh are basically doormats.
