We all, siblings, nieces, nephews , grandchildren, great nieces , look alike . No matter whom we marry, our offspring look like they belong together. All through the maternal line I should add.

Me and DH are maths graduates of top uni but none of our kids are showing strong inclination. We are all truly different.

But my DH's grandfather and sister are extremely extrovert and SIL has now two completely socially fearless kids who can beam up at everyone with their smiles and conversations. It is cute.

ASD- DD1 is autistic and I'm sure DH and FIL are too.

Brains from us both 😄

Teen ds walks exactly like the df he has never met...

Stringervest · 30/08/2023 21:15

DD is my double in appearance and personality. I am dreading the teenage years and DH says he will be moving out!

I sometimes wonder, with DS, if they gave me the wrong one in the hospital as he's unlike anyone I ever met. But I'm bloody glad I got him!

Competivness from both of us with a love of sport.

Ds1 and dd2 both exhibit traits of hyperactivity like me. They never sit still and they look just like me.

Dd1 has got Dh's maths brain and has his colouring - you would never know she was my daughter. I'm 5ft 5 and fair with blue eyes whilst she's 5ft 9 with black hair and grey eyes.

Ds2 has Dh's social anxiety.

Vodka makes us angry so we can't drink it 🤷

HamishTheCamel · 30/08/2023 21:47

DC1 is just like DH in every way - physically and in personality.

Both DC have their dad's colouring but their body shape comes from my side of the family - his lot are short and stocky, mine are long and lean.

They get their brains from his side of the family - we're all bright enough on my side, but they're seriously clever. DS, but not DD, has got the charm that my side of the family has - we're very charismatic. DD has her dad's kind heart though.
