cos I swear, he was just cloned from DH.

he looks like him

walks like him

gestures like him

FARTS like him

there is nothing, at all, that is me in him.....NOTHING. (and after I gave birth to him, you would think some of me might have be inherited....)

go see my twins DH and DS2....now in my profile.

misty.....everyone says that about her actaully.

yesterday tho in fact, it was noticed that she even walks like me, so I guess she might be MY clone....((but that is only fair of course, seeing as I grew her))

Psychomum5 · 25/06/2008 21:28

My ds1 is a clone of his daddy. My ds2 is as much a clone of me as a little boy can be. Same eyes, double jointed thumbs and big toes, same floppy hair, pot belly, he looks JUST like I did at that age. Same shaped head as well.
So it doesn't have to be a dd to get a mini me.
Funny thing is as they are both close together in age but look nothing like each other, when one of us is out with both of them, sometimes people have assumed that we were out with our own child and his completely unrelated friend!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I am not the only person to spawn 'clones'....

SO glad

cali.....lol!

My friend has two clones of her dh.
She has a tiny photo of her ds1 in a huge frame, but if you take the frame off, he has long 70s hair, and is in fact her dh

The grandfather is identical (but older) too.

They also have none of her personality traits, either.

Psychomum5 · 25/06/2008 21:50

well.........DS2 does have parts of me, noticably my nattering tendencies.....

DH is strong silent type, I am not.

all the kiddies take after me

Holly does look like you, but I think Natasha looks very much like you. Megan definately is you personality/temperament wise

And really, did you think you could produce quiet children? It's never gonna happen

Mine change all of the time. DS1 is always told he is the image of his dad, and he is getting more like him, but a good friend once said he was a perfect mix of both of us. Lots of people think DS2 looks like DS1 but I can only see a brotherly likeness. DS3 is far more like DS1 was at 3. DS3 looks exactly like my sister did at 3 (look on my facebook pics) He even thinks pictures of her are him

Psychomum5 · 25/06/2008 22:04

squirdle, be glad I know you.....your post makes no sense otherwise, all DS1 this, DS2 that, DS3 the other, and back again.

((meant in the nicest possibe sense of course))

I know, well I was talking to you, so I knew you'd understand iyswim Just read my post and even I'm confused by it

Psychomum5 · 25/06/2008 22:16

I do, altho even I had to read thro a couple of times to get the gist of it!

allgonebellyup · 25/06/2008 22:20

megan is beautiful

Psychomum5 · 25/06/2008 22:21

we think so

altho, DH is worrying about boys now.....

Flibberty, that may change yet, you know. When I was little, I was the image of my mother and my sister of my father - there was no resemblance between us at all. I was so like my mother that you can do that photo thing that Jas talks about - unless there are obvious clues in the background you cannot tell which picture is me and which her.

Yet over the years my sister and I have grown into each other - to the point where, having not seen my sister for a few months, poor ds got very confused at his first birthday party. He could not understand there was this not-Mummy person who looked just like Mummy - was giving my sister some very strange looks and staying well away!

Flibbertyjibbet · 25/06/2008 22:35

Oh ds2 already did change - he came out such a clone of his brother that on pics I can only tell which one it is by checking the season of the clothes they are wearing! Then after 6m or so he just got more and more, well flibbertyish.
I have 3 sisters and over the years we have sometimes looked more like one, then another as we have all changed.
But then anyones dp clone on here may change to look like a mini me, no?

Squirdle · 25/06/2008 22:37

Megan is stunning....as are all of Psychos children, but Megan really has blossomed recently hasn't she.

megan is far too stunning at the moment....it worries me it really does (while of course I burst with pride too)

she is utterly unaware so far tho, thankgoodness, altho she started scouts with holly last week, and went in very pretty make-up and the 'best' casual stuff possible, so I am thinking maybe boys are beginning to show up on her radar.......

OP posts:
nappyaddict · 25/06/2008 22:47

i'm thinking at 14 boys are definitely on her radar. you're in denial psycho

edam · 25/06/2008 22:55

Mine won't, flibberty, he has blond hair and blue eyes so will never look like me!

Psychomum5 · 25/06/2008 22:57

me, denial.....

nooooo

not me

m children have no interest in the opposite sex

at all

no way

nada

not happening

OP posts:
nappyaddict · 25/06/2008 22:59

so are you going to let her go on the scout camps with all those boys i mean the great outdoors and campfires are the perfect settings for kissing boys i reckon

Squirdle · 25/06/2008 23:00

My lovely lovely boy is only a month or 2 older
