she is a very strong willed woman and I got that. I don't let anyone step on me or tell me what to do. My fiance says " you could kick her ass". I love it.

It is really hard to tell. Judgement - mom, accepting what life gives to you - dad, political mindset - mine (or at least not coming from my parents and formed elswhere).

I attribute my
parenting abilities and ideals to my mother and father. They raised me
the way every adult wishes they had been raised. They were always supportive
and loving and caring (and on occassion very strict and mean, but of course,
like they said, it really WAS for my own good!) My honesty, my intuitive
side, most of my intelligence and my caring definitely come from my mom.
My intensity, my love of athletics, my appearance, my "manliness",
and my level head were certainly from my dad. My hairy chest maybe came
from the mailman, I don't know. (Just kidding,
mom!)

I'm quiet and a little introverted like my mum, and I have a very dry sense of humour and no patience like my dad. My taste for fear and exhilaration is something that neither of my parents have.

I attribute all
of my looks to my mother. We both have freckles, are short in height,
and have the same eye color. My personality is a bit like my father's;
he had (he's deceased now) Bipolar Manic
Depression, or at least some form, and I have been diagonsed with it.
I have blonde hair, which I attribute to neither because my mother's hair
turned brown early in age (9 or 10 yrs old). I have a
personality all my own when I am medicated for my depression and anxiety.

Looks--Mom. Temper--Dad. Wide feet--both. Quirks/personality--me.

I attribute my love of books and my dislike for quarreling to my mother. My father was the source of my desire to solve problems, my logical thinking, and my stubbornness. My sense of humor is my own.

I got my strange sense of humor, my love of music, my love of animals, and my compassion from my mother. My ability to get along with others came from my father. People have told me that my strongest quality is my generosity and that is uniquely mine.

I had a hard time
answering this, so I asked my husband. According to him, getting hung
up about money is from my mother; not holding a grudge is from my dad.
Neither one of us can come up with something that is uniquely my own.
I think that is because our personalities are formed by the
people around us.

The love of the
outdoors, of animals, of nature, fishing, sailing, camping, horsemanship
and the art of just letting loose, being goofy and having fun I attribute
to my Father. The value of hard work, perseverance through tough times,
unconditional love, the strength of family, kindness, faith, the
love of books and learning I attribute to my Mom. Uniquely my own...patience,
curiosity, being a good cook and the love of gardening.

Being
loud and talking while everyone else is talking (while still understanding
and commenting on what other people are saying) is a family trait. I'm
not sure who's side of the family that trait comes from but my siblings
share this in common with me. Being laid back is from my father.
Nagging my kids, the words from my mother just escape out of my mouth
unbidden. To Learn patience, I'm on my own.

From my Mom, I worry about everyone. To be able to talk to any one or even the wall, if no one is around, my Dad. Caring about appearances is mine.
