Yes, I'd say I'm a lot like my dad in some ways. We both enjoy watching sports and cheering on our favorite teams. I've also inherited his lack of ability in doing home repairs, but I'm great with the barbeque just like him.

Try my best to be nothing like him. I went to countless parenting classes and a dads group, for naturally I would not be like him. I hold nothing against my father. But when it becomes to parenting you should find who you are before it happens parenting like how you were raised is just using the mimic part of your brain, bot by you soul


It's not how we fall which defines us but how we rise after falling

[Babar]

I'm not very much like my father at all (thank goodness). He wasn't around when I was growing up; I was raised by a single mom. He had some addiction and depression problems that ultimately cost him his life.

Great topic! I have to admit I share a lot of similar traits with my father. And growing up with him, I have even acquired a lot of his better qualities and also his faults. We are a lot alike and yet our beliefs are very different, we even have different spiritual beliefs. I'm just glad that one of the few traits we share is open-mindedness. However, I often envy the people who are very alike with their fathers and share the same interest. I think I'm missing out on some grand experience, but honestly, being different from each other is a little fun too, especially when it comes to conversations.

There are only a couple of things that my father and I have in common. The first being short tempered and the second being very work oriented. We don't sit back and wait for results. We are the doers in our life.

I am like my father in a number of ways. One, both of us like to make things. Many things in the house we made them ourselves. Another trait I share with my father is a sense of humor. Somehow, both of us are able to see the funny side even in the most dreadful scenarios.

My father milked cows. I don't. My father slopped hogs. I don't. My father plowed fields with a horse. I don't. My father helped his wife churn butter. I don't. My father was plain and simple. I am, too. I also have an iPad. He had a chair and a warm fire.

[Kina]

I see my dad about once every six years, I talk to him on the phone about once every 2 years. He kinda ditched me and my brother when we were young. I do not hold any resentment towards him.

[Godric]

I'm more of a silent observer type like my father used to be. He has this huge aura that you would know he was there even if he was silent the entire time.

I had learned many important lessons of life from my father. He's in the army, so it is expected that he is strict in disciplining us. But he rarely laid his hands on us. That technique in raising a family was I think the most important lesson I've learned from him. He's a nature lover too, which I am now teaching to my own kids.
