What separates you from your parent(s)?
 

What physical traits, views (religious/political/social), and/or personality traits you DO NOT share with your parent(s)?

I am less religious than my parents (Mother). I am a little more conservative in my political views than both of my parents.

i am more liberal in my religious and poilitical views (i.e. homosexuality, abortion....) than my parents

All my family members (parents, sister, grandparents, etc) have jet black hair, brown eyes, and fair skin.
Somehow, I picked up some way recessive gene and got blonde hair, green eyes, and olive skin. :confused:
That's really the only difference. Me and my parents are pretty much on the same wavelength when it comes to religion and political stuff.

I'm more conservative than my mother, less responsible than both, more sensitive than my father

I'm more spontaneous, much, much, MUCH more liberal and less responsible than my parents.

Well....I'm WAY less religious than either of my parents...especially my mother. *whew*

Umm.....I more liberal for now and just in general I have a different outlook on things.

Looks wise I look nothing like my mom and I don't even have one personality trait similar with her.

I am Christian, they are Buddhist.

I am more into emotions, and they are not.

I am very liberal and they are not.

I am a conservative Republican, they are diehard Democrats

I am Episcopalian, they are Roman Catholic

They like to "talk it out", I prefer to keep things to myself

They moved away from where they grew up and then moved back, I moved away from where I grew up and stayed away

My sister and I both have dimples (mine are a little bigger), and my parents don't have them. My mom always wanted dimples... she said that when she was younger she'd sleep with quarters in her cheeks just to try to get them so she loves our dimples.

My sister and I are both naturally tanner than my parents.

I'm obsessed with clothes, my mom's obsessed with jewelry.

I'm not good in math and I have the worst sense of direction, both of which are the opposite of my dad.

I'm more looser in my views about sex and dating, while my parents are more old fashioned.

Well, as usual, I am diffent!:)

Age 3 quict the So Bab. church. Did not go back to church even though Father swore to beat my ass!:mad: Told him, you aint going why should I! No body went.! Neighbor with a little nudging of MOM went to Anglican Church. Loved It!

Should been on the cover of Life Mag. Margret Truman was getting Married! To Short. F Marg. Truman! :mad:

Dated a Roman Girl, in High School, Married a Roma in College. She became a Anglican! We are now divorced!

I dont go any more to many storys to tell! Doi I beleive! Yep! So There!

Oh, so many deep stories , Hell Never live my life any different!:D

What separates me from my parent?

About 1200 miles and 30 something years.

Dad and I don't have much in common. But he's still an OK guy.

Mom and I were a closer fit when she was alive.

I could go on all day! :p

I'm Jewish, they're Catholic
I'm a Democrat, they're Republicans
I'm pro-choice, they're anti-abortion
I'm greek, they're not ;)
Technology is second nature to me, they don't know how to turn their computer on
I deal with problems head-on, they pretend they don't exist :rolleyes:

I'm more socially liberal.

My mom has lots of freckles and darker skin, and I have no freckles and paler skin (except when I get a tan)...other than that, we look just alike.

Edited to Add: My parents think white people should not date/marry black people, and vice versa, and I don't agree with that. I'm starting to think that if people can find someone they're happy with, they're pretty lucky no matter what color the person is!

My Letters (LOL)

My Education level

My goals - I think my parents have high expecations for me because they know I have more drive than they did...well and more opprotunities than they did.

A FEW social views vary from my father.

Everyone says I look just like my mother but I don't see it. My sister on the other hand is the spitting image of my mom when she was younger.

interesting question
 

I take more risks than they do (though I am still more cautious than most of my friends my age, 22),

I am much more of a "spender" than they ever were (though I am pretty responsible- never ran a credit card debt),

I am more socially inclined (neither of them would EVER have had any interest in joining a Greek org in college),

And I'm capable of drinking a lot more- I could drink either of them under the table.

My mom has black hair, olive skin, and green eyes. I inherited my dad's features I have blonde hair blue eyes and fair skin.

I'm the first in my family to go to college.

I think I am more liberal than my parents.
They're crazy and weird, but I am probably normal
My dad is an irrational stubborn creature (not easily reasoned with), I am a rational creature.
They're Jewish, I follow a more spiritual and natural path (not a religious one)
They claim they have good hand writing, but they think that mine is awful (I'll be the judge of that)
I am probably more open-minded than they are
I drink slightly more than they do
I am a member of a sorority, my mom and dad aren't

My mom's got freckles and red hair and one blue and one green eye.

I've got darker skin, dirty blonde hair, and dark brown eyes.

My mom is (though I love her) very negative.

I always try to be positive.

Mom's a worry wort.

I don't worry about much.

That pisses my mom off, and amuses me.

lol.

My mom likes guilt trips. I like revenge!

Wow this is kind of scary but as I was reading through this thread trying to decide how my parents and i are different I really couldn't come up with a whole lot! My parents are more like two of my very best friends nowadays.

However, I'm greek, they're not. My mom is from a totally different country and they don't have sororities/fraternities where she went to college. She really didn't even know what one WAS until I joined one. :)

I am MUCH more social than my father. He has very few friends he likes to spend time with. I am a social butterfly. ;)

My mom is really good at math and at making jewelry (she has her own business) and I suck majorly at both of those things.

Other than that though, we're really very similar. Same political/religious views, etc. Pretty cool. :cool:

They're a lot older than me.

Like Kiki... my parents and I are pretty similar.

I look exactly like my mom.

How are we different....

I graduated high school and went to college.... they did not.

I joined a sorority... my parents weren't aware of Greek Life.

I'm more conservative, politically and socially.

I'm less outgoing than my dad.

I'm more into fashion and style than my mom.

I'm religious(ish) - they are not.

Although I look like her, I am much taller than my mother. I am also far more laid back and have a greater sense of humor than she does. I got my sense of humor from my dad.

Unfortunately, not genetics.

Not real proud I am related to those folx. Theres just soem peeps who shouldnt have bred. Dotn get me wrong, I am glad I am here, they just had no idea what the hell they were doing and are the parents we all see and say to ourselves, "They shouldnt have kids"

I share nothing with my parents. Its taken me and my siblings years of therapy to fix their mistakes.

Like Kiki and Ginger said, there's just not much. I had to grab at straws for these, even:

1,500 miles.

I like big cities, they like small towns. As a result, I live in a big city. They live in a small town.

Politically we're about the same, although I might be a little more left of center about some things. But not many.

I'm Greek (so is my sister), and they are not. They simply came of age during a time when it wasn't "cool" to be Greek.
