I don't look like my immediate family. Somehow, people would assume me and my brother were twins when we were younger, but I've always thought we couldn't be less alike. I see myself in a few of my grandmother's earlier pictures, back in the 50's. She has one photograph of her mother too, and I look a little like my great grandmother I suppose. I really don't take after my mother or father, but I have his eyes and his curls (but a lighter colouring).
Personality wise, I've got the best and the worst from both my parents. My dad is really easy going, isn't argumentative, but his attention jumps from one thing to the other very quickly. My mum doesn't really let things go, and will stress over something, sometimes leading to a full blown argument, but she's organised and on top of everything - she always has a Plan B. I'm all of the above.
