7 - Alejandro M: Are You Like Your Mom or Dad?

 



Getting compared to your parents happens to every person in this world. But they mostly compare you to your parents when you are usually at a young age. And they also usually only do physical features, like your eyes, nose, and mouth. But what about a person’s personality? And what about when they are in their teen years or somewhere around those years? 


I physically am more alike to my dad than my mom. But personality wise, I have a mix of both. Since I am usually compared to mostly my dad than mom, then we can start with how me and my dad are alike or different. If you know both of us well, then the first thing you can notice from both of us is our very calm, but sometimes too calm, personality. We both are usually chill with most things around us and can at times be a little too boring. I learned a lot about how to be one of the most boring people somebody can be with. We don’t like lots of noise, we don’t like to be very crowded, and we don’t like to have too much fun.


On the other hand, my dad is a jokester at times while I really don’t like jokes. I just grew up to be a very boring and not fun person, and when my dad would come up with his occasional jokes, I would usually just stare at him and tell him with my eyes to just be quiet. Excluding that, me and my dad are very alike to one another.


My mom and I are much different in our personalities. As I said before, I am very calm and at times boring. My mom is the exact opposite. She is energetic and wants to always bring the vibe up. This is something I can never be capable of doing. I just don’t have the energy in me to do everything she does to be so energetic. But one thing we are alike in is that we both at times can get very upset at something and just start yelling at everybody. 

Everybody is a unique person, but without our parents, we could’ve never had the personality each of us have right now.

  1. I am compared to my parents alot, especially my mom since almost all the teachers at school know her. And it doesn’t help that my grandma is always accidentally calling me by my dads name. But in reality, I am almost nothing like that, my mom loves to fight for first place and to be the best while I would be fine just getting to be involved. My dad is judgy and aggressive and never shows sadness, while I wish to avoid all conflict and am full of sad feelings. It’s hard being compared to your parents when for feel nothing like them. Though I’m glad you can see parts of yourself in your parents.
