    If a baby is exactly like you, how would that not get annoying after a while? For one thing you could predict its every move

      Both my kids are exactly like me, except with opposite varieties of ADHD.

      I can’t stand it.

      Love em to death but man just because they are like me doesn’t make them more predictable. In my case, they’re completely unpredictable…just like I was.

        My daughter is very much me. When she gets on my wifes nerves, she’ll tell me to “go take care of little you.”

        The thing is, i know what i was responsive too, so i know how to curb the attitude. The only time that hasnt played out in my favor was one time she was pushing her sisters buttons, and I said, “oh theres nothing we can do about this one. We’re going to have to wait til her sister snaps and lets her have it.” My wife didnt like that answer one bit

          This is my son and I. I know what he’s thinking before he does, because my brain got there before his.

      The only saving grace is your kids are also a healthy dose of your partner’s qualities. With our kids my wife and I are constantly like “yup that’s me right there” “oh but that behavior is all me”
