Off my mum's side I've got slimness, longevity and keeping my marbles for ever. However, I also get shit skin. However, I don't mind living till I'm 90 or so with all me faculties. I'll just buy shares in whoever makes E45 cream.  |

From my mum... Her bluntness & dry sense of humour, her youthful looks - no one believes she's in her mid 50s and that she's been smoking for 40 years - and probably the nice long skinny legs 
I've been told that I have her eyes too. Maybe I should give them back. |

My mums appetite for learning, my dads easygoing nature

Joie de vivre- the joy of life, nice legs, fiery, soft skin, youthful looks and lovingness
From my mother.
Generosity and easy going/laid back, good health from my father. |

Not from my mum but I've the being short and big hips from my grandma and great aunties, from my mum, good skin and younger looking, but my mum is far younger looking than me, I could knock 5 years of she could knock at least 10 off.
Also as I've lost weight people are saying I look like my mum this has never never been known.
From my dads side unfortunately the temper although mines gotten better as I've got older but I was often referred to as having the ****** temper.

From my mother I have youthful looks and a smily, friendly attitude towards most people and a loving generous attitude towards my family  |

Baking skills from my Great Auntie, not sure what I got from my Mum but from my Dad I got short legs and his tightfistedness, I try to say I'm frugal but deep down I know I'm a bit of scrooge |

The only good thing I inherited from my sperm donor is my (olive) skin complexion - I tan really well and have never burned in my life.
From my amazing Mother, on the other hand:
- The ability to get knocked down multiple times and still come back like an unstoppable force.
- Seeing the good through all the shit life brings.
- Working hard for what you want/need without taking the easy way out.
- Doing what is right for you but not by fucking over the people that you love/people who love you.
- Amy. x |

Oh and my caring for the community nature from my mum, she goes round visiting all the oldies and bits and bobs, takes the local *characters* under her wing, we do know some strange people between us |

I'm not sure they are qualities but on the genetic front I have smooth skin and my face from my mother but I didn't get her slim body. Instead I got my paternal grandmother's Weeble body and height.
I think I have inherited a genetic disposition to depression from both parents. Maybe my libido came down the line from my father. The lupus probably from my maternal genes.
I'm a survivor and that has a lot do with them, good and bad. I'm generous; as with a lot of very poor people my parents have always shared whatever they had with anyone who needed it.
I'll probably have the dementia that seems to strike early on my mother's side. |

"What's the best quality you've inherited from either of your parents? "
Can't say my father has too many great qualities, so none from him. All the good things I have come from my mother. Her compassion, her thirst for knowledge, her honesty, her gentle loving nature |

Not exactly a quality, but it's a quite unusual genetic trait from my mum, her father and his mum: I have one eye short-sighted and the other long-sighted.

No idea what I got from my mums side, not seen her more then twice since I was 6.
Oh apart from not getting the fired egg boobs
From my dad.
A zest for life, a can do attitude. Try anything at least once. Think out the box.
The shape of my nose, the whispy eye brows
My boobs come from his side of the family
The ability to roll my tongue lol |

Being raise to see myself as a citizen of the world.
I love England and that I was born here, but have never identified as a citizen of the UK or as black or white or whatever.
Then strangely about 12 years ago I was asked to travel for business and I found, out there in the world, I just fit in.
I attribute it to my parents.
Although I get told a lot that I am very English!
Stupid foreigners!! |

But surely your dad must have some good qualities that made your mum marry him? |

Hmmm I guess so. Not sure he has those qualities now though. I can't honestly say I've inherited any good qualities from him. It's complicated  |

I got my looks and body from my mum. Got my dads sense of humour and wellbeing. And the fact I can handle anything that come my way. And from my mums side I got my love of secret black lovers. And that goes back many generations |

"What's the best quality you've inherited from either of your parents? "
A knowledge that most things don't really matter from my dad and an ability to see both sides of an argument from my mum.
Unfortunately I also got my dad's nose and my mum's hands |

From Mum ~ youthful looks, soft skin & empathy.
From my Dad ~ my wild untamed curly hair, which I've learned to embrace over the years!
From them both ~ a sense of humour tinged with a hint of sarcasm |

From both: work ethic and compassion for other people ... turns into a mission to help a lost cause. A fighter, who always bounces back.
Can be very pulled emotionally ... growing up in an alcoholic home, not inherited as such, but certainly because of the environment. This has impacted on my need not to be tied down and dislike of emotional dramas ... |

My stubborness from my mum and dad. Skills from 'the underworld' on how not to be a part of the system. Physically i'm naturally muscly and excessively hairy like them both.
From my dad: aggressiveness (comes in handy sometimes when you live in dog rough areas), knowing not to warn people what you're up to and just spring it on them instead, also being spontaneous. Not giving a shit what others think. The ability to understand what abuse feels like and how to not make anyone else feel that way. I got his eyebrows (so i groom them).
My mum: patience, the ability to think and weigh stuff up before doing anything, critical thinking. A whole host of home skills. Dissociation.
I'm aware some traits contradict each other, they're used in different situations. |

From my mum, my sense of humour, empathetic and caring nature, artistic leanings, passionate sexuality (I think!) And last but not least - my big boobies!
From my dad, stubbornness, individuality, self sufficiency, bloody mindedness and physically - pale skin and hair colour. |

A bit hard to tell as me mam died 2 days before ma 7'th birthday and ma dad passed away when I was 21 
But I would say:-
Me mam's eyes/eyesight, all ma dad's side were as blind as bats.
Ma dad's sense of humour |
