Personality Traits - random questions

Are there any traits of yours or your DH/SO's that you hope your LO inherits? Any you hope they don't? If you already have children, do they exhibit any? No point to this post, just curious.
 

Re: Personality Traits - random questions

  • Awwww no post love. I'll start :) DH is very funny. I hope our kids pick that up. His humor is very subtle and dry and not constant so I feel like it is special that way. He can be kind of selfish and is a complete nag about being on time. I could do without those 2 things. I'm very patient and have a lot of time for others. I hope they are the same as it can be very rewarding. I'm very anxious though and have spent lots of time therapy for it. I hope they are more easygoing and I pray nurture trumps nature on that one.

    I hope he gets DH's work ethic. He is seriously the hardest worker I know. 

    I hope he does not get DH's inability to sit still. DH paces around and it drives me nuts. The dog paces around too. I could not take having another pacer in the house; I would lose my mind.

    This is a recent thing of DH's that drives me nuts. He picks up a hobby and is all gung ho about it ... spends beaucoup bucks on it. And then stops the hobby 6 months later. So it'd be great if DS doesn't do that. 

    I'd love for him to have my love of music. I think he's already well on his way. I sing to him all the time and recently when i'm singing, he starts opening his mouth to mimic and coos along. It's so awesome.

    I'm also pretty laidback. I hope DS is too. He's already seeming to be.

    ETA: I forgot to list mine, lol

  • H is so much more laid back than I am. I'm high strung lately. As soon as something goes wrong, the world is over! So, I'm hoping they are relaxes like H. DS is hyper bc he's 2.5, but is pretty much like H. I hope to God our kids don't turn out like me! I'm working on being more calm, but I'm tired, hungry and winter weather is killing me. I need to leave this freaking house. I'm losing my mind!

  • I have a lot of anxiety issues and I can easilh be a pushover. I hope DS doesn't inherit those traits. I would love if he had some of my compassion and love of reading.

    FI never worries about anything, but the minute something goes wrong it's the end of the world. I pray, for the sake of his future wife, that DS is not like that, and that he is more determined than his father. I do hope he gets FI's sense of humor though, and his ease/ability to stand up for himself and others.

    I feel like I'm forgetting something major.

  • DH tends to exaggerate things quite a lot so I hope DS doesn't get that from him. Also he tends to be a little selfish so I'd prefer if he wasn't like that. On the other hand DH is so young at heart and fun and I really hope DS is like that.

    I have anxiety and depression issues which I hope DS doesn't have, but I hope he's spontaneous like me!

    My husband is too detailed. His stories go on forevvveeeerrr(said like that kid from sandlot) I swear its awful I get so annoyed . I'm a worrier so I hope my Ds doesn't pick that up
  • I hope my son is more decisive and confident than me. I spent years in my early 20s waiting, hoping and wishing things might happen instead of growing a pair and saying what I wanted, or making plans to achieve goals.
  • Hmmm, I hope LO gets his father's music ability and natural handy-man skills from his father. Also his father's patience. 

    However, I hope he gets my ability to make decisions and take risks.

    Along these lines, I hope LO doesn't get my habit of telling excessively long, detailed stories.

  • My DH is really intelligent. I hope DS get that from him. I am very compassionate, I hope he gets that from me. I have a fairly short fuse and DH can be very negative. I hope he doesn't get either of hose traits. We both love to read so I hope he enjoys that too

    DD is so considerate and kind. It blows my mind how sweet she is. She's also very friendly which she gets from me and very curious which comes from DH. It's so fun to see little personalities emerge.

  • DH has some OCC tendencies and is a super picky eater, and I'm praying DS doesn't inherit those things. OTOH, he's very smart and athletic, and I hope DS inherits those traits. I have some anxiety issues that I hope DS doesn't get, and I hope he inherits both DH and my sense of humor and personalities.

  • Watching DS become his own little person is one of the greatest joys I have ever known. It's so fun to watch them find their place in the world. And the commentary is great! DS is a talker so we always know what is going on in his little mind.
