Not just dogs Elaine, what about horses - Princess Anne for example! Poodles are an example, some people really look like their pet pooch! Sylvia xxx

I'm afraid I do a little... I've a bull terrier and it's built just like me?!

Funny thought came into my head Dont mind about family liknesses, how many peeps look like their dogs lol (I know of a few lolol) Elaine x :o)))

My mum and dad have been seperated for twenty something years now, but just sometimes my mum will turn around and jump, thinking my dad is in her house (she's now re-married). she says I look and sound just like him. I know my lips disappear when i'm angry and I bite my tongue literally, just like dad does.

Well, it looks as though we don't need DNA testing amongst you lot! Sylvia xxx

nag!!!!xxxxx(:

My sister and I have very similar voices and apparently look very alike which I find strange as I'm brunette with dark eyes and she's blonde with blue eyes... becx

this is weird because. my ex father-in law is the identical to his father when he was his age 52 my ex is identcal to his father when he was his age 33 my second eldest son is identical to his father when he was his age 8 the other weird thing is all of them are second eldest & all male maybe if my ( phillip my second eldset) has any children his second eldest will look like his father ,grandfatrher,g grandfather & gg grandfather

I talk 'silly' to the dog exactly like my Mum, and my husband twitches when he's watching football, exactly like his Dad!

nudge because I like to hear your different views on this subject. Sylvia xxx

The weirdest thing I've come across, is that my Son looks similar to my father, has his mannerisims and the same hobbies. Son is now 34 and they have never met! (Due to family conflict) Jo.

I remember when my youngest daughter was born how much she resembled my mother in law. Sylvia xxx

That's just reminded me - now my cousin Thomas is bald and last time I saw him he looked more like his German mother's side of the family, but when he was about 8 and came for a visit, he and my brother (who is about a year or so younger) looked very alike. We've got a picture of one of them on the beach with his back to the camera and because the photo is black and white and we can't see the colour of his swimming trunks, we don't know which it is! They are related because their fathers were brothers, but I don't think that the brothers (my dad and uncle) lookedvery alike. Sometimes its just a facial expression, a gesture, a posture that reminds us of someone else. I've got a pic of my younger son looking just like my grandmother and another of him a few months later looking just like my husband's gran. nell

I met up last wekend with my first cousin and her fmily for her son Richard's 31st brithday.Richard and my son Justin are the image of each other in build,mnnerisms and facial expressions.Yet they only share great grndparents if you think about it. Isn't it odd-Rose

Sometimes I can see my daughter in my granddaughter. Sylvia xxx

I walk around shops with my hands held behind my back, when my mum was over here for a holiday my hubby said watch your mum and there she was walking around with her hands together behind her back LOL I had never noticed before. Debs.

My dad was nearly bald and would have been glad to be able to curl his hair round his finger, haha! I don't know that I have any mannerisms from him, but now that I am older and a parent I feel I understand him more - too late of course. He died in 1990. I've got his quirky sense of humour - he was the only parent of kids in my class who thought Monty Python was funny. Certain kinds of classical music remind me of him and how he would sing along. I find myself saying to my children things that my mum said to me and my brother. But I think I am a one-off! nell

Yes, Mandy, just little things one says and does. Sylvia xxx

Sylvia, this is even more weird .... I was adopted at 6 weeks and have never met my birth mother since, whilst my half-brother was brought up by her. Apart from looking similar, he says that sometimes he turns around and really has to catch his breath, because something I have said or done in a particular way is exactly like her. The 'nurture vs nature' debate is fascinating. Mandy :)

Does anything you do remind you of your mother or father? For instance, my father when he was tired used to curl his hair round his finger, and I find myself doing just the same! Weird or not? Sylvia xxx
