I'd say we could be related, but the only other person I know who has these issues is my little brother (and he's not married). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12834 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:53:59 +0000 Sophia 12834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really hope our future LO's don't inherit my depression/anxiety/poor body image issues. I really hope they inherit my height, my thick hair and DH's curls and amazing eyelashes. I also hope they inherit the sarcastic sense of humor and quick wit that we both seem to have :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12766 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:16:25 +0000 Rock n Roll 12766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope they don't get my terrible vision. Or my complete lack of coordination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12610 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:30:32 +0000 LuLu Mom 12610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really hope my future LO's don't get my knee problems. I have had 4 knee surgeries in the last 7 years, and really hope my kids don't have the same problems! I also hope they get my height, and my DH's eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12481 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:44:51 +0000 .twist. 12481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope my kids are smarter than me. I also hope they're more confident than me. I hope they are less pessemistic than my husband and I hope they don't inherit his depression.</p> <p>Otherwise, physically, they can look like either one of us and be pretty cute kids!! (Although my husband has unnaturally large feet for his size, and they're somewhat hairy [hobbit feet], it would be ok if they didn't get those) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12463 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:26:36 +0000 tequiero21 12463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm with jbhops - i hope my babies don't get my bad teeth and my husband's metabolism. also, hope they don't get my bad eyes and my husband's high blood pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12459 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:24:50 +0000 skibobrown 12459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope our kids get DH's height and my skin. (I'm a shorty, and DH still breaks out like a teenager.) We have a disagreement over hair. I would prefer that our kids get his hair (curly = adorable but hard to manage), and he wants them to get mine (straight, dull, but easy I guess). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12421 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:06:07 +0000 mrsmcgyro 12421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope our children don't inherit my allergies or tendency for skin cancer or my husbands general hairiness and impulsiveness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12319 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:07:05 +0000 LazyLightning 12319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesss, I am super-type-A as well and I hope my kid(s) are a little more laid back (but still with drive to get things done).</p> <p>I also really hope they don't get my skin. I've had acne since I was 11 and I still do, over 15 years later. </p> <p>Type 1 diabetes (the one that is not diet/exercise-related) also runs in my family and I definitely hope they don't get that.</p> <p>And I hope we can foster in them the love of fruits and vegetables! The Mister and I are awful about that, so we need to work hard to try not to pass that on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12253 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:28:51 +0000 themcmom 12253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair. It's so flat and does nothing, however I never brush my hair, so there are benefits. I'm also hoping that our LOs don't inherit the crazy that runs in my mom's side. For his side, I'm hoping that LO doesn't get his blood pressure and cholesterol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12250 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:26:57 +0000 chopsuey 12250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get scared when I'm alone at night..

Also, hope they don't end up with my horrible, weak teeth, ugly finger-toes/feet, thryoid problems, A-type OCD control freakness, fear of height. </p> <p>DH hopes they don't inherit his lack of hair and his mischievous, clever childhood mind!

His vision, my skin sensitivity, his allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12224 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:12:13 +0000 cyneswith 12224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope my offspring DON'T get the thyroid problems, diabetes, or alzheimers that run on my side of the family. I hope they DON'T get my husband's personality as children. And I hope they don't end up over sensitive to everything like I was, and I hope any daughter of mine doesn't react to birth control like I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-12223 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:11:56 +0000 mynoahbear 12223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope our kids don't inherit my clumsiness, bad eyesight, or my shyness and anxiety.

I also hope our LO gets a mix of our personalities. I hope he/she gets the best of both - my husbands compassion and way with words and my outgoing personality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-11976 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 20:42:07 +0000 Penny Lane 11976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope they don't inherit my bad eyes! I've worn glasses since I was 6... But Mr. Lane has worse eyesight than me, so really, its likely all of my kids will have bad eyes. Ugh!</p> <p>Also, Mr. Lane is terrified of being sick. He freaks out and paces in circles if his stomach feels mildly uneasy. It drives me nuts, and I really hope none of my kids pick that up off him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-11968 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 20:36:17 +0000 BabyBear 11968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope future LO doesn't inherit my eyes as well. They are absolutely terrible. I would cry if my future LO did. Another one would be my depression.</p> <p>I hope future LO doesn't inherit Mr. Bear's procrastination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-11963 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 20:34:25 +0000 heffalump 11963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Migraines!</p> <p>I wanted her to have my hubby's outgoing personality but I'm afraid she's already caught my shy gene. If someone (even her grandparents) come up to her and just say hi, she screams at them. Not a people person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-8322 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:56:34 +0000 BSB 8322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has pretty bad asthma and we really hope that with my healthy lungs that our kids won't have asthma. </p> <p>I am asian, so I'm short and my caucasian husband is pretty tall. I'm not really worried about the height, though. My niece is half asian/half white and she is taller than her mom (my sister). </p> <p>My husband and I do have some anxiety issues, too. I'm pretty sure our kid will, too, but I hope they don't. </p> <p>I'm pretty healthy and we both hope our kids inherit my immune system. </p> <p>My husband is a great artist and I'm a scientist so we definitely think on different parts of the brain. I hope our kids will be as creative as my husband and as smart as me. Not saying my husband isn't smart (he is) but I did focus more on schooling and enjoyed it schooling more then he did. </p> <p>Overall, I want our kids to have all of my good qualities and all of my husbands good qualities and none of our bad. ;) hehe</p> <p>ETA: Oh, DH has some OCD tendencies. We both hope our kids don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-8320 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:53:24 +0000 Mrs. Bee 8320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i hope they don't inherit my teeth (mr. bee has great teeth). i hope they don't inherit mr. bee's immune system (he gets sick often). i hope they don't inherit my depression/anxiety/pessimism. the last one is the biggie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-8313 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:48:32 +0000 meaganceleste 8313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope my future children don't inherit my crazy allergies! I've been miserable lately because everything in the air this time of year sets me off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-8308 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:43:45 +0000 Adira 8308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good one!</p> <p>I hope my LOs don't inherit my teeth issues (periodontal problems, bleh) or my terrible metabolism! I also hope they don't inherit my husband's teeth issues (he only has 24 teeth!) or his bad eyesight. Also, if we have a boy, I hope they take after all the other men in both hubs and my family and not Hubs (5'7") or my dad (5'7"). All the other men are at least 6'0". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-8307 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:42:05 +0000 PBandBaseball 8307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am super Type A which I know is annoying to those closest to me. I was also sort of afraid to try new things as a child particularly extracurricular activities, so I hope that my child(ren) is/are more adventurous (within reason). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-traits-do-you-hope-your-lh-does-not-inherit-from-you#post-8299 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:37:18 +0000 winniebee 8299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope that my LO does not inherit my eye problems (glaucoma, cataracts, nearsightedness) or my DH's gallbladder problems (he's native american, and it's very common to develop gallbladder issues and to need them removed). </p> <p>I also hope our LO gets some height (particularly if it's a boy!) despite the fact that DH and I are vertically challenged. I'm 5'2 and DH is 5'6. </p> <p>Finally, I hope that our LO does not get our anxious personalities. DH and I are both sort of Type A and have a lot of job related anxiety. Though, we were both very happy go lucky until adulthood. </p>
