When we first started dating he would order a large pizza just for himself. It used to really gross me out, but now it's pretty useful because he eats whatever I don't finish. I'll only go to buffets if he's going, too, since I know he eats enough for both of us. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190587 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 21:15:43 +0000 cyneswith 190587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Physically, him. He's naturally skinny, olive-skinned, handsome, and isn't prone to any chronic illnesses. Money-wise and career-wise, him - I do NOT care about money beyond having enough to make ends meet. He's much more practical about planning.</p> <p>Academically and emotionally, me. I'm more empathetic, was MUCH better behaved as a child (because I wanted to be nice to my mommy), more apt to research an issue before I come to a conclusion (such as "of course company X does Y! Why would you even question that?" - I call, and they don't), etc. And we really hope any musical ability comes from my side, since he has no rhythm at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190577 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 21:12:46 +0000 Alivoo01 190577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably the hubby because he is such a social butterfly and can be like everyone's BFF. He's also optimistic and hard working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190566 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 21:06:14 +0000 woodentulip 190566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>def my husband. he, like mr bee, is the optimist of our relationship, the go-getter and the even-keeled one. i am the emotional, a little lazy, anxious half of our relationship. definitely him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190531 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:48:48 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 190531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably my husband. My kid can have a few of my qualities, but overall, hubs is awesome. I'd be proud to have a kid grow up like him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190524 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:45:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 190524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@joyjoy: Is yours a human garbage disposal too? I swear mine can eat his weight at every meal and still never put on an ounce. And if he does, he goes for a run and it's gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190490 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:37:45 +0000 autumnlove 190490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190378 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:18:23 +0000 joyjoy 190378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a hard one! We're so opposite that I'm hoping our kids are a mix of both of us. If I had to choose one, though, I'd say DH. He's very driven, goal oriented, a hard worker, smart, and everyone who becomes his friend stays his friend forever. I find it amazing how many people he maintains contact with. </p> <p>@@futuremrsmck: Haha, your description of your DH reminds me of mine. Super athletic, and if he ever puts on a couple pounds, he just thinks about it and it's gone! He's also low on the empathy while I have an over abundance of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190284 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:02:30 +0000 Mrs. Bee 190284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>man 100% for the husbands so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190280 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:01:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 190280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely hubs. He is SOOO patient, funny, laid back, fun and really smart.</p> <p>The one thing I want LO to get from me is that I'm not a pushover like DH, and I'm more organized/practical than he is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190274 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:00:59 +0000 lovehoneybee 190274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Him, definitely. He's a lot more laid-back about life. Very easy-going, and has a great sense of humor...he's not afraid to laugh at himself. He has an insanely good memory and is ridiculously smart. He's also very naturally athletic and he has a metabolism I might kill for (if he wasn't my DH :) I'd be thrilled if our LO has those traits.</p> <p>ETA: I hope LO gets my patience and empathy. DH has a bit of the latter, and little of the former. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190273 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:00:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 190273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely Wagon Sr. He is so knowledge-hungry, optimistic, well-liked, well-spoken, laid-back, and self-confident without being arrogant. I think I am the opposite in every way, and not in a good way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190267 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:59:38 +0000 Rubies 190267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband. My hubs is more fun, more active, happy, optimist, smart, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190266 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:59:37 +0000 chopsuey 190266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhhh this is such a hard question! I'm a lot more optimistic than DH and more book smart, but DH is a doer, isn't afraid of confrontation and such a business whiz.<br /> :T<br /> If I had to choose, I'd want our kids to be more like DH. He gets ish done and makes things happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190263 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:59:21 +0000 boiledpnut 190263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely my husband. He's so much more laid back than I am. Plus I have depression and anxiety issues and don't want my child to have to deal with that at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190256 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:58:27 +0000 MrsHotDog 190256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband. He is much smarter than me, isn't a worry wart, is very easy going and is extremely funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-turn-out-more-like-you-or-your-so#post-190242 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:56:32 +0000 Mrs. Bee 190242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have to say Mr. Bee. He is an optimist and I'm a pessimist. That can have a dramatic impact on your life and your happiness. Plus he's smarter.</p> <p>What about you? </p>
