Do your kids look alike?

[momrek06]

I have two DS', 28&24yo.

The look exactly alike although one has blue eyes and blond hair and one has black eyes and brown hair. They are the same height, same weight, sound(voice) the exact same and have the identical mannerisms.

Blond DS looks exactly like DH and brown haired DS looks like me!

Funny how that happens!

My kids have similar facial features but my daughter has brown eyes, really dark brown hair and her skin is a little darker while my son has blue eyes, blondish/brownish hair and my pasty white skin.

I have 5. Two of them look mostly like me. Two of them look mostly like their dad. But these four have a very strong resemblence and get told they look clones all the time. Now the other one looks like the milk man's baby! Especially when he was born- he was born with blond hair. All the rest of us have dark, dark hair. As he has gotten older, he blends in a little more and his hair has darkened to medium brown, but it's still much lighter than the rest of ours.

My kids look nothing alike.

DD13 is tall (5'8") and a little chunky, she has olive skin, brown hair and hazel eyes(almond shaped eyes-slightly asian looking).

DS9 is skinny, average height, pale skin, blue eyes and dirty blonde hair (was white blonde when he was little but darkened as he got older).

DD13 looks like DH but, DS9 looks nothing like any of us. However, he looks like my younger sister including the skinny body, pale skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. He looks more like her child than mine.

My DS24 and DD17 look just alike. When DS had his hair grown out you would have thought they were twins. They both have thick,dark, Greek hair, straight noses, full lips. And then there's Christian--he is just as blond and blue-eyed as can be, nothing like his sibs. Someone asked me who he looks most like and I had to answer honestly--"he looks like the preacher!"

People always think my sister and I are twins because we're only 15 months apart. I personally don't see the resemblance, but my parents do.

If I see some pictures of myself, I can see the resemblance with my brother. We don't look the same; we just look related.

Our two sons look alike (to other people). In addition to that, I think they look a lot like their half-sister and brother. You would never guess they weren't 100% related. I guess their father has some serious genes.

sort of.. My 4yo son looks identical to what my 17yo looked like at his age. But now at 17 and 4 next to each other they dont look alike (does that make sense lol) They both also take after me and look Caucasian.

My daughter took after my husband who is Hispanic but the older one has straight hair and the younger one has a head full of curls. Other than skin color they dont look alike.

My oldest and youngest look a lot alike. When we see photos of the oldest at the age that the youngest is now, they look identical. Middle son looks completely different. He is sooooooooo much like my dad, down to being color-blind and even food preferences. The other two look like my husband.

I have 2 brothers and people say I me and my oldest brother look a lot alike. We both have blonde hair and blue eyes. My other brother doesn't really look like us, he looks more like my mom but funny thing is he also looks so much like a cousin on my dad's side!

I have 3 kids. My 2 dd's are told they look alike all the time. I don't really see it except for their coloring. They both have dark blonde/light brown hair always in ponytails They look like my DH but he's alot darker than them. My ds looks more like my side of the family and he has green eyes when I see baby pictures of my middle dd and my ds though I see such a resemblance in them. It is so funny and interesting how genes work.

 

[minniecarousel]

It's funny - in baby pictures, if you don't see the chin, it's hard to tell my sons apart. They are 2 1/2 years apart and are now 28 & 30 and they look nothing alike! (my older son has a great dimple in his chin - not that you can see it now with his beard!)

My 5 brothers look like brothers, especially #1, #3 & #4. My sister (who is older by 18 months) & I were mistaken for twins when we were little and we look a lot alike now that we're "better than middle age"!

We have 4 children. They "resemble" each other except for the youngest- My 3 older take after my husbands side- tan complection- brown hair- hazel eyes. Then there is the little guy(5) with his blonde hair and blue eyes. I say it takes 4 kids for dh's genes to be watered down enough for mine to have a fighting chance.

at least you got one with blue eyes... 4 here also and none got my blue eyes

 

[paintnolish]

No, my two do not look alike. Check out my (still unfinished TR). My sisters and I do look a lot alike. I have three younger sisters and look most liek the youngest one, but all do have a definite resemblance.

 

[redlight]

I'm an only. One of my cousins looks more like me (especially when I was heavier) than she does to her sister.

 

[pigletgirl]

No, my siblings and I are all a mixed bag! It really is amazing that we all came from the same mother.

 

[powellrj]

My oldest and youngest look like brother and sister, while my middle DS doesn't look like either of them. They are both blond and fair and on the short side while middle DS is tall, thin and dark.

Because of the age difference and the fact that DS is bald, many people think they are father and daughter instead of brother and sister.

 

[PrincessBelle39]

My girls are very much alike. Sometimes I look at them and have to look twice to be sure which I am looking at.
I have photos of them when they were toddlers that I really have difficulty telling which is which.

 

[quasar4legs]

I have one brown haired son so he just looks, well................like him.

My sister has 3 kids, red haired and freckled that look like clones. You could pick that they were siblings in a room of thousands.

When they were all little we would have santa photos taken every year and the kids could never work out how santa knew which kid was the cousin.

I only have one, but he and his cousin look a lot alike (both just like their grandfather). When I have them out together, I get asked if they're twins.
