Due to nature or nurture, or some blend of them both, many of us adopt the qualities of our parents. Sure, we’ll often look like them—share the same eye colour or nose—but our similarities go far beyond our physical appearances into qualities that we often overlook. When I consider it, everything from the way I speak to the way I fold my laundry has been influenced by my parents to some degree. The other day, it dawned on me that even the parenting style that I use with my dogs resembles the way my parents raised me, which I find super interesting, but also pretty strange!
