    Theres a chinese saying that teh first daughter always looks like your brother. My DD was a spitting image of my brother and even my mum couldnt tell them apart when i pulled out a pic of him and pretended it was my daughter lol

    lol MILs often say odd things....

    but in answer to the question....not around these parts!
    My kids are a perfect matching pair and the spit out of my mouth. DH doesn't nor has he ever gotten a look in.

    My DD arrived looking like the spitting image of her uncle, DH's brother lol now she just looks like a bit of all of us. But if you talk to my MIL every little feature and habit is completely from her side of the family....

    DH didn't get a look in with Sam at birth. From the minute he was born you'd call him a clone of me apart from the gender issue!

    I sometimes freak out when I look at him and see myself from my baby photos in him - it's really weird, but certain facial expressions are like I'm looking at my baby photos again and it is really, really weird at times.

    The only way DH appears in Sam is personality. Sam is me all over in looks and completely DH in personality. Better than being the reverse - I don't think I'd do well with a control-freak stress-head toddler!
