Nature Vs, Nurture

Yeah, I think genes play a big part. Even with genes though, stop and think.. I'm sure you can think of people in your life who have at least one bio child that is completely different than them. I know I have friends who I thought were NUTS and they have super non wild kids. And other friends who were a little too perfect whose kids have grown up to be wild enough for all of them! So even in a bio family, nature only goes so far. But, yes, I do anticipate DD to have many of the same tastes and interests in life as her bparents. And I wonder if she'll have the same lifestyle. The benefit of having the bparents, is that they'll be there to talk to DD and understand her in a way I won't be able to, if she lives the same way her bparents do. (They don't live in a negative way, just different than us. We're all different.) It will be good for DD to have someone who really understands.
