what's the best quality you've inherited.

What's the best quality you've inherited from your parents/guardian?

Both my parents are very gentle and caring. A quality I've inherited which I'm proud of.

What's yours?

Probably the same as you Alice plus from my dad a love of gardening and from my mum a love of serious music.

Re: what's the best quality you've inherited.

Maybe the inherited one is the ability to switch off at times. I am always being told Iīm so laid back itīs a wonder I donīt fall over, but I think itīs more that I just switch off.

Patience, acquired I think, probably not inherited, more likely due to two careers both involving working with difficult people. Again either switch off for a while or take a step back and think how I would react if I was the person being difficult.

Sense of humour, positively wicked at times.

They f**k you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
Philip Larkin

That's what I inherited from them. The rest, I acquired from other people.

Now as to the 'best quality', not to worry about things that don't directly affect me or my family.

Honesty, I think, from my mum and her mother, both very straight law-abiding ladies. I do my best to follow in their footsteps !!

Determination and an 'I will do it if it kills me' attitude from my Dad which has seen me through some difficult times
