ROFL-- yes. My poor spouse feels similarly. DD is known colloquially among friends and family as "Mini-Me" for a very good reason. She also has that frighteningly immovable mode when her heels are dug in.

But she's actually just like my dad-- and only somewhat like me.

Still, this means that I am the parent with the user's manual to her brain, which is a useful thing that we never lose sight of as parents. Heaven knows that child development books don't seem to know-- so it's a darned good thing that we do thanks to my perspective.
