Nature vs. Nurture

This is a topic that has always interested me and to be honest I have always used my daughter as an example. For some reason with a new baby on the way I have been paying more attention to this. My oldest has seen her mother once in the past 11 years. This would lead me to believe that there would be very little things about her that would be like her mother.
However, I do see things about her but I am starting to understand that there is a difference between Nature and Nurture when it comes to qualities that your child posses.
With a new baby on the way I have been looking at all four of our kids and try to take out the Nature aspect that is provided in those children by the parents that are not involved in the new baby, in other words the Ex’s traits. Then I look at my wife and my traits and then our child raising abilities. I think I am getting a good picture of what the baby is going to be like.
1. Very Good Looking (this is all because my looks never show up in my kids and my wife is very good looking.
2. Very Smart, we are talking about Doogie Howser here. Again this is because my traits don’t show up in my children.
3. Athletic and coordinated. Both of us like sports and sport participation.
4. Shy, yes this is the only trait that shows up in my kids that they get from me.

So, my fortune telling is going to say that this child is going to be a good looking professional sports player that wins the Nobel Peace Prize but calls in sick to accept the award because he/she doesn’t like crowds.
