IMHO, my theory that our kids are often times not the types of people we were expecting is not all that uncommon. Although, I do not have any tips for how to cope with getting blind sided by those curious strangers who show up when you thought you were hatching a nice *chip off the old block.* My only bit of insight is this: the kids are just as blindsided. A lot of them were not expecting the parents that they found when they were dropped down the chimney.
My brother and I discovered - when we were in our 20s - that as kids, we had been skeptical that the stork had dropped us down the correct chimney. Not that we were unhappy with our parents - it just didn't seem like we had that much in common with them. Of course, we were both polite and kept that to ourselves.
It is safe to say that I never met an alternative to my own parents who I thought would have been perfect.
