Just because I'm a girl do I have to be told that I look like my mom?

I'm not sure if anyone out there has had this said to them (most likely someone who has known you or knows of you for a long time) that you look like your mom if you're a girl or your dad if you are a guy (unless you don't know who your biological parents are then this may or may not apply to you).

When I was little I didn't mind it (more or less was okay with it) being told how much I looked like my mom. Before I delve into this my background consists of Croatian and Polish on my dad's side while I have Spanish and Filipino on my mom's side. I'm quite the interesting mix. Now that I'm older I'm slightly annoyed by being told that I look like my mom. Why is it that I'm not told that I look like my dad (there was one point I was but it's a totally different story)? Is it because of my gender?

In terms of identity I see myself as Canadian as I was born and raised here. Secondly with being part Asian I don't really see myself neither as "white" nor Asian. I guess I could see myself as Eurasian in the sense that I'm a mix of European and Asian, but that's not the point I'm trying to make. There was a point in time I'd think that I would look like my dad because I do share the same hands and feet and hairline whereas I took my mom's eyes, nose, and recessive brown hair gene. Sure I have traits from my parents but just because I'm biologically their kid does not mean I have to take on the fact that I look like one of them. I personally see myself as an individual. My image is my own: it does not reflect either my mother or my father so why do I need to be told that I look like mom?

Looks aren't the only thing but there's behaviour as well. That I do notice as I have picked up something from both of them whether they be good habits or bad. I'm not sure if my extended family thinks that I share a lot of things with my parents but here's how I differ:
Both of my parents are Catholics and naturally I was raised in that religion. I was about 14 when my religion textbook (I kid you not) introduced the concepts of atheism, agnosticism and individualism. I'm pretty sure the book is explaining why one should embrace religion instead of these ideas but that's not the point I'm trying to make (and my fallout with religion is a whole different story). I don't think my parents have told any of their friends about my beliefs (of if they did they probably say something else) but for those who don't know probably assume I share the same religious beliefs and values as they do (this happens to come from an e-mail from a relative who believes that I have grown up to a God-fearing woman). A habit I picked up from my dad is his quietness and keep-to-oneself-ness. From my mom it's probably her talkativeness. How does that work out? See Newton's first law or if I feel that it's too eerily quiet I'll try to start up a conversation.

So anyways anyone who reads this: do you find that because of your gender you're appearance tends to look a lot like your mom (girls) or your dad (guys)? Or is it the opposite for you?
