Well in my case and my relatives, this is pure hog wash.

My mother was/is a brunette of about 5'. My wife is a blond of 5'8". Our son's wife is a Mediteranean Beauty with dark brown hair. My sister is married to a blond guy who is 6'4, and our Dad had black hair before it became white and was 5' 10".

I can't think of a single relative on my side or my wife's side who married someone with even a slight resembalance to their parents or even their grandparents.

You know there is a pattern in that behavior too. Families have such interesting dynamics
