> From my experience

I have a strong feeling that I am going to regret asking this, but what exactly is your experience?

Working with lots of kids from various families.

The kids end up like their birth parents, their economics or social environment makes little difference.

Some kids are so opposed to how their parents are they actually move out (in early teens) and live with other people, and have little contact with their parents.

And despite that, they still end up just like their parents once they are past the teen stage.

It's also amazing to see how some kids are just like their father, some like their mother, and some a mix of both (some traits from one parent, some from the other parent).

But you don't see kids who are unlike either parent.
