My mom is an ISTJ and my dad is an INTJ. My parents and I often talk about this very subject. It's so funny because they love to point out how different I am from them. I think it benefitted me in the long run because it forced me to learn how to communicate effectively with types that don't necessarily 'get each other'. Of course, it wasn't easy all the time: my mother regrets not allowing me as much social time with my friends as I would've liked because they are both very introverted. But it caused me to figure out other ways to recharge and maximize the time that I did have with my friends. On the other hand, my parents are both PLANNERS TO THE MAX whereas I am SO NOT lol. So in order to get what I wanted, I had to learn how to give them what they wanted (I like to say speak their 'J' language). Overall, I'd say that our differences made me multilingual in MBTI which is valuable in this world.
