How would you say it in Japanese? 「母みたいでよかった」？If not, then how?

question
words
'I'm glad I look like my mother'
「[母]{はは}みたいでよかった。」 **_could_** mean "I am glad I look like my mother.", but
without any context to explain that you are talking about the physical
resemblance, it would usually just mean "I am glad I **am** like my mother."

To express "I am glad I **look** like my mother." in a single sentence all by
itself, you would say:

「[母親似]{ははおやに}でよかった。」

Kids would say 「お[母]{かあ}さん[似]{に}でよかった。」 and they can say it to anyone. Because
of the word 「お母さん」, adults can say that only when talking to other family
members.
