Do u want your children to be like yourself??

I have two girls aged 4 and 2 years I do not expect them to be like me that would be impossible they are their own people from the day they are born, ok so we may mould them a little into what we would like for example giving them good manners and respect for others yes but no matter what we do they will always have their own ideas and identity and that is the way it should be. I dont expect anything of my girls but i do give them a good example daily and of course they copy that they are only little but as they grow i imagine they will find their own identity and that is 100% ok with me

I expected my children to follow the orders of their mother and myself, unless they just wanted to stretch the limits to see how far they could go without being thumped upside the head. They grew up to be sensible, responsible adults with nice jobs and families of their own

i would not at all want my child to be like me......i would give my child the liberty to grow up on his own but seeing that my child doesnt get any bad qualities....

Actually people say that what you were as a person, or lets say for instance, what you were like when you were young, your children will have the same traits as you. I think that's true... In some ways I think I'm like my mom when she was younger!

Hi,friend.I would hope my children to be a wise and happy person.He will has own idea,he will decide what master skills and interests.I won't interfere with him.But i don't allow that he has no ambition and lazy.

well what u say may be right..but right now i am still a bachelor and i am far from having children..but if i have to face such situation then i think i would try my level best to make my child to be independent cause that's the way my parents brought me up..when i had all the perks of living my life to the fullest then why not my child???

Hi there, Yeah, I am also choosing the second answer, I want my kids to be themselves, but not what I expected them to be. It's true that I can't say I can do that, as I do not have kid now. But I always remind myself that I shouldn't do what I should not. Of course, I will still give him guidelines, especially when he is still young. But when he's mature enough, he should be on his own. I may tell him whether I like it or not, but he has the choice to make his own decision.

I want to see my son grow up to be what he wants to be. I don't expect for him to follow in my order at all. He is uniquie and has his own personality and I think he deserves to lead his own life the way he would want to and be happier that way. As long as he goes in the right direction in life and is happy that is all I care about. I will always be here for support for him if he ever needed it but no I don't expect him to follow in my foot steps.

I want my child to learn and grow under my support and guidance. I would like him to have values also. There is a part of me that would like him to be like myself however I want him to be happy where life leads him.

Hi, uditpanda I guess I would want my child to grow up having his own set of ideas and identity. Well, whatever he becomes, I just want him to be a good person with a good heart. I am not sure if I want him to be like me, though. I mean, I think I am a fairly good person but I am also stubborn. I am not sure how stubborn mom would deal with her stubborn child Have a nice day!

I am pregnant with my first baby right now and I feel that I will give my little girl freedom so she has her own identity. My parents raised me up letting me do things I wanted, they didn't control me and allowed me to do my own choices. I felt their belief in me and became pretty alright person :) I will try to teach myself to be flexible with raising my children and no controlling them with my fair.

I want my children to grow up in an good environment and be guided with our correct values. I don't want to be ourselves. they should have their own idea and we respect them and understand them. I want my children to be a good person without hurting anybody possibily.They also should have their own choice for life and career.
