You ever imagine to be the child of a president. If you are a child's president. You will be delighted or disturbed by the rules that must be endured. Maybe I will feel annoyed, because wherever I go will be followed by a bodyguard. How about you?

Hi Indah!.
I never imagine to president daughters because my father never want to be politician. He like peaceful and quite life.
I don't like to be people under spotlight too because its will be very depressing situation because every thing I do can be become news and I have to keep my live really clean so they will not find mistake in me than can danger my parent position. Is will be very hard to live like thats.

I wouldn't like to be a president's child. For sure, it has lots of benefits, but with those benefits comes a big responsibility and loss of freedom. The eyes of the people are focused not just to the president, but with his family as well...the judging eye of the president's detractors will be vigilant with every mistake that I can make, his supporter will expect too much from me too, and his enemies will find ways to harm his family. I am a simple person and I don't want to be in limelight too much, not especially from the light and fame of my parents. If I am the president's daughter, it will be hard to know if I am being looked upon or being commended for a job well done base on my own abilities, in one way or the other, my parent's position will influence every step may it be for a positive or negative effect. and I will never want such life...

I like to be an ordinary citizen. I get to do anything and go anywhere without being noticed and guarded. Though living in a presidential palace with all the servants to serve you but you lost your privacy. That is one thing that I would not trade with anything in this world. I treasure my private life.

indahfth I would not like it at all, being in the spotlight always, '
anything I did would hit the papers and secure service men would be tailing me all the time. Being a child should be carefree times but
being the daughter of a president would be like living in public all
the time. I would hate not having any privacy at all.

Hi indahfth~ I think that any child who's parent is the president
of their country would be very proud and would have to understand
that they have to follow the rules in order to keep them safe.
Our President Obama has two sweet young girls who he protects
most of the time from the media and only lets them be photographed
on occasion. The lead as "normal" a life as they can possibly
lead being the daughters of our President. I think that the
younger the child, the easier it is and the less annoyed that
they would be. We have had other Presidents that had grownup
children who were annoyed and did give their parents a difficult
time because they weren't happy growing up and being in the
spotlight and having to have bodyguards when going on dates!lol

I would think that it would be a difficult life to be the child of a president. This would be true of any country ine world. The children of a president or any political figures are always on display in the public eye. You never know a private life. There is always a security threat hanging over your head because of who you are. Politicians have the choice of living publicly or privately when they campaign for office. Their children do not have the choice. They are born into a world they did not choose. Some children of presidents come out of the limelight still shining. they have overcome the challenge and perservered. These children are to be commended for the way they have lived their lives.

I would also be annoyed taking my privacy from me. I want to be a free person. Free to do what I want. No one following and watching my every move. One mistake would lead to a big issue! I don't want this kind of life. I prefer to be my old self if I am to become a daughter of a president.

becoming the President's child have lots of pros and cons. There would be benefits for sure and you'd be treated nicely and with respect by the whole country. It really just pays too much because your life will be public, you'll also be around threats and would always have security beside you. people will also expect that you'll carry great responsibilities being a president's child. So, i don't think i'd like to be in this situation, but if i were i'll try to do my best and not live up on other peoples expectation.

I won't like it. Yes i could be the coolest kid in town but that feeling is lonely. People have great expectations from you, you'll feel as if everyone is watching you that you'll feel you don't have privacy anymore. You can't just walk anywhere without body guards. To me it's just like a prison made of gold.

If I become president's daughter, I will certainly known to many people and I have a lot of money. Regulatory problems and the guards I do not really care.

It wouldn't bother me if I were a president child. I know my parents (in this case the president and his wife) might be busy all the time and only have a little time for me and the body guards follow me all around but that's okay. I'll make all the things useful. When no one of my family beside me, I can do my hobbies or investigate some problems in the country. When the bodyguards near me, I think I'll stay where bad things (like bullying, gambling, etc) happened so the bad things will stopped. And I'll remind the president to take care of the country. I'll watch him so he wouldn't corrupt.

If chosen as the president's daughter or daughter of a normal person, I will choose a president's daughter. Because why? I will have better conditions, I'll be going all over the world, eat the food I like, play the sport I love, spoiled shopping...That is great! Have you ever imaged to be a president?
