do better for themselves. Do you think you could have done things much better with your life? And in fact, you want them to be their own person and perhaps do thinks with their lives that you only dreamed about?

I want my child to be whatever he is supposed to be. I do plan to give him a better start in life than I had, and hope that will make him come out more emotionally and mentally stable than I am. But otherwise... I just hope that whatever choices he makes for himself, he is happy.

I want them to be them. I don't want a copy but an original.

My son is already an adult and I have done better in my life than he has. When he was little I did want him to do better than I but he is an adult and his own person and has made his decisions.

My babies... - My kids, my children
I definitely want them to do better for themselves than I have!! I think everyone wants that no matter how well they are doing for themselves. I think I could of done A LOT of things differently with my life and I'm trying to turn all my mistakes into good things, but it's very very challenging! I want them to have it all and do it all! I love my babies and no matter what they do or turn out to be, I will be right there for them! God Bless all the children in the world! Have a great day!

I know that I could have done better with my life if there was somebody knowledgeable to guide my way through whether in school or the roads I chose in life. As for my children, what I do is ask what are their goals and interests and what are their plans. Then I guide them through so they will be more successful.

Yes, I agree that sometimes so much potential in individuals is wasted when there is no one who recognizes their talent.
