Are your parents proud of you?

The question crossed my mind the other day.. How did your parents wish you’d grown up?

Did your dad want you to be on the football team or did he want you skate?.. your mum, did she want you to play a musical instrument or play sports?

I mean of course our parents, or I’d hope, are proud and happy of us all with whatever we choose to do. But if you think what they thought when we were first born, do you think they might be disappointed that we may not have turned out how they had hoped.

Are they happy with how you look?.. I know that some parents are quiet forward in letting some of their children know, which is, in my opinion, stupid. But if some of our parents, do you think they’re dissaproving with how we dress/look, and just don’t want to point it out due to awkwardness?..  I personally don’t think my mum likes the fact I have long hair, and some of the way I dress. She comments on how I look scruffy, and always comments on that I need my hair cut, and that I should shave.

I think without even meaning to we do end up in more or less a way like our parents want. If you think to yourself now, how would you want a child of yours to end up, you’d probably think of a younger version of yourself?.. or at least I would. From the influences from our parents we probably have ended up like a younger version of them. But with the Culture of the world changing, I feel some parents find it harder to deal with the changes than others.

I’d ask my parents if they were proud of me, but it seems like an awkward question to ask.

Any of you know, or willing to ask your parents?
