So, how's it going? Are you living up to the expectations you have of yourself? Your parents? Your significant other?

I don't think I live up to anybody's expectations of me. My parents always seem disappointed by me. I never made it to college and now I have health problems that prevent me from working or driving. My husband is disappointed because I can't help provide for my family or drive a car. He wishes I could contribute more and not be so sickly.
I have never met my own expectations. I always expected that I would at least have a job...and a job that helped me use what I see as my strong points. Thanks to my medical issues I can't work at all. I am totally dependent on my spouse and I hate that. I want to know that I can be self sufficient and provide for my kids if I ever needed to. If something were ever to happen to my husband I don't know what I would do. I feel like I have become my mother in some aspects as she couldn't drive and she didn't work either.

It's going ok, thanks for asking. I'm not anywhere near what my expectations were for myself. My parents are irrelevant as it's MY life. My significant other is also irrelevant. My expectations have been drastically revised as a result. So, according to the new and revised expectations, I'm doing just fine.

The only expectations I care to live up to are that of Jesus. There are certain things the bible says to do, and that is what I try and do. If my parents don't approve I don't care as much because they are not giving me eternal life.
Happy Holidays

Am I living up to the expectations I have ordained for my self? Yes and I have surpassed them.
I never try to please other people in that way. True they are a part of me - they are not me; only I know what is best for me.

I'm mildly living up to my own expectations but probably not to my parent's they expect me to be a red blooded, normal, straight, average person who does average things. I'm too werid for them, but they're too average for me.
