Answer 2

If you are already a parent just like me then you know that our parents want us to be safe from any harm and so imposing discipline on ourselves. Sometimes by doing this we as children thought this is a form of restriction or worse an imprisonment. What we do not realise is that parents wants us to be protected the same way that their parents have protected them. When we reach our right age (mature age) then we can do whatever we please but until then our parents want us to follow every command.

Answer 3

As a parent of a 15yr old son......I want him to do what makes him happy in his life (careerwise) and I want him to be a good citizen (that he treats others like he wants to be treated). So far, so good! All the rest will fall into place. Mostly, I want him to do what he is passionate about in life.....like I have done.

Answer 5

Depends on the parents!

Some parents want their children to grow up and lead productive, self-supporting and as far as possible happy lives. In order to achieve this, they conduct their family life in such a way that the children learn to respect the parents and other siblings, and to accept that they can't always have what they want. In this way they learn self discipline, self control, and mature into responsible adults. These parents really understand what it means to "love" their children. They recognise that no two children are the same, they all have a character and personality uniquely their own, and when they grow up, the parents are pleased that they choose a career, a lifestyle, a way of living that appeals to them. They love them, they guide them, and they set them free. They have provided the initial guidelines and structure within which the children can grow and develop to maturity.

Some parents shower their children with material goods because they didn't have many of them when they were growing up. Sometimes they do it because they're both in full time employment, and have little time to spend with their children. They give them things, instead of time and attention. But if they do that to excess, and don't take time to teach their children how to become adults capable of living disciplined and focused lives of their own, the children learn that life consists of possessing things, of getting what they want. They don't learn about consideration for other people, and they tend to be selfish and self-indulgent when they are grown. They also learn that "love" itself consists in giving things to people, not in giving oneself.

Some parents just want a quiet life, so they give in to all their children's demands, and end up having inconsiderate, irresponsible children who cause them nothing but trouble. They teach their children to be users of other people, because there are no consequences if the child misbehaves. When they are adults, they are totally self-centred.

Some parents guide and mold their child's character to be a carbon copy of their own - and are very alarmed indeed if the child grows into an adult who completely rejects their outlook on life, their beliefs, and their goals. These parents are selfish because they don't recognise that their child is a unique individual, with aspects of character that are similar to their own, but having a view and approach to life that is theirs alone.

Some parents produce children without any regard to the responsibility that this puts on them, and they never trouble their heads about it. They allow life to "happen" to them, they have no structure or principles that guide their lives, and they not only can't offer these to their children, they have no interest in doing so. Their children bring themselves up, making what they can of lives that have started with a major handicap - their parents are there, physically, but mentally and emotionally, they have no parents.

There's a few possibilities for you! Take your pick.

Answer 6

I've already told my daughter that I want her to be a huge success in her field so I can move in when I retire and make her life a living hell just like she did to me in her teenage years. She's been really nice to me the past couple of years.

I think she's just scoping out homes she can stick me in.

Answer 7

Most parents just want their children to be happy, trustworthy and successful in life.

Answer 8

To leave home before we are 30.
To marry a nice girl / guy.
To stay out of trouble.
To become financially secure (so we don't keep hounding for money)
To provide us with grandchildren.
But most of all they want us to out live us and be very happy!!!

Answer 9

You always hear they just want you to be happy. But, I think they just want you to be happy living the life they want you to live. That and they want you to share the religious and political beliefs. Because no one else really cares what they think about those things. They think they've done their job if you think like them.

Answer 10

Learn how to make choices in your life, be satisfied with what you have, and don't become a burden on society. Give of yourself more than you receive, expect no recognition for acts of kindness. Keep an open mind.."If you can't change your mind, you can't change anything"...Goethe
