My father loved me so much that he did not want me to be a laborer or anything. I don't know if it's the right thing to do - push your kids into something and then stay on them until they do it. Let them pick what they want to do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
Love your kid as much as you possibly can, and do what you need to do for your family because my situation and what I do for my kid may not work for you.
What I do, it's part of my job, but you want to bring your kids up the right way and give them everything - to be there for them and have that connection.
It's not enough to make time for your children. There are certain stages in their lives when you have to give them the time when they want it. You can't run your family like a company. It doesn't work.
It's a hard call, but I've no desire to live my children's lives. I think my job as a father is to protect them, to allow them a safe place to grow up and to teach them what I've learned.
You are a person of the greatest importance when you are a mother of a family. Just do your job right and your kids will love you.
You have to love your children unselfishly. That's hard. But it's the only way.
Every father loves their children. I love my two sons very dearly. The only thing that is important to me is that they do what they want to do. They shouldn't feel a sense of obligation.
Kids need a happy household. They need to be loved and supported in their dreams. And I don't think you can make your kids' dreams your own. They need you to support them in their dreams.
I love my children and care greatly for their future. If they decide they just want to loaf around for a bit between the ages of 16 and 25, that's perfectly fine by me. I did it, and I'm doing fine, thanks. Sometimes 'leaving kids to their own devices' is the best thing for them.
