What my parents wanted VS. What they got (Old trend?)

[squizzle]

Don’t worry parents often have a lot of expectations but it’s always fine to just be yourself because that’s all the energy you have and that’s ok! ☺️

[acriros]

I think that's what ALL parents want 😂

[xxflowers]

Honestly when I have kids I won't expect much of them and I will support them for all they decide to do .

[unsstop_]

I think we can all agree on one thing: our parents thinking we have cleansed minds vs what it actually is-

[Lydia.Mills.GachaFandoms]

What my dad wanted:
Likes country music to the point it’s all I listen to
Enjoys public school and thinks it’s the best way to learn
Wants to be(eventually would be)a at least semi-strict parent
Does chores properly without struggle
Neurotypical(correct me if I spelled it wrong)
Isn’t a “woke” person(by that I mean stays out of lgbt+ stuff till I’m above 18)
Likes typical girl toys
He probably wanted me to be a cishet
Has good mental health

Me:likes most music but likes country least(I like old country which it for the most part the complete opposite of his taste)
Has exteme panic attacks at the thought of going to school
Wants to be a gentle parent(due to my own trauma with strict parenting)
Genuinely struggles to do chores and doesn’t know how to do a lot of chores properly bc I struggle with them so much they don’t make me do anything besides pick up my room
ADHD, Autism
Knew what lgbt+ was at a young age
The only toys I’ve touched in years are fidget toys(and stuffed animals if you count those as toys)
Am a gender-fluid pan
Anxiety, PTSD, probably has depression(I have most the symptoms)

I think I just want my kids to respect themselves and that will be the only expectation I have. If we have open communication and love our kids and just let them grow, they could turn out fantastic and not feeling like they failed.

Disclaimer: no kids yet. Idk if I'm gonna have kids. Not sure I wanna but at least I won't be a bad parent.

That second description of a ‘perfect child’ reminded me of a video- “do you want other people to clean up your house for free? HAVE KIDS!”
