complete fucking opposite. i'm not going to get a divorce, i'm not going to make my kid's feelings seem invalid, i will listen (even if it's about the dumbest shit), i won't force them to like something just because "debbie's kids like those things, debbie's kids add her on facebook" etc. i will not guilt trip them. i will not take any money that THEY made. i will not make them struggle financially or mentally. i will not weigh responsibility on them just because of divorce/single parentism. i will draw a hard line between parent and friend. just because you're my parent, doesn't mean you should act like my friend... i could go on...

I had a really good mom. She was always very supportive and kind, loving and approaching everything with trying to understand it rather than dismissing it. She's the reason I'm the person I am today, well-adjusted with a positive relationship with her. If I could be even a fraction of the woman she was at my age, I'd be an amazing person.

If I became like my parents it would be suicide for me.

I have a panic attack when I think I might become like my father.

The only person I wouldn’t mind becoming is my Nan as she was like an angel, but my parents f**k no.

Neither? Im my own man. If I was like my mom, I would be an emotional mess who let my feelings dictate everything. If I was like my father, I would be very unhappy and in a job i hate

KoolKita · Answer

I don't actively try to become like my parents, I just try to become what I think the best version of me is. However, just because I'm so close to them and I grew up with them, I definitely inherit a lot of their traits, personalities, and beliefs overtime, even if I wasn't specifically going for that.

I know I am like my parents in ways but I try my best not to be like them... I take things from them they did do right with me but avoid the things they did wrong with me and my siblings..

I try to be like my mother, she’s kind, caring, and supportive. I also try it be like my grandmother too. She’s the same. But I don’t really want to be like my dad. I don’t know him well either way.

I do what I want to do. I don't care if that is similar or different to anyone.
