Search Results: wanting freedom

I have always dream of being a parent and raising my own kids.

However, recently... all I can think about is what type of parent I want to be. As an Asian, I grew up in a relatively strict household. I got scolded and beating but so far... I'm not sure if it has affected me as an adult.

I want to impact my kids positively... allowing them to grow up with freedom and confidence but also distinguishing what is wrong and right. Which method do you think is better?

I am only afraid that by being fierce (option A), it will make them feel insecure and rebellious or even growing up abusive and violent.

I follow approach B, it might not make such an impact and might raise them being complacent, thinking that by doing wrong... they might not be afraid of the consequence as I did not "punish" them enough. Or even growing up spoilt.

I want my kids to grow up being loved, having a lovely childhood and growing up well thought and groomed without emotional scars. Do you believe in caning or physical forms of punishment?

I'm a 24 yr old premed applying to med school this year, entering school in Fall 2021. I have 14 months of 'freedom' left. Long story short, I've read that female docs have difficulty marrying if they wait til after school to prioritize relationships. What is the best way to about finding a long-term bf/fiance? Another goal of mine is to learn about investing in stocks, and become a content creator, and I also really want to get a job after COVID, to save as much as I can to invest into index funds. I have 0 debt from undergrad, and may graduate med school debt-free (if I get into my state school). I'm trying to learn about finance now so I can set up my future financial security. I also think now is an ideal time to date. I hear all this stuff about how a women is most desirable in her 20s, xyz... I often get mistaken for a high schooler though, I look quite young for my age but still. I know fertility decreases as you age, etc. I read an article which featured comments from female physicians who regretted waiting so long to prioritize relationships. I also read articles stating that men don't want someone who makes more, so my hope is that I can find a man that makes a good amount, because I won't be having any income in med school, or residency (50k before tax, I think), so hopefully even though I'll eventually make 6 figures, he won't be scared off. Oh, I should probably add that I'm an abstinent Christian who doesn't believe in cohabitation. So the 'stakes' are higher for me to choose the right person, because I won't get to see them 'at their worst' or 'in their natural habitat' before marriage. Any tips? Should I 'target' a 30 yr old, a 34 yr old? Should I try to just look for people my age? Where should I be meeting people who are looking for long-term relationships/marriage? And my church doesn't have eligible bachelors, it's family-dominated.
