[quote=Anonymous]I raise my kids to make their own decisions. If they decide to take up a trade or retail instead of a white collar job, how exactly am I supposed to stop that, considering they’ll be legal adults? I want them to be happy and able to take care of themselves. If that means working with their hands, creating art, healing people, teaching, doing research, fighting fires, or staying home and raising children (assuming their partner is supportive and they can afford it), as long as they’re happy with their decision, I’ll be supportive. If they find themselves in a place where they’re unhappy with their career choices, if I’m in a position to help them change it, I will. If I can’t help in a practical way, I’ll at least provide emotional support. I won’t say I told you so or favor one child who chose a more lucrative career than the others. [/quote]
