[quote=Anonymous]How do you advise anyone even your kid about what to do and who to be?  Is t the point to raise at independent person as a parent?  Whatever my kids want out of life as long as they are not breaking laws or hurting others, themselves abs making a living enough to support themselves is fine.  Kid wants to be a garbageman? Fine. As long as he's healthy and at peace with himself, why is that bad?  Kid wants to be a Dr with a zillion dollars in school loans?  As long as she is aware of the reality and has a plan to live with the debt and it's worth it - go ahead.  I mean, it's impossible to guide your kids to the "perfect" life of happiness and bliss.  There's gonna be some low point and sacrifice in life because it's a long path usually and you may change your mind at different times in how you want to live.

The best advice I tell my kids when they ask us to throw it back to them and ask them what they think will be good for them.  Be true to themselves and not do anything for money or think it's a job or career is permanent.  That's what I wish someone told me.  Figure out what they are good at and what they like to do - figure out how they want to live is all there is.  The rest comes. [/quote]
