Expectations

so I am taking an english class at my college and I had to write an essay about family expectations and it made me think about a lot of things...

do you think it's okay to expect your child to do the things you told them to do? what if they had other things they wanted to do, do you still expect them to drop everything they want to do for example, their goals, to do what you wanted them to do?
there's advising and guiding a child, and expecting a child to do something. when you advise a child, you are giving them advice and guiding them though the tough times, but expecting them to do something is telling them, here is what you should do, do it!...honestly how do you expect a child to become an individual and to follow their dreams when you expect them to do what you want to do...

im not speaking from experience because my parents never did that (thank god) but i know people who do go through it and its not fair.

children need their space, they need their time to grow as individuals and if you don't give them that space, they will never find out who they are....


sighh anyways i just had to get that out, i know one of my friends is going through that so i wanted to just let my feelings out
