High parental expectation

Everyone at some point in their life deals with this and may not express it and deal with it. All parents have this for their kids they want them to grow up and be and act just like them, but kids do not want that they want to be their own person, make mistakes and fix them the way they know best. Everyone needs this in their life they need to mess up, it is the way of life that is how it works, and will continue you to do this until the end of time. Then you have those other parents who don’t expect anything out of you and think you are not going to become anything in life. You also have those of you who have siblings and you are supposed to live up the same standards they have or to be better than them. For some that is just too much, that can then lead to stress and depression that I wrote about last week. Parents should be supportive of their kids want them to succeed in life, but be who they are and not what someone wants them to be. Everyone is unique in their own way and wants to do their own thing in life. Everyone needs to make mistakes to have their life be theirs. Do your parents expect you to do something, but you don’t want to, but you have to make them happy. Or you want to do this and they don’t approve, because of who they are or were at that age. Then you have parents that play the card, well I did not do that as a kid, so you can’t. You have to remember what century it is and how far this world has evolved over the years. You are allowed to do more these days that kids did not do back then, that’s how it is and parents need to realize that. If you are one of those parents that do not care what happens to your kid then why did you have kids. have kids because you are ready for them, ready to be there when they need you, love them, expect them to be who they are, let them be free. If they make a mistake then guide them through it and make sure they do get through it without anything happening to them.  When you are expected of too much then you just give up stop trying and then you think they are done caring now that they know you do not have it in you, but you do push through all the parental judgment and make your life the way you want it to end up. Express yourself and let others know what you want to do in life and what you want to achieve, don’t let your parents hold you back on your dreams.
