I am a parent and I want my kids to make me proud.

I never understood or supported this mindset.
Why would my life be all about making other people feel proud? If my parents had me only to be a trophy of how sucessful they are, they had me for the wrong reasons. I live for me. And the only person I care to make proud of me, is me.

Do you agree?

i do not like it. but I use it. My life was headed donw som bad roads when a teen. a mentor convinced me, to "play along" untill you are olde enough to make your own way
it worked. but with a cost. I am "a credit to my family, a respected position at my school, pillar of the community"
*sigh*
so i have a separate life, for all those thing deemed unacceptable
