No new parent looks at their baby and imagines them growing up to be a disappointment. And why would they? In those early days, the future is wide open, and parents are full of hopes and dreams for their baby's future. Unfortunately, as time goes on, parents' feelings about their children can change...sometimes dramatically.
All in all, I'd say yes, I'm pretty disappointed. I have the laziest, most useless children anyone has ever seen. I loved them and took care of them, helped them with their homework, I stayed in a loveless marriage for 25 years because of them...After paying two years' tuition fees, I found out they just went to a computer café and played video games all day.
My first son listens to death metal, wears a band concert T-shirt (all black), and works as support staff at a big law firm...Did they both turn out like I expected? Absolutely! Neither disappointed me. They both have kind and caring hearts. They are honest. They don't steal. They are loyal. They are just really great men.
I have three children who are adults now, and each is self-sufficient. Like many parents, I wanted my kids to be successful, but I realize now that success means different things... I celebrate their individuality and the lives they’ve created for themselves.
