when the kids grow up..

I ask this becuase my parents are in a Nadia bashing mode. you see my entire life for as long as i can remember i have wanted to be a mom and wife. not a doctor or carrer woman or anything like that. I wanted to have a life similar to the days of old. They are so mad that i want to not be those other things. they bash my job and my life and so I'm thinking I would never do that to mya. I want her to be happy and be whatever she chooses. so I was wondering your opinions..?

kit_kats_mom replied: pole dancer, prostitute, drug tealer, evil mastermind....that's about it.

TheOaf66 replied: I say my boys can be whatever they want...

as long as I approve

mom2my2cuties replied: Lets see -

Pornstar (although I am fairly certain my resident nudist has her own thoughts about that one)

Drug Dealer

Prostitute/Pimp

Gambler

Exotic Dancer (Again resident nudist has her own opinion on that one)

Calimama replied: I just dont want to see her doing something harmful. I could live with it if she was an exotic dancer, honestly, it wouldnt bother me, I have a couple friends who are and they are great girls.

CantWait replied: Omgosh as long as my boys take care of their family, love them, treat them with respect, and are legally working and making a decent honest living, they can be whatever they want to be.

Boo&BugsMom replied: As long as their profession does not complicate morals and values (like some mentioned above...pornstar, stripper), they can be whatever they want and I will support whatever they choose to do. If they want to be stay at home dads, go for it. If they want a full career, go for it. I only want to be a mom too....so I feel for ya and understand.

boyohboyohboy replied: I think that once they are of age, then what ever they decide to do, is their business, we can only hope to instill the values and morals to help guide them into the right decision for them..
then there is always mothers guilt to help it along, if need be...i am only kidding..

paradisemommy replied: i've instilled in taven from the start that he can be whatever he wants to be and i will be proud of him no matter what..

he told me the other day..

"mom, when i grow up i'm gonna be an army man and go fight in the war" then he paused and asked me.."mom when i'm done being army man, can i come home?" i wanted to cry right there...

oh and i'm talking legal careers here..

coasterqueen replied: I've always told Kylie she can be what she wants to be BUT and that's a big but, I will not accept her living off of the government to be something. I mean no offense to anyone on this board, I can't stress that one enough, but I will not accept it. If she wants to be a SAHM then she better find a husband who can give her the life she wants without the governments help. If she wants to be a rocket scientist then do it. If she wants to be a ballet dancer, do it.

You know my father thought college was stupid, that I should never go. He wouldn't help me pay for it either. I later proved to him that college was useful because Ryan and I make a ton more money than my parents do. They are proud that I will do whatever I have to do to provide for my family, whether that's one job or 10 jobs. I will express to my children the importance of college and that I hope they at least give it a try. There is NO reason not to.

CantWait replied:
Oh Gosh, that is just way to sweet.

ediep replied: Jason and Emma can be whatever they want as long as it is a legal career. I would prefer that they both go to college too, but we'll discuss that when the time comes.

Jason told his ped this week that he is going to be Superman when he grows up!

Kaitlin'smom replied: for the longest time Kaitlin said she was going to be a race car driver. kinda scares me. I have told her you can be what ever you want as long as its legal.

kit_kats_mom replied: actually, I've rethought my answer. My original answer is in total disagreement with my answer on the "values" post. I guess a pole dancer would be OK since it's legal but I'd probably not go around bragging about by DD's career choice either. As long as it's legal, I wouldn't disapprove. K always says she wants to be a mommy and that's fine by me.

luvmykids replied: I'm sorry they're giving you a hard time Nadia. It took me a long time to realize that being "just" a mom didn't mean I lack ambition, smarts, or skills, only that I wanted to use them on my kids I think it's noble and admirable to want to be a full time wife and mom, and not nearly as easy as some people think

sparkys2boys replied:
perfectly said!!! I agree with it all!!

ZandersMama replied: my son wants to be a dog.......................

my2monkeyboys replied: LOL!! That's funny!
As long as he does something morally and legally right and he's happy, then I don't care what he does.

My3LilMonkeys replied: As long as it's legal, they can be whatever they want. I would be less than thrilled if they chose to be a homeless bum or something, but I would support their decision.
