My daughter has turned out to be what I would have hoped for her. Honest, caring, employed and independent. Able to look after herself and her own litte house very well.

I was brought up with the old adage from my mother 'you need to have that bit of paper' so insisted she attended college to have some recognised qualification which I think has served her well.

My only regret is that as an only child with no family close by her social life developed in line with mine - a bit too quiet maybe.

My daughter was a bit of a rebellious teen, and was an unmarried mother at 17, definitely not what I'd hoped for. However, she's turned out to be a level headed, strong minded woman, and three children and a divorce later, is in the middle of a midwifery degree course at the age of 36.
She knew what she wanted, and all things considering, I'm very proud of her.

It was left to them,,,and have gone in directions that wasnt planned or I would have expected or themselves to be honest.
well pleased how their lives are but I dont claim any glory as choices were of their own.

My parents wanted us to work hard and make the best of what we have, but most importantly to be healthy and happy.

We raised our girls to be polite, friendly and hard working. All we wished for them was to have a happy life.

So far, so good *crosses everything* :-D :-D

Not sure what I wanted, Rose, but happy how he turned out.

Glad my Dad lived long enough to see him get his PhD. He works in genetic research, has a full life and is very happy. We see him quite often and he's a lovely lad.

the way you wanted?

this prompted by a conversation I've just been having, I think it's fair to say my life has not turned out the way my mum hoped it might, I 'did as she did, not as she said' lol.

I look at Dan, who is vastly different to me in his interests and is infinitely more 'laid back' when it comes to worrying and wonder whether he will 'get it right' :-)
