Both of my parents are in performing arts. As result, they had done everything they only could to push me in stable reliable ... financial services career. Yeah, that went well
On serious note, I did obtain more degrees than I care for, had rather successful run at it until i burned out from stress, backstabbing and general rat race. Thats when they both admitted that they should have never stood between me and my dream.
Today I am taking a stab at being an artist and although it is still an expense rather than income item in my balance sheet, haven't been happier in years!
Ok, I mainly watched the Emmys because I have a huge crush on Jjimmy Fallon and find him absolutely charming and hilarious.
If you watched, you saw how a few times, the nominees were asked a question before the winner was revealed, and this one was asked more than once:
"What did your mother want you to be when you grew up?"
This question threw me off a bit as neither of my parents ever pushed me to "be" what they wanted, rather they were supportive of my life and career choices for as long as I can recall. But now that I think back to undergrad, one of my sorority sisters had her parents plan her major for her--including her class schedule!
So I wonder how many of you ladies and gents here had a mother or father who wanted you to be XYZ and you felt pressure to fulfill that goal? If you didn't aspire to their dreams, did any family tensions arise? Did anyone deliberately rebel because of your parents' dreams for you?
My mom never pushed me to do anything, she let me make my own decisions. She accepted what I wanted to do in my life, and whether she approves or not, she never judged me and always loves me..

My Mom must have told me a thousand times as a child, when I grow up and leave home,no matter what, I MUST ALWAYS "try" to do, what makes me Happy.. My Dad wanted me to be an attorney.. I discovered girls and how Happy they could make me feel ,when I was 13. When my Dad saw all the time I was spending with the girls, he was furious, said I had too much bloomer dust in my eyes, and it would ruin my future. I am glad I listened to my Mom.. All of the girls I know talk bad about their attorneys,and all the attorneys I know rarely have GFs. Life is Good. Sincerely ...Thanks Mom.
Who was that xxx porn star with David Letterman gap in her front teeth who did a whole big interview exposee show on mainstream TV with either Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters or some other overpaid talking head.
She was crying and moaning about the porn industry and how terrible she felt. She went on to become a huge star and started her own company. Well ...
She wanted me to be happy, in whatever I decided I wanted to do when I grew up. I'm successful now, but I haven't grown up yet, and I've had my aarp card for a few years.
...all of us had pretty supportive parents and even if they pushed us into something we weren't crazy about, we are very happy pursuing other things now. I think that's wonderful and I'm also very grateful to my parents for molding me into this woman I now am.
