What is one trait you dont have that you hope your kids do?

Question

One trait, characteristic, moral or whatever that you dont have that you hope your kids will? Mine is patience. I have a quick temper and little patience.

Answer 1

I hope my son has a wonderful relationship with God throughout his life unlilke me.

Answer 2

Not really a trait, but neither me nor my husband can whistle! lol I hope our son can

Answer 3

i hope that my kids are not shy and quiet like i was, i want them to be able to express thereselves. i want them to be able to tell me when there is something wrong or not be scared to ask for help.  i also hope they are good at math...i am not good at math

Answer 4

For me, it's athleticism.  So far all my kids have gotten this trait, but I am horrible at sports - organized or otherwise.  

Answer 5

Indecisiveness. Fear of not being good enough. Fear of taking a risk.  I want my kids to find their passion, go after it, and have no regrets.  

Answer 6

Smoke, drugs, and crime are the biggies off the to of my head after his mistake of a father.

From me my temper.  IT takes a lot to set it off, but when i blow I blow.  

Answer 7

Organization. Today this is on my mind. I know it isn't the most important trait I could pick but it is so important to me for them to have the organization skills that I so obviously lack!! Good question. Thank you!

Answer 8

The ability to calm myself down and relax. May seem a little odd, but I get worked up to easily to the point where I make myself sick. It's been this way since I was a kid, as did my father and my grandmother. I see that my oldest son is taking after me and when he gets scared or nervous, he gets all worked up. Hopefully my other ones don't take after me and stay calm like their father.

Best Wishes =]

Answer 9

My temper. I'm very patient with my son (sometimes i'm not sure how i am so patient) but i get very irritated with my hubby. I take it out on him! He's sooo sweet he loves me anyway!  

My hubby gets car sick. I hope my son does not get this from him! (anything else from him is fine though!)

Answer 10

Well first, I hope my son doesn't get my husband's and my fiery temper.  I will admit, while we are able to control it, we both have tempers.  

Other than that, we can't draw to save our life.  I hope our son has more artistic talent than we do.  Just looking at his scribbly stick figure man and house on the fridge, I think he already does.  

Answer 11

My husband and I are both alcoholic.  Don't misunderstand, there is no alcohol in my house, and hasn't been for 15+ years.  I hope they don't have this trait.  Not something I'd wish on anybody, least of all the ones I love.

That's kind of backwards from what you asked.  Let me turn it around... I hope they do not have the predisposition to addiction that we do.

Answer 12

I am pretty sure that I have achieved this with my adult children but I have a terrible time with near constant worry. It is not fun and I am sure it has to do with my personal history.......It had (has) the potential to be very damaging to my children and I am still a work in progress. It seems even harder with my youngest. I am so d**n over protective and it has been so hard loosening the reigns..........I would hate to see what stress and worry have done to by body on an MRI......if that was possible.

I did not answer your question! lol OK....a bit late.
