Nothing really 'forced' but my mum 'strongly insisted' I carry on with the Flute, which I'm so glad she did as I really love it now. They tried giving me... heavy advice on things like my University & degree choice, all the extra-curriculars etc but at the end of the day they said it was my choice.
absolutely nothing and I love them for it :)
so if a lil kid said they liked all kinds of junk food but wouldn't eat healthy things then you just let them get fatQuote:

my mum doesn't really push my to do much except obvious thinks like respect manners etc, but for years she wanted me to get into wanting to be a doctor or a make-up artist like she did
my dad pushes me a lot more tho but exercise, hes the main reason i was a prefect at school, go places i didn't wna go or whatever erm cant rly think of anything else
Me and my parents think extremely differently, they're a lot more chavy compared to me ;). I wish I was pushed into things. I've not been pushed into anything.
the only thing i've been "forced" to do, is come back to Guernsey so I can actually earn money. Otherwise as long as I stayed in school and ya know, did some work, they didn't mind.
no, there's a difference between cooking healthy food and forcing them to eat something they despise.Quote:

My parents are great and so supportive they've never forced me into doing anything at all
I was forced to play the cornet for 7 years because both my parents played in a brass band. It was horrible. All of my teachers were so mean to me and I just wasn't interested at all. When I quit I didn't actually tell my parents for a few days because I thought they would shout at me. Luckily they didn't and then luckily I didn't have to see the horrible music teachers ever again.
