What do/did your parents force you into?

[lawrawrrr]

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

force feeding your children something they don't like isn't teaching any valuable lesson.

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 fat

I was forced to try a lot of things, but never to stick with it if I didn't like it though I wish I was introduced to a wider range of things.

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.

I'd prepare healthy meals for my children, but I would force them to eat, for example as above broccoli if they hated it.

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.
