What about you or your personality.....

.... would you really like to try to instill in your child?

For me I think it's kindness towards and tolerance of differences in people.... and also to not let negative people's vibes stay with her, let it go and let them go and move on with the good one's in her life... and more but those are the really important ones to me.

I think I'm a very responsible person and I would like my children to be the same, meaning that they will learn to earn their keep and pay their way. I can not stand people who are lazy or selfish and I don't want my kids to be. I also would like my children to grow up with a couple of really good friends who they will stick with and who will stick by them in return, as I have with my good friends-much better than having loads of 'mates'. I would extend this to saying that people who take from them but give nothing back I would like my kids to have the strength to get them out of their lives and stand up for themselves like me.

There are also things about myself that I don't want the kids to inherit, like my worries, mood swings, depression and over-eating haha!!

Hmmmm? I hope they will learn to recognise the value of things. ie. The relationships they have with people, be it friends, partners or family. Money. As in it doesn't grow on trees and to work hard and earn for whatever it is they need/want and not just pay 'plastic' as so many people seem to do now days. Not to take each person they meet on face value but to look deeper.

I know i will sound like i am preaching. But i feel life is a gift and i really hope, as it is so short, they will live every day to the full and to not have any regrets in life.

I have far to many qualities i really hope they don't pick up from me though!

I want my children to be honest loving free and tolerable to things,people or situations that are different to what they might think are normal.I just want them to live their life to the fullest and treat people the way they want/expect to be treated.
(i just hope they don't get my temper or stubborness LOL).

i wish my kids had my sense of urgency, but they dont!

I want her to enjoy the free stuff (kicking leaves up in autumn, sunrise, sunsets and hugs ); look for the good within everyone and have patience.

But I agree with GTTkel "There are also things about myself that I don't want the kids to inherit, like my worries, mood swings, depression and over-eating .
