Parenting

This week in class, we discussed the nature vs nurture debate. This debate is basically on whether we behave based on our genetics or do we behave from what we have learned through social interaction. We also read an article based on parenting and how we basically "baby" our children in todays society.
We were given four questions to ask one of our parent this week for our blog. I interviewed my mom.
Question #1: What did you want/expect for me before I was born?
My mom actually wanted me to be a girl because they had just had my older brother so they wanted a girl. She wanted me to have brown curly hair and grow up to be a doctor.
Question #2: What about me reminds you of yourself?
She said so much reminded me of her. I am a hard worker like her, i'm good at math like she is, I am meticulous and pay attention to detail like her, I'm a neat freak, and i like nice things like she does. I am also kind and helpful to other people.
Question #3: What is unique about me?
She said that I never give up and how I never let hard times interfere with my life. Also that I am the hardest working person that she knows.
Question #4: Did you and dad discuss discipline with each other? Has that part of parenting been difficult?
My parents did not discuss discipline. They did not have really have any issues with me. My pediatrician told them that they should expect good behavior right from when I was young and they never really had to discipline me. This part of parenting is difficult for my parents because they have a difficult time following through with their "threats."
