GTKY: Secret dreams for kiddos

[Deleted]

So tell me, what do you want your little one to be when they grow up? Or what do you imagine them to be?


Juliana is extremely good with puzzles and building things, so I imagine she'll be good with math and solving problems, so maybe an engineer?

Rosalie I don't know just yet, but she is so much like me (personality) that I hope she's as extroverted as me and end up landing an awesome job in advertising or maybe become a Broadway actress.

I don't think I've figured out what interests him yet. He does seem pensive and he likes to study things with his eyes and hands. I just dream that he will have a career he truly loves.

I love thinking about these things. Just yesterday i was daydreaming about what his first Fort is going to look like when he gets older. I am an intense fort maker. Or was when i was younger. i got giddy with excitment. Thats not what you are asking for here. LOL

I want him to be active, and be in sports obviously, but i also want him to have down time. I want him to be a football player that plays chess. LOL, i want best of both worlds! Also, I never had any as a kid because my mom put us in everything possible. While i appreciate her doing that, i really wish i had more time for independent play on my own because when i did have it, it was GLORIOUS!

Oh goodness, I don't know!! Right now he's in love with both music and dogs. So maybe he will be a musician or a vet. Or have a traveling show: Drew and his Dancing Dogs.

[The Foozzler]

Tyler is a charmer and a little bit of a dare devil. I could see him taking after his father and doing some sort of sales.

Like any good Jewish mother, I want him to be a doctor or lawyer

[Deleted]

He seems to really love other babies and kids. He can hear a baby cry or a kid talk in a busy place - he is always searching for them with his eyes! Its hilarious. Maybe he'll have tons of kids. hahaha, or a pediatrician!

[muppetinma]

Bring Auburn back into the rightful place at the top of SEC football.

Actually, I don't want him to play football. However, when you live in the south and have a big kid in a helmet, EVERYBODY thinks they're funny and suggests he play. They're all damned comedians up in here.

I don't know . . . . pilot? He LOVES looking out the window when we're driving and is obsessed with knobs, buttons, and blinking lights.

[Deleted]

I just want them to be happy and able to live comfortably on their own 2 feet.

For Adele - I could see her being an Engineer or Doctor. She is bright and sensitive.

For Tommy - I don't know yet. If he gets his dad's argumentative side - maybe a Lawyer.

[Deleted]

So lame, and cliche, but I just want her to be happy! I know everyone wants that though! So to play along, maybe a teacher. Then she would have summers off and she will get to make a difference in the world by teaching children.

[AndyCohen]

It would be fun if she played chess like her father. She's pretty serious and intense.

[Deleted]

First and foremost, happy.

I would love if he took the same journey as me. Into theatre or film production.

Or an Engineer.

He will probably play hockey and football.

But, him happy? That would make my heart full.

I would pay big money to see this.

I also can see Liam being into music. He drums on everything and is very much into rhythm and bass. I would love if he were into music as he gets older. I would live if he were an artist. I'll be happy with whatever he wants to do but I'm afraid of sports! All these new reports about suicide linked to head injuries from contact sports and what have you. Howeverrrr I'm sure he will play something so I need to get over it.

[helicase]

T is off the charts height-wise, so we joke that he'll be an NBA player.

Realistically, I would like him to have a career where he contributes to the common good. Be a scientist, doctor, environmentalist, work for a non-profit, etc.

I don't know if I'd encourage Andrew to pursue this industry, but I wouldn't stop him if he showed an interest. I just know how many holidays and family events I had to miss because I was on tour or had a show. It's not an easy lifestyle to commit to 100%, and if you're not going to give it everything, don't bother starting, IMO.

[carawestt]

Wow, that's a tough one. He's such a foodie right now that I could totally see him being a chef. Which would be awesome for my benefit too!

[Deleted]

An Olympic Gymnast

[Deleted]

Burp!

[fusion]

Jameson is SO outgoing and charismatic, we joke that he is going to be a politician. He also LOVES animals though, so a vet would be good. Anna is very shy and sweet and hard to tell right now. I am going to raise my daughters to know that if they "just" want to be a mommy, then that is ok also.

[cat19]

Lindsay is really into swimming and pretty impressive at math and science. So I say an Olympic swimmer who becomes a scientist or engineer.
Lily is so mellow and chill, but loves her instruments, so maybe a concert musician? Her grandpa would love that!

[kandrze1]

She is very busy and our doctor has always commented on how strong she is so maybe an athlete? I would love, love her to be interested in riding horses, but as long as she's happy I'll be happy I just hope she's better at math than I was.

[thedahliharpa]

I want H to go to an ivy league school where she will meet her future bandmates and tour the world as the front woman of a punk rock band while still maintaining her straight A average. She will write the lyrics which will be super interllectual and political. Is that too much to ask? I'll have to share her "rock star" video some day and this will all make sense.

ETA: She will play lead guitar, she won't just be a chic that sings. Occasionally, when she tours So Cal, she will pull her dad up on stage to play drums behind her.

[JuliaGulia]

An Olympic Horseback rider!!!! I really want her to be into horses as much as I was/are.

Love this!

C is so nosey and observant. I think he would make a good private investigator. I also wouldn't mind for him to be a doctor or star athlete.

[mamasaurus]

Right now, Babysaurus is really social. She makes friends everywhere she goes. She also loves animals and is fascinated with my ILs dogs. If this stays with her, I hope she'll do PR for the humane society or something cool like that.

[DesertMoon]

My dream for Julian since he was in my belly was for him to work for NASA. Be an astronaut or a rocket scientist or some kind of scientist. I would die a happy woman if that happened!

I'de be ok with anything he does...as long as he isn't swindling people.
