Do you not live up to your family’s expectations?
If you have any sort of parental figure in your life then you’ll be able to relate to today’s topic: not living up to your family’s expectations. While I’ll mostly refer to parents, this could be anyone from your sibling to your great aunt overseas.
Why do my parents have different expectations of me from them?
What matters is how you solve with the situation. Their expectations are usually coming from the right place, they just want you to succeed or be happy. It might just be that their idea of what that looks like is very different from yours. Or, it might be related to their expectations of themselves.
How do I talk to my parents about my midweek routine?
Pick your moment, find a time when your parents/carers are free and chilled. Midweek can be a chaotic time, between work and school, everyone is a little fried. Tee up a quiet half hour on the weekend and tell your parents you’d like to have a talk. Explain that you’re worried you can’t meet their expectations.
Are your parents holding you back from your dreams?
In fact, oftentimes they will be the first ones to HOLD YOU BACK once your dreams start to diverge from their expectations. Naturally, they will try and talk you out of what they think is NOT right for you. It happens in every family. But today, I want to give you a little extra motivation to pursue your own thing, WITHOUT causing too much drama.
