Making a change 👧 | Weekend-Engagement 163 [ENG]
Welcome 🙋🏻♀️!
Hello dear friends! I hope you are very well and are having a great weekend, for my part I'm fine, working with a little difficulty because my kitty loves to sleep on my legs and arms like a baby just when she sees me sitting in my work area, even so, I love that she does haha, back to the topic of this post once again I join the weekend engagement proposed by @galenkp who always makes sure to bring very interesting topics, this time I decided to choose:
📍 Making a change
If you could change something about how your parents raised you, what would it be and why?
All the topics are interesting, if you have not yet joined this contest I invite you to do so!
These are the only pictures I have from when I was a child, the first one was at my maternal grandparents' house and the second one at my kindergarten graduation.
Before I must clarify that I was a blessing, that is, I was not a planned child, on the contrary, my parents were very young, well, my mother was 17 years old and my father was 21 if I remember correctly, he was wrong, yes, we know, anyway, as my mother says I was "the guinea pig" hahaha as with all first time children parents are learning to be parents and we are learning from them, so it is logical that they make some mistakes, even so, I value and respect the education they gave me, despite many things that I can not mention here I turned out to be an excellent woman, with good feelings, respect for others, good values and principles.
Anyway, there are things that I would have liked that they as parents would have changed in my education, for example, the fact of not inducing me to learn English from a young age, that would have helped me a lot today as one of my jobs in another blockchain has to do with interacting and conversing with other users in English, thank heavens I have mastered the basics and I can defend myself, but without a doubt knowing how to speak it perfectly from a young age would have given relief, my mother knows this so my younger brother (with whom they are doing things better) is teaching him English so that he learns from a young age, that makes me happy, at least it will be one less worry for him in his future. I could see in my parents a mother who wanted to be a futurist, to start a business, to continue studying and a conformist father who did not want to know anything about any extra work, learning, entrepreneurship, or economic improvement, this confused me for a while but then I realized that there is nothing better than to constantly improve, to learn, to seek more income and never stop looking to the future, being a conformist is not in me, I want to know the world, to see what is beyond what I already know, you can imagine what it means to live with a conformist, macho and closed-minded father 😅, so even though I was someone with whom my parents were learning to be parents I turned out to be a good girl, better than they expected haha.

THANKS FOR READING! BLESSINGS!
I'm a girl in love with adventures, I love to know new places and document my experience in them, I'm passionate about photographing unique moments, cooking, positivism, dancing, fitness life and above all protecting stray kittens, they are angels that deserve a lot of love 😸.
I invite you to live all these experiences with me and learn to be better every day!
I agree with you my Ely, I wish they had done that with me too, but as you say, they were first-time parents, they were also learning.
Learning English as a child would really be a great blessing for you as an adult. I think some parents didn't see this as important before. They paid more attention to you studying, graduating and continuing to study 😄 The good thing is that it's never too late 💟
I think learning English as a child would be a big plus for us, in fact I have thought about doing it with Lionella 🙈🙈.
A parent who stagnates and clings to the familiar is extremely difficult, because what if the familiar wasn't all that good? Some carry over what they saw (or failed to see) in their own father. Obviously, I'm not specifically judging yours, I'm simply showing how difficult it can be to even turn things around at home when the root of the issue runs deep. Fortunately we all have good things, so the upbringing you were given is evidence of that. Likewise, being open-minded and resilient is very helpful for today's parents to tap into children's potential. Regards @sugarelys
Learning English from a young age would certainly have made a big difference I think, especially if you need to interact with those who speak it well.
Hello! I would have wanted to learn English since I was little but for my parents it was not so important, I started now and it has cost me a little, that's why with my daughter since she was little I put games and cartoons in English to familiarize her because it is really very important to have a good command of languages for everything. Nice to read you! Greetings 💖
Eres como Olivia, una bendición pero una bendición muy linda. Lo mismo pienso de mis papás, ojalá me hubiesen iniciado en el inglés desde pequeña, ahora es difícil aprender pero no imposible y Thefa lo puede confirmar.
It seems very considerate to me that you can understand that because you were the first daughter, your parents did not have the experience to know how to do everything correctly, but they still managed to give you a good education and a lot of love. Without a doubt, learning English is something super important and necessary and now that you know it, I know that you will do that favor to your son or daughter when you become a mother.
