Not to blow my own trumpet but I would.

Overall yes, I mean there are some things I would want to improve like diet+exercise but otherwise I would be perfectly happy with a mini-me.

So far sure, but I've hardly gone very far in life only being 19 and still at Uni myself. If they failed their high school education though I would be disgusted.

I wouldn't. I've made so many mistakes in life and I've been going through so much pain and I wouldn't want any child of mine to go through the same things I have.

Hmmmm....yes and no. My child wouldn't be a murderer so that's something to be proud of.

Yes

No. I have a plethora of qualifications both academic and extracurricular but socially and emotionally I'm a stunted wreck and my family have began to suspect I have been autistic without diagnosis since birth

No as I will probably commit suicide out of lonliness one day, I would never have children to bring them into the pain and suffering of this world.

Overall, yes. I have my major slip ups like any other human but majority of the time, I do good. My mother is still proud of me despite knowing the major mistakes I have done but what is life without making mistakes?

I'll go and see my GP but I doubt it would make more people here spark to me. The way we are situated here in rooms on our own is a recipe for isolation and loneliness. :frown:

Where is the support society? It'd be nice if I could join as it was nice speaking to others in te thread earlier on. :smile:

I think I would.

To people answering this: What does it mean to be 'proud' of your child, exactly?

That's all I ask.

That you feel that their actions and behaviours in life and attitude towards both their life and the lives of others/society has been positive, constructive and if not successful by social standards of success, a legacy you could fondly remember with respect and admiration.
