CHILDREN
47. Are there any traditions around the birth of a baby in your region?
Yes, there are quite a few. After the baby is born, the father will give his wife some flowers, and take photographs of the baby and her. When the baby arrives at home, the parents will make prints of its hands and feet. The prints, together with a paintbrush made by using some of the babies hair, will be kept as souvenirs.
48. What kind of parent do you intend to be?
Thats a good question. Id like to mention the following points in this regard. First of all, I would love my child unconditionally. What I mean is that I know my child is not perfect, but I will still love him/her even if he/she has made mistakes. Next, I would like to be a strict but fair parent. I will not give my child too many freedoms, but I will also try to understand and satisfy his/her needs.
49. What hopes or fears do you have concerning your children?
Thats an interesting question. What makes I worry most is that my children will have a very tough life. I wonder if they will have work to do since unemployment rate is so high even now. I hope that they will be happy. They will find a good spouse, have children and live together in peace and love, just like the ending of a fairy tale.
50. What type of culture do you want your child to grow up in?
Thats a broad question. Id like to mention the following points: first and foremost, I would like my child to grow up in a culture of love. That is, the circumstances in our home will be full of love and understanding. Furthermore, I hope my child will grow up in a culture where the finer things in life are important. Things like music, art, and studying should be part of his life from the beginning.
51. Are you going to bring your children up differently from the way you were brought up? Why?
No, not really. I believe my parents raised me well and gave me a good education. If I could do the same for my child I would be happy. Maybe I would be a bit more modern. For example, I believe my parents were unreasonably strict at times. I would try and keep a balance between discipline and freedom.
