DaffodilDreams Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 She has wanted to be many things over the years - some realistic, some completely imaginary. Right now, however, she wants to be a lyricist, a director of plays, a writer, and a wildlife conservationist/spokesperson-educator (like Julie Scardina or Joan Embry). She has a schedule mapped out in her head as to how she can be all things. She also wants to be in the female version of the tour de France.

It is still what I want to be although I also direct and costume design now (although not getting paid for it). Boo-Boo doesn't know. It changes from paleontologist to herpetologist to plumber.

cathmom Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 From the younger dc (8 and below): One says "I don't know." One says "I want to play guitar." One says, "I want to be a gymnast." One is too little to say anything. From the older dc (12 and up): The college one wants to be a writer and economist. One wants to be a supremely famous writer. And the other can't pick just one thing and so settled on "dog owner" - she's lobbying furiously for a dog since ours died nearly 2 years ago.

breadnbutter Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 These are all so fun to read! It's neat to see how their answers change over the years. ds10- author, illustrator and homeschooling mom. ds8- meteorologist or storm chaser. (same kid who runs in my bedroom during a thunderstorm:tongue_smilie:) ds5 wants to be a band. I think he means be in a band, but it's much cuter when he says he simply wants to be a band! When ds8 was 5 he wanted to be a soldier and an acrobat. I always thought that would be a good combination! ds1... our prediction is a stuntman based on his present behavior:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Some kind of doctor 90% of the time (the types have changed--lung transplant surgeon, gastroenterologist, brain surgeon, abdominal surgeon), but also perhaps a scientist who works with microscopes, chef, and a life guard. This is for The Sponge. The others haven't voiced aspirations yet.

But since that is not economically feasible, she wants to own a small ranch and board/teach lessons and "have a really understanding husband" (direct quote) ds8 wants to be a Marine.

Maus Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 DS8 wants to be a "train engineer" (driver) and a "train engineer" (designer). He's never wavered on this. He's also talked about his future wife since he was quite little, and even designed a Mii for her. DD6 is consistent only in that she wants to be some type of dancer (usually ballerina) and some type of scientist (usually vet, but sometimes "one that studies pancreas" so she can cure Daddy's diabetes.) (My MIL gave up a career as a ballerina to get a degree in Microbiology, so maybe it's in her genes?) DD1.5 just wants desperately to be 6 or 8, so that she can play with the big kids.
