When I asked my dad about what he wanted/expected before I was born, I was actually pretty surprised by how simple his answer was. Other than the fact that he said that he wanted a boy (which I already knew from before), he said that he really didn't have anything specifically he wanted for me other than wanting me to be a healthy baby before I was born. When I asked him if I was more like him or my mom, he said that not only did I get a lot of my physical traits from my mom compared to my siblings, but also my personality. He said that compared to my sister, my personality and working habits were a lot more similar to my mom. And although he said that they did discuss discipline with my mom, he said it was pretty difficult when I was younger because my mom had a more "hands on" approach where she would discipline us on every little thing while he was more relaxed about it and allowed us to learn for ourselves when it came to the smaller things.
