Your daughter grows up to be the first ever female NFL player in history when she is signed by the Seattle Seahawks, scoring 2 touchdowns in her debut against The San Francisco 49ers.

Meanwhile your son moves to Europe and joins the The Royal Ballet Theater company in London. Performing on stage in spandex at roughly the same time your daughter is performing on the football field.

How would you react?
How do you think your parents (their grandparents) would react?

I wouldn't even be mad.

I don't care what my kids decide to do, just so long as they're the best damn versions of whatever it is.

And I'm a conservative alt-righter if anything you guys say is true.

I would be super proud and supportive of my son.

I would be proud and supportive of my daughter, but also worried about CTE. Giving 100% support would require a serious talk about the risks and assurance that she wouldn't cave in to pressure to prioritize performance over her own health.

Just going to say what I know some are afraid to say.

I'd be a lil disappointed. But reactions are more complex then just the 2 reactions some seem to force into binary extreme choices.

Not being excited about it doesn't mean a parent has to go full asshole about it. Disappointed doesn't mean it's for life, or that you need to express it, or any other over the top extremes some box into 2 categories.

I'd be extremely happy that they are both pursuing and succeeding in industries that they love.

And I highly doubt their grandparents (my in-laws) would feel any differently, considering their son is happily married to a man, and they couldn't be happier about it. My parents have since passed on, but there's no doubt in my mind that they would both be ecstatic and support them 100%.

I'm not quite sure what there is to be disappointed about. The goal of a parent is to raise a child/children than end up happier and more successful they they are, and it sounds like that's exactly what happened in this scenario.

I would be deeply concerned.

Because football is a very dangerous sport with an early retirement age due to the toll it takes on your body.

Other than that, I would be very proud of my children for achieving such lofty goals and following their passions.

Be concerned for the daughter as she can get all kinds of head and brain injuries playing in the NFL.

I would be happy the son is pursuing a successful career dong what he loves as male ballet is an old profession and much safer then the NFL.

Well technically, I'm telling you raised an NFL player and a Ballet Dancer.

The rest is all assumption.

Maybe they're unsuccessful assholes who despise their careers. But it seems unlikely

Well, I have a daughter (16) and a son (14) already that arent assholes, so I cant imagine a scenario where them getting what I assume is their dream jobs would make them one.
