The kid I desired When I was younger, I dreamed of having the ideal family. a household free from conflict, disputes, and, most crucially, criticism. I desired a loving, joyful, and supportive family where everyone helped and supported one another. I desired the kind of family for which I had always wished. I was determined to make my goal a reality as I grew older and had to confront the harsh realities of life. I was aware that if I was prepared to put in the time and effort, I could have the family I wanted. But I soon saw that having the appropriate child was just as important to building the ideal family as having the right people in the right places. I wanted my child to have the same principles, ideas, and values as me. I wished to have a gentle, kind, and understanding child. I desired a fearless, powerful, and self-reliant child. The ideal child was difficult to locate.
