Parents: Have you caught yourself encouraging your child to participate in something you wouldn't have been caught dead doing at their age?

Asked by cookieman (41610points) September 28th, 2016 from iPhone

Today I caught myself encouraging my daughter to run for class office. I had solid reasoning and urged her to think about. She wants nothing to do with it. Thing is, neither did I when I was her age — or ever for that matter. I thought it was pointless and self-indulgent.

When then would I encourage my daughter to participate? I’m clearly a hypocrite.

Have you done something similar? Tell us about it.
