Parenting is hard ***
Nah.
It's time consuming, and forces a rework of some priorities, but it's really only hard if you make it hard. Our instincts guide us pretty well, especially early on.
80% of this job is giving a *** about who your kid grows up to be, if can you do that the rest will basically sort itself out
I know that technically my parents wanted me to grow up to be someone else entirely, but that didn't happen
Not that I'm a *** up or anything, definitely feels good to be the best off among siblings
Well, I don't mean that in the sense of "my boy better be a doctor or he's out of the will". It's more - I want him to not be a total jackass. I want him to enjoy lots of different kinds of things. I don't want him living in my basement at 27. That kind of thing. The details of his life are up to him, it's his life.

I mean depending on who you ask they'd probably say I'm a total Jackass
My parents just had some expectations that I blatantly strayed from, but it's hard to call me the "*** up" due to how other siblings claim that title
But if they were just slightly different I guarantee you, I would be the *** up

The whole "I should have spent more time with you because then you'd be more like me" thing is incredibly disheartening to hear though.
How the Oscar blunder should have gone:

I say to hell with that. I like the Spath you are, not the Spath you could have been

It's all about effort though so I never dwell on all of the *** ups or unhealthy behavior of the past, just the effort that was/is put forth when it is.
We all have unhealthy behavior to wrestle with at some point after all.
Basically he constantly beats himself up for me not being the outdoorsy car/motorcycle nut ladies man he was/is.

Was his dad really outdoorsy too?
That kind of misplaced guilt is pretty common in your dad's generation I think. Try to think back to how boys were raised back then and how the world behaved etc
Vastly different society and emotional capacities for men

You could say he was outdoorsy.
Dad always has been and will continue to be a very stubborn man, even by my standards. He will accept technology if you talk to him for an incredibly long time and it somehow fits his needs perfectly, but otherwise he will essentially damn it to hell anything else. It's even worse if an error arises as he's one of those folks who doesn't think it can ever be his fault, and mom was the same way. Which is why they're not together anymore.
Even now I have to struggle to remind my mother she's not the wiz with technology she might think she is and that sometimes she needs to let someone else step in to help.
...
Basically my family is full of stubborn people... But some are at least stubborn while accepting some good things.
Then there's this ***.
I'd say today the biggest thing about raising a child is to make sure they're not internet addicted since a young age. Doesn't matter if you're an introvert, you need to go outside and live the real life.

I'm still curious of that's what I look like from the outside.

I am not addicted to the internet.
