So, right now I'm watching a show on tattooing and it struck me that DD8, who is very artistically inclined, would probably make an excellent tattoo artist. I could totally see her owning her own parlor or being in high demand as an artist.

For these kids to be successful and happy, we have to release our preconceived notions of what success is and help our children overcome that as well, right? I don't want to be like my parents, who pushed me towards traditional careers, instead of urging me to follow my passion (which I finally have). And there are so many amazing people who never "fit the mold".

What outrageous or non traditional career do you think your kids would be great at?

I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...
