    DS6 is the only one who will say what he wants to be: a surfer and a doctor. Note that we live in a land-locked state!

    I do not know what DD4.5 wants to be when she grows up but I think I may have a future 'Judy Dench' in my hands.... This is one of the areas where she is not underachieving LOL!

    When I was 5 I wanted to be a poet and painter. Then as a teenager I wanted to be a doctor and do research. Then at the end of High School I changed again my mind and wanted to study Physics. Once I started University I toyed with the idea of changing to Mathematics but did not do it.
    I never had in my mind to be a 'housewife' but here I am ....

    Now when DS is a little bit older I would like to do ,,,, any ideas? suggestions?

    I just asked DS4 what he wanted to be when he grows up. Not surprisingly, he said he wants to create Tower Defense computer games and/or video games. And play them too. And he says he'll create them very quickly so nobody has to wait so long for the new versions to come out.

    I can't remember what I wanted to be. I still don't know! Being a mom is working well for now, though.

    I wanted to be a math teacher, until I realized I don't like more than 1 or 2 children around at a time! I'm a programmer/analyst now, but the computer industry hadn't taken off when I was in school. Only a few kids had calculators in high school, I still have my slide rule someplace. Can you believe my father-in-law thought computers were a fad just 20 years ago?

    haha, I should clarify that, I don't like being around more than a couple of people at one time no matter what their ages. I can do it, but it's a major exertion for me.

    ROFL! Maybe I should have written "Introverts of the world, go have some much-needed alone time!"

    You're on a roll today, OHG! Love that! grin
