My Family Philosophy

As someone who respects family values, I tend to enjoy the company of family-members and are open to living a domestic life. If I have children already, I enjoy spending time with them very much and work hard to be a good parent, but may occasionally wish to “cut-loose” and let your true colors show. If I don’t have children, I probably desire having a family sometimes in the distant future. Although I occasionally enjoy cooking at home, I also like going to restaurants. This has the potential to create added stress as you transition into parenthood.

I am attracted to the idea of having a family and may be willing to work hard to achieve this, although not necessarily any time soon. This conflict is illustrated by the fact that I don’t mind doing things around the house—like cooking and entertaining guests—on the one hand. But, on the other hand, I also like going to restaurants and parties. It’s possible that in time I might prefer spending time at home more because I won’t feel like I'm missing anything when I don’t go out.

One aspect of myself that makes me likely to become more family oriented is that I generally know how to manage my frustrations and work well on my own. This means that I have some of the basic ingredients to enjoy family life. Keeping a well-stocked kitchen, and making sure the kids are safe is a tough job. So attending to these things, while also taking care of myself, may prove somewhat difficult for me.
