Children's funny ambitions

[TooManyGlasses]

My DD (9) has just asked if she can be a supervillain when she grows up. Should I be worried? 

So now I'm collecting! What do/did your kids want to be? Go on, make us laugh! 

Ds aged 4 wants to be 'a big brother'.
When I point out he is already a big brother to dc3 he says 'yea not to him though, he's annoying, I want to be a different big brother'.
Not sure if I should be concerned 

DS wanted to be a chef on a pirate ship and only cook fish fingers, chips and peas.

DD said she was going to nurse us when we get heart problems and need looking after. She will never move out....

DS (6) says he wants to have a banana stall. No other fruit or veg. Just bananas. He doesn’t even eat them!

DD wanted to be a clothes designer. she is now 30 and works as a garment technologist for a fancy dress company. Currently working in China.

DS wanted to be a manager of Toys R Us. Now is a part time website designer and karate/martial arts instructor.

When my DD was about 3 she said she wanted to be a mummy when she grew up. I said “Awh, just like me?” She said “no, a mummy wrapped in bandages”. She’s now 5 and wants to be a nail designer!

Dh apparently aged 5 announced he was going to be a waiter in his own pizza restaurant. Sadly he’s now a corporate solicitor so never happened.

4 year old ds is either going to "drive aeroplanes", be a teacher or a pirate. A nice pirate though, who only looks for treasure and doesn't do naughty things.... And apparently he's not going to move out.......ever!

My brother wanted to be a radiator when he ‘grew up.’ Funnily enough he is a plumber and heating engineer 😃

Derekmorganwasinmybed my ds wanted to be yellow 😂. Then an egyptologist. Then an archeologist, hes 25 now and works in the ceramics industry.... That's as close to digging up pottery as he got 🤣

Ds2 wanted to be a pizza delivery driver as he loved pizza! (And still does...love pizza that is!)He's 24 now 😂

DD (6) wants to be a postdog. Not a post woman, a post dog.
When the postman comes if she’s home, she crawls into the passage, picks up the post in her mouth and brings it in the living room and woofs.
I worry about her a little bit...

Dd4 said she wanted to be a fire engine, I said 'don't you mean fire fighter?' Nope it was definitely the truck. Told her she couldn't actually be a thing as it wasn't alive so she decided she would be a dinosaur instead. I gave up there.
Dd6 is going to be a police officer and a surgeon and a rock star at weekends. Apparently she needs the money hence the 3 jobs.

mrsnolasco I really would not worry- I wanted to be a pony at that age. I can happily confirm that I do no tlive in a stable or eat hay. Nor do I have a tail. It will be fine. Don't worry.

My 5 year old wants to be a doctor who is also a part time nursery teacher, and a pilot on the side. She's been pretty dedicated to this plan for over a year now and tells us often. Unfortunately she doesn't show any dedication to school work in any form so I think her master plan is a pipe dream .

@Notfastjustfurious I wanted to be a fire engine when I was little! I remember having the exact same conversation with my father and brother telling me I couldn't and me not really believing them.

I've just remembered, dd1 used to want to be a beggar . Stark contrast in ambition my daughters.

My son wanted to be a businessman and a musician.

When I was little I wanted to be a princess or a post man.

My DD3 wants to be a ballerina princess with a dog called bolognaise and a cat called decorator and she wants to be married... to her dad.

My sister wanted to work in an Indian sweatshop and then wanted to be a hitman.
She had form for sneaking downstairs and watching inappropriate documentaries in the snug without anyone noticing...

My friends DS (3) wants to be a telephone

And my personal favourite a four year old I taught once said she wanted to be me when she grew up. I cried in my cupboard

I'm not really sure how this works,but I'm trying to speak to women that have infertility problems.it would be so nice to have a friend who understands what I'm going through x

Ds wanted to be an axe but has now changed it to a more realistic rockstar....

Indie1984 hi, there is a board dedicated to conception problems here
Hope that link works ok

"And my personal favourite a four year old I taught once said she wanted to be me when she grew up. I cried in my cupboard"

My 3 year old tells me she wants to be me. I always ask her, "we'll if your me who will I be then?" and she says "You'll be me!"

Ds age 7 wants to be an astronaut, police man, fireman, spaceship rider and footballer. Ds age 6 (yesterday) with sen wants to be a hero. Dd aged 16 wants to be a ships engineer- I quite like the idea of being a cat, they sleep loads!

My 2 year old dd told me she wants to be a “fire lady”. I said, keenly, “oooh lovely, a fire lady like Fireman Sam who puts out all the fires?” “No” she said, “mummy a fire lady that makes all the fires” At least my 3 yr old other dd just wants to be a dinosaur
