"He is a banker"

[user87382294757]

Getting to end of primary and some parents are moving their DC into private schools. One mum mentioned to me 'he is a banker'- AIBU to think it is a bit unreasonable to tell your child this / assume he will be this just because his dad is? I feel a bit sorry for the boy.

I personally see nothing wrong with telling a child they're a banker, doctor, nurse, lawyer, engineer or whatever.
I'd respect the mom more than if she said he was (would be) a 'youtuber', 'footballer', 'Pokemon chaser' and the other things I've heard some mum's talk about.

There's nothing wrong in 'encouraging' your DOcs to expect more from themselves.
I accept that many may think otherwise.

YABU IMO.
