Conformity

When my mom and my whole family came down from Iran to here, trying too hard was one of their most critical issues, and i believe that that is one of the main reasons why my mom has let me turn into the man i am today and it is because of my grandparents.  My grandparents inadvertently pushed my mom into doing something that she never wanted to do to try to fit in with the rest of society.  However, my mom's pain has become the reason that i am parented the way i am.  My mom is never trying for me to fit in with society.  She is letting me be the person that i am and the person that i want to be and not what my parents want or what society wants.  Every generation goes through things differently and its interesting to see how each generation parents differently, maybe its physiological but who knows? how am i going to parent.
