While reading Freud’s thoughts, I had a few flashbacks to when I was younger asking my mother if I could have something, and if she said no I would run to my dad and he would say yes. But after thoroughly reading and not trying to take any preconceived notions, I realized that this is a very old fashioned way of thinking. I did definitely agree with the thought that when you are young all you want to do is be exactly like your parents, you want to learn from them, you want to look like them you want to do what they do. But then the thought of when you get a bit older, seeing other parents and comparing them/their families to your own, “He gets to know other parents and compares them with his own, and so acquires the right to doubt the incomparable and unique quality which he had attributed to them” This happens when they are entering their teenage years and they are questioning life, how it works and how to succeed. When you are at that age, you pretty much think you are an adult, you think that anything you believe is right and you wont take any other answer. I was without a doubt like this when I was a child, and totally understand, and am a firm believer that the way parents bring up their child, act and speak around them is a huge factor on how they are when they grow up.
