A bit of both.

=SeanMann 3 days ago

Encouraged in words to do what makes me happy, but pushed me to do what they thought I'd be good at...

~Venom-V13 4 days ago

My mom encourages me to go for what i want, my father however, well he's just an asshole!

~the6schemers6slave 4 days ago Hobbyist General Artist

Well, my mom and dad were encouraging, but the people I live with now are pushing me....

~Doragona-chan 4 days ago Student General Artist

*Zyden 4 days ago Professional Digital Artist

I was crushed under my mom's expectations. I regret everything 8(

~Noder 4 days ago Student General Artist

I was always kind of between these two ends :/

*ce3Design 4 days ago Professional General Artist

Neither. My parents didn't push me to do anything and they didn't have an agenda either.

*AFineWar 4 days ago Hobbyist General Artist

Well the question was push their agenda or encourage you to do what makes you happy

*ce3Design 4 days ago Professional General Artist

I know, but my parents did neither. They did not challenge or steer me in any direction.
