"Well, I don’t know. I don’t want to pass on my preferences and likings to my kids. I’d like them to figure out things from a clean slate without my opinionated views on top of it, good or bad." Actually I really would like my preferences to pass to my kids :) I have this view in my head of mountainbiking across the alps, as a family, cabin to cabin. Man that would make me happy. Sure, if they don't like it, I'm the one out of luck. I already notice that my 9 y/o doesn't really like mtb-ing with me, he does with his mother. So somehow I may already be to pushy. It's confronting. Also, I love computers (and almost every aspect about them), my wife thinks they take you out of the real life and envisions our kids as (sports) teachers or something in agriculture. Ah well, we'll see, let's give them lot's of love and some enthusiasm for certain subjects here an there and see what they choose...
