Is it normal to have low expectations in life?

I thought from your heading you were going to say that you wanted to lay in front of the TV all day and eat potato chips. Wanting to have a family is a wonderful -- and ambitious goal! Being a parent is a tough job, and if you create a strong family with strong kids you are helping the world. I know a lot of women with careers and high degrees who have chosen to stay home part time or full time to be with their kids before they start school. (And of course there are dads who do so as well.) Some want to but can't for financial reasons and some never consider not working full-time. It's a wonderful thing that we have options. But don't feel down on your future aspirations. I would, however, continue collecting some work skills or education in the meantime....

That depends, are you too afraid of failure to try anything, or do you really want to have a family? This is a noble goal as long as it isn't just the default option.

Yes, because 90% or more of your friends will fail anyway at least your goal is logical. You can prepare for your life instead of being disappointed and throwing it all away

Not at all. Life's meaning is founded in simple every day happiness; not in profound ambition or career.

Thank God you do. Being married and having children is the most normal thing in the world. Don't ever put yourself down for aspiring to that.

I'm a stay-at-home dad in a society where a man's worth is often measured by his ambition and his ability to provide. I am able to provide a safe home for my children to develop, and my ambition is that my sons grow to become better men than I. It may not be glamorized by media and society, but it's the most normal desire one could possibly have. A family is not a consolation prize that you settle for if you fail to achieve your first choice.

that sounds boring..
