Most Parents Don't Want Their Kids In Politics

Most parents encourage their children to follow their dreams and be successful. However, it turns out that fewer parents want to see their kids grow up to be president. A Gallop poll released last Friday shows that by a 2-to-1 margin, parents no longer want to see their kids grow up to be politicians. Apparently, the margin is slightly higher when respondents were asked about a daughter going into politics, as opposed to a son. Thirty-seven percent of parents said they would like to see their little girl grow up to be a lawmaker, while only 25 percent hope the same when asked about their son. Researches suggest that the 12-point gap is about gender equality, and parents of girls were more inclined to see their child as a future leader.
