I try to enjoy theirs, while exposing them to as much as possible. I don’t expect them to like what I do - that’s what friends are for. Although I hope to find at least one or two passions we can share.

When they have passions that are not mine, it's an opportunity for me to learn new things about the world and expand my horizon. The passions you have will rub off on them anyway, and it will bring new dimensions of it to your life as a parent. But I agree with @nonlinear.eth & @links: they are on their path and it's my job to help them find the path they enjoy most.

It’s really easy: it’s not about me but helping enable them to find their passions. When they derive joy, so do I

Oh they probably won’t. Or they will but in their own way. My kiddo got his love of music from me — but his musical taste is different than mine now. BUT that means he now will come to me and say “new J Cole song feature just dropped — want to listen to it?” (Which literally just happened 30 min ago) And no matter how hard I try, he just isn’t interested in blockchain/crypto etc

not a parent but, for me, i won’t mind that definitely supporting what they wanna pursue and if it doesn’t go well, i then come in to advice them on what they can do but would never force my passion on my children

I try to listen to them anyway. The other thing is not to impose my ideas. I listen to my children's ideas without denying them and try to convey my own opinions to them.

never try to force them. I share what I think is cool and if their eyes beam when we’re talking about it, we do more of that.

It's not easy. But I had to step back and think, what a minute, so, you think that the best way for your kid to succeed or enjoy a world that will be totally different than the one you grew up, is to be like you or a better version of you? Now I'm more interested in exposure (she has to be exposed to as many things as possible), and to help her get deep into her (current....) passions. Example: You say you're interested in computer games? Let's learn about their history, and the heroes and stories of the space, and the genres, and the role of people that participate in making them, the great failures, and the tech and art and trends around computer games. Play, watch documentaries, listen to the a16z podcast episode about gaming, visit museums about retro gaming, see who wrote the music of this game and what else they've written, who designed the artwork and how they got there.

I don’t have kids myself, but I can relate because of my brother’s children. It’s unfortunate when kids don’t share the same interests as you. However, if you were really passionate about something, you could have raised the child around it. An example, if you’re an artist, you might have given them a paintbrush, or if you’re into football, you could have handed them a football early on

Hmmm…ask them what they want If it doesn’t go against “our belief”, they should go for it and be their mentor.
