Follow in My Footsteps	comment	Parents often want the best for their children. It's only natural. Unfortunately, some parents take this to the conclusion that "whatever worked for me will work for my kids — end of discussion" — so the kid will find themselves being groomed and press-ganged into stepping into their parent's shoes, whether they particularly want to or not. This is particularly the case if the steps in question lead to the Family Business, and especially if the parent is a Self-Made Man (or woman). Thing is, the kid usually has their own ideas about what they want to do with their lives, and following exactly in their parent's footsteps isn't (always) part of the plan. This can often lead to tension; the kid wants to live their own life, but at the same time, family loyalty is an extremely strong thing to overcome and they don't want to disappoint their folks, either. So a choice has to be made; will the kid let themselves be pushed into a life they don't want to lead, or will they attempt to break free and be themselves, and risk losing their parent's love?note In some cases, there are some who are able to Take a Third Option. For extra irony points, the kid may have a sibling who wants nothing more than to take over the Family Business, but because they're younger than the protagonist (or female) they don't have a chance. Unfulfilment all around! In the case of the older (or just male) character being expected to take over the Family Business he's the Rebel Prince. The result is usually one of two standard outcomes. In the happier ending, the parent — although disappointed — accepts their child's decision; you have to Be Yourself, after all, and it's ultimately their child's decision what to do with their life. Variably, in these endings the parent may also be astonished that their kid was so torn up about it — they aren't Control Freaks and it's not that big a deal to them, and ultimately their child's happiness is what concerns them most. They may even have been working under the assumption that the kid had their heart set on inheriting the business, which was why they were so enthusiastically pushing it on him. Often in this kind of ending when the kid decides to agree to take over, the family comes to an honorable compromise that allows the kid to pursue his own interests to a reasonable degree. Less happily, if the parent is a Control Freak who has to micromanage their child's lives, they aren't going to take it so well. Cue Parental Issues. And frequently in these cases, you'll be hearing a cry of "I Have No Son!" before too long. Owing to traditional family roles, the parent and child in these cases is usually (but not always) male. May overlap with Honor Thy Parent, as the parent can leverage this belief to insist that imitating them is the Sincerest Form of Flattery. See also Turn Out Like His Father, Fantasy-Forbidding Father and Following in Their Rescuer's Footsteps. Contrast with "Well Done, Son" Guy, where the child really wants to follow the footsteps to earn praise and approval from their parent, and Following in Relative's Footsteps, where it's the character's own choice to take up a relative's career simply because they want to. Also contrast Evil Parents Want Good Kids, where parents want kids not to turn out like them, often because they didn't succeed by being evil.

When her mother finds out that her hands that had been used to create beautiful works were now stained with oil and rust, she literally passed out. However, Hana only half defies her mother in this: she does indeed want to continue her family's school, but she feels that she can only improve her art by stepping out and trying something new... like operating a tank. Her mother then kicks her out, only recognizing her after she demonstrates the fruits of her choice with a piece that she deems truly worthy.

Follow in My Footsteps / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade Niime and Hugh have this dynamic, even though they're grandmother and son (both of Hugh's parents being dead). Niime is incredibly upset on learning that Hugh became a mage, referring to the "stench" of anima magic, and would like nothing more for him to become a shaman despite that being impossible. In the prequel, his father, Canas, muses that baby Hugh doesn't seem to have the talent and wonders if the family tradition of being a shaman will end with him. However, he's still clearly fond of Hugh and doesn't resent him for it. Fire Emblem: Awakening: It's specifically noted that Kjelle and Noire's mothers inverted this, as Kjelle didn't have the prowess in horse riding she'd need to be a Cavalier like Sully, and Tharja knows Dark Is Evil and doesn't want Noire to be corrupted by it like she had. Severa deliberately averts it too because she has issues with her mother Cordelia. Gameplay-wise, many of the second generation characters (aside from the above) share the same starting class as their mother, the exceptions being Brady (Troubador is gender-exclusive), Inigo (his mother is a special class), and Owain (too Hot-Blooded to make an effective Priest). Oddly, Morgan, despite his/her intense desire to follow in his/her parent the Avatar's footsteps and become a Tactician, only starts as this if his father is Chrom or Walhart or her mother is Olivia or Lucina, otherwise starting as the starting class of the other parent. Fire Emblem Fates: Averted with Ophelia. Ophelia is very eager to follow in her father Odin's steps and become a 'Chosen One' and Odin is so happy that she wants to. Asugi plays this straight. He has little desire to become the next head of the Saizo clan, to the point that he changed his name to Asugi (he was initially named Saizo), as he felt that he and his father have nothing in common. Saizo eventually accepts that Asugi has his own sense of honor and own way of doing things and releases him from the pressure of becoming the next Saizo. However, if he achieves an A-Support with Asugi, Asugi will decide to take up the Saizo name after all. Sure enough, all his endings note that while Asugi disappears from historical record, the Saizo name continues to live on for 100 generations. Nina inverts this: she wants to be a thief like her father Niles, and is hostile toward her father because he doesn't want her to go down that path. She's a lot more understanding when she finds out he became a thief because he had to in order to survive, and in all her endings gives up her thievery for philanthropy. Fittingly enough, Asugi and Nina can marry in the Revelations path. Gameplay-wise, much like Awakening, many of the second generation characters share the same starting class as their father (or mother, in a Male Kana's case), with the exceptions of Midori (prefers medicine), Forrest (because Real Men Wear Pink) and Percy (canonically given a pet dragon that he learned to ride). Shigure is a special exception as he inherits his mother's secondary class, as no matter what Azura will be his mother, but her class is a special class so can't be inherited. Shiro is an odd case. In the main story, he's a Spear Fighter instead of a Samurai like his father (presumably) was, however, in the Heirs of Fate DLC he's a Swordmaster like his father was. No explanation is given on why he was a Spear Fighter (the DLC reclass can be explained by him inheriting his father's sword Raijinto).

Follow in My Footsteps / int_22e860f4	comment	Shawn and Henry's relationship in Psych is something like this; Henry wanted Shawn to grow up to be a cop and follow in his footsteps. Shawn had other plans, eventually growing up to be a complete slacker. Unfortunately, Henry is a "Well Done, Son" Guy and didn't take this well, to the extent that their relationship is strained at best (and is implied to have been estranged at some point). Of course, Henry's ambitions weren't helped by the fact that he was a bit of a Control Freak who subjected Shawn to a junior version of the Training from Hell at an early age to ensure his goals, to the point where Shawn's grandfather, also a cop, disapproved. Despite the hellish training, Shawn was perfectly happy to become a cop and make his dad proud...until his parents split up and he blamed his dad for it.

One of the main villains, Jeremiah Surd, tries to trick Jonny using this argument in "Thoughtscape." He creates an illusion where Dr. Quest (Jonny's dad) tells Jonny how disappointed he is in him, and how Jessie (one of Jonny's best friends) is much more attuned to his own interests (namely science) than him. Jonny breaks down accordingly. Fortunately for everybody (except Surd), Dr. Quest really doesn't care what his son does so long as he's happy, and will always be proud of him, so the illusion is eventually broken.

Jelrod would cry until Croll took it away, and when he got older, he got into racing and enjoyed it. Jelrod wishes that his father would understand that he has his own dreams, and he hopes that he'll make racing his full-time job someday.

This is also why Eugene shows Parental Favoritism for Roy's sister Julia; she's also studying magic, so Eugene (According to Roy) doesn't use the phrase "crushing depression" when talking about her.

Of course, here, the term 'family business' has different connotations. He states that he didn't want Michael to arrange for strings to be pulled, but to be the string-puller. Senator Corleone or something along those lines. The second movie, a flashback shows the sons discussing Vito's big plans for Michael, so it sounds like he only wanted someone he could trust high up to help the family business, rather than wanting Michael to escape crime.

Follow in My Footsteps / int_6274e926	comment	In the late Jem episode, "Riot's Hope", we learn the backstory of Rory Llewellyn (AKA: Riot of The Stingers): his father hated having his son learn music, and constantly pushed him to join the Army, like he did. Riot did join, but was dishonorably discharged after he went AWOL, and the tension finally exploded when the father declared that he had no son, and banished him from the household. It finally took Jerrica Benton (as Jem) to convince them to make up, and for the father to at least try to understand his son. note Especially since their animosity was part of the reason Riot's mother ended up in the hospital... and why they both almost lost her. Eventually, Riot's father shows up at one of The Stingers' concerts, pretty much accepting the path that his son decided to follow. This episode notably features a Dark Reprise of "Take It Or Leave It", one of The Stingers' songs, which had been used in a previous episode to establish them as selfish and uncaring. A later (new) song, "Let Me Be" basically sums up Riot's feelings about wanting to "follow [his] own star".

Follow in My Footsteps / int_67ce5a04	comment	Fire Emblem Fates: Averted with Ophelia. Ophelia is very eager to follow in her father Odin's steps and become a 'Chosen One' and Odin is so happy that she wants to. Asugi plays this straight. He has little desire to become the next head of the Saizo clan, to the point that he changed his name to Asugi (he was initially named Saizo), as he felt that he and his father have nothing in common. Saizo eventually accepts that Asugi has his own sense of honor and own way of doing things and releases him from the pressure of becoming the next Saizo. However, if he achieves an A-Support with Asugi, Asugi will decide to take up the Saizo name after all. Sure enough, all his endings note that while Asugi disappears from historical record, the Saizo name continues to live on for 100 generations. Nina inverts this: she wants to be a thief like her father Niles, and is hostile toward her father because he doesn't want her to go down that path. She's a lot more understanding when she finds out he became a thief because he had to in order to survive, and in all her endings gives up her thievery for philanthropy. Fittingly enough, Asugi and Nina can marry in the Revelations path. Gameplay-wise, much like Awakening, many of the second generation characters share the same starting class as their father (or mother, in a Male Kana's case), with the exceptions of Midori (prefers medicine), Forrest (because Real Men Wear Pink) and Percy (canonically given a pet dragon that he learned to ride). Shigure is a special exception as he inherits his mother's secondary class, as no matter what Azura will be his mother, but her class is a special class so can't be inherited. Shiro is an odd case. In the main story, he's a Spear Fighter instead of a Samurai like his father (presumably) was, however, in the Heirs of Fate DLC he's a Swordmaster like his father was. No explanation is given on why he was a Spear Fighter (the DLC reclass can be explained by him inheriting his father's sword Raijinto).

Luckily, his father's an understanding sort, so when he finally plucks up the nerve to confess his feelings about the subject his father's biggest annoyance is that he didn't take up a chance to sell the business the previous year because he was under the impression his son had his heart set on taking it over.

Paul's father didn't ask Paul because he knew his son had his own life. Paul is nonplussed - he didn't want to go into sporting goods, but he assumed he would be asked, and maybe even guilt-tripped into it.

Quain'tana was born on the street with nothing to her name and built her way up to one of the most power leaders in the world, and wants Ariel to do the same, starting her at the rank of a grunt. After a 15 timeskip this has been semi-successful, but Quain had previously gone through at least three heirs (one who hates her, one who seemed alright before got possessed, and one who was a failure all around) meaning that she's so far only been halfway successful at this strategy, and her other parenting skills or lack thereof put her far into Abusive Parents territory.

Follow in My Footsteps / int_c62995ba	comment	In Child of the Storm, doing this or not doing it is the source of much of the dysfunction in the Carter-Danvers- Rogers family: Alison followed in Peggy's and Steve's footsteps as a SHIELD Agent and Living Legend and pushed her children into doing the same. Her son, Jack O'Neill, Jumped at the Call, but her daughter, Marie, didn't (she wanted to "make good" rather than fight evil, something cemented by the Cold-Blooded Torture her brother suffered in the Gulf). This led to a significant rift after Alison pushed too hard, but they eventually reconciled... Then Marie's daughter, Carol, turned out as a "scrappy little warrior-maiden", following in her uncle and grandmother's (and great-grandparents') footsteps. Marie tried to push her daughter away from the Call to Adventure, creating another rift — though thankfully, she realised what she was doing sooner, and chose to accept Carol's choice and be proud of her.

Severa deliberately averts it too because she has issues with her mother Cordelia. Gameplay-wise, many of the second generation characters (aside from the above) share the same starting class as their mother, the exceptions being Brady (Troubador is gender-exclusive), Inigo (his mother is a special class), and Owain (too Hot-Blooded to make an effective Priest). Oddly, Morgan, despite his/her intense desire to follow in his/her parent the Avatar's footsteps and become a Tactician, only starts as this if his father is Chrom or Walhart or her mother is Olivia or Lucina, otherwise starting as the starting class of the other parent.
