Describe type of parents, family, wealth, social conditions you wish to be born into. This way having prior approval of desired life mistakes in DNA or parental dysfunction will be the responsibility of you as the designee of this signed agreement.

What is your criteria for family and life conditions?
 

:) I would wish to be born into a world where I am taught what to expect in life, warned of the dangers and pitfalls of childhood and young aduldhood, shown the vast beauty of the world around me, introduced to the myriad of vocations available to me.

Who's to say we didn't have a choice and we got the choice we made?

That's a horrible possibility I have considered. I would like to be royalty. That really would cover it all and I would like to favor the attractive side of the family assuming dad married a famous actress or something wonderful like that! Fun question.

It is not something to consider. You are born to your parents. They may come with or without money. They may be abusive, mean or loving and supportive. Rich or poor our parents give us life, sometimes horrible and sometimes wonderful.

I was not born into a family with money but I had a very wonderful childhood. I learned very early to appriciate the life I had been given. I was never angry at anyone's elses life, I had many things they did not even though I did not come from money. It is a choice, I chose to apprieciate what I had and see the value of it.
 
I grew up in a blue collar family that was very loving and encouraging. They encouraged us to go to college and supported our choices. I was close to both of them until they died.
 
I had the best parents anyone could wish for. They had a hard life and taught us to appreciate everything no matter how small. I've instilled these thoughts into my sons and they have learned to work hard and accept the good with the bad.
 
For the next lifetime? Parents who value self awareness and who are introspective enough to see and resolve any tendencies for mental illness.
A family who considers public service of some kind to be tantamount to paying rent for the privilege of living in society.
Parents who aspire to raising their youngsters to become adults who are educated, confident, happy and with some ambition..
A family with enough wealth to be safe and comfortable, with a few modest luxuries and able to act with charity.
And a family with some spiritual awareness of the interconnectedness of.........everything.
 
I was happy with the one I had until they started dying on me - now just sis left and we are eyeing each other up to see who goes first and even then we may not realize it might happen either too quicky or simultaneously!
 
Now I would have preferred to have had a father who was a powerful alien as did Peter Quill of Guardians of the Galaxy. That way I could keep company with a talking, genetically-modified raccoon!

In reality, I had a loving but weak father who constantly placated my narcissistic mother, striving for peace but at a price to himself and his children. I consider myself fortunate to have had one good parent who gave me opportunities, knowing of many who had not even one such parent…
 
It would've been nice to be born to parents who actually wanted kids instead of having them because that's what they thought they were supposed to do. And, you can't entirely blame them, I guess, since that's what society rams down people's throats most of the time: have kids, Have Kids, HAVE KIDS!!
 
I am prone to pessimism having zero knowledge or understanding of life different than what I have, I expect more of same.
