Would you rather be a child of a premier league legend or the parent of one? Why?

I’d rather be the parent. I have no desire to live a celebrity lifestyle. I wouldn’t want the upheaval to a normal life that comes with a parent constantly travelling for work. You can’t win in terms of your own path in life: if you choose a celebrity path there’s immense pressure to live up to your parent’s success and constant nepotism comments regardless of how good you are, and if you choose a normal life people would still comment constantly. Assuming I’ve done a good job as a parent, my kid would probably pay off my mortgage (assuming we’re talking “money is meaningless” levels of success) and that would be enough for me. I’d be happy to be on the fringes of that life, keeping them and their kids grounded as much as I could.
