Wedding

Hello,

Today with my friends I talked about (our) weddings and children. I know I want to have kids, and be a good mother. In my opinion, the first things that children ought to be taught about are politeness and manners. I want my children to be open-minded because if everybody is, we would have less social issues. You would probably tell yourself (you would probably think) that I'm too idealistic, but I really mean what I say.

I always think about what I want to teach my children and about what kind of mother I want to be, but strangely I never think(I've never thought) about what kind of wife I want to be!

Hello,

Today with my friends we talked about weddings and children. I know (that) I want to be a mother and to be a good one* mother. According to me [=In my opinion, I think], the first thing to teach at children is politeness and civility. I want to my children to be open-minded because if everybody is it like that [=the same way], we would have less societaly** problems. Probably Perhaps, you should will tell yourself [=think] that I'm naïve, but I really think believe in [=mean] what I say.

I always think about what I want to teach to my children and about what kind of mother I want to be, but strangely, I never think about what kind of wife I would*** want to be!

*There's nothing wrong repeating "mother" here; I just substituted "one" to avoid redundancy. :)

**Slight nuance that even native English speakers sometimes make: The adjective "social" indicates behavior in a communal situation, such as behavior around friends. The adjective "societal" is actually what refers to "of society".

***Because this is clause in an "impossible" condition (i.e., you've never thought about it), you need the auxiliary verb "would" here to indicate that it's hypothetical. This would be akin to conditionnel tense in French.
