You'll be a man, my son Much as I like writing when it's already done and lying on the table, it needs a big deal of preparation to muster up my courage and do something of that kind. So I'm secretly happy both that today is the last day of the writing week and that I'm not out. I'd like to write a kind of a letter to my children or think in a written form of what I wish for them. I wish for my children to become innerly calm, self-confident people who won't waver in the face of problems. I'd like them to accept life as it is in all its diversity and richness but also to try and make the difference to make the world a better place in whatever area they like and choose to. I wish that they had empathy for others, even smaller creatures. I wish that they would not set limits for themselves and believe in their ability to deliver. I wish that when they felt sad or were in a quandrum they had a (legal and healthy :) way to relax and then come back and look at the problem from another point of view. I wish they never let money, other people etc. stand between them. I wish they knew that there is at least one person who is always by their side - me. Hard as I tried I couldn't outdo Rudyard Kipling )))

You'll be a man, my son

Much as I like writing when it's already done and lying on the table, it needs a [big]/great deal of preparation to muster up (my) courage and do something of that kind. So I'm secretly happy, both that today is the last day of the writing week, and that I'm not out. I'd like to write a kind of a letter to my children, or think in a written form of what I wish for them.

I wish for my children to become innerly inwardly calm, self-confident people, who won't waver in the face of difficulty/problems. I'd like them to accept life as it is in all its diversity and richness, but also to try and make the difference, to make the world a better place in whatever area they like and choose to.

I wish that they had have empathy for others, even smaller creatures. I wish that they would do not set limits for themselves, and believe in their ability to achieve/deliver/fulfil their ambitions.

I wish that when they felt feel sad, or were are in difficulty/or suffer stress a *quandrum they had have a (legal and healthy :) way/means to relax, and then come back and look at the problem from another point of view.

I wish that they never let money, other people, etc. stand between them.
I wish that they know that there is at least one person who is always/who will always be by their side - me. 

Hard as I tried, I couldn't outdo Rudyard Kipling )))   You've made a good attempt !

*  '. . find themselves in a quandary'  would relate to a situation to which you have already referred

Much as I like writing when it's already done and lying on the table, it needs a big deal of preparation to muster up my courage and do something of that kind.

> Much as I like to write, it still needs a lot of preparation on my part to muster the courage to do that. I have already finished writing about something today, and it is now lying on a table.

Much as means "although/ however much"

So I'm secretly happy both that today is the last day of the writing week and that I'm not out.> So, I'm quietly happy that today is the last day of my writing week and that I have done whatever was required of me.

I'd like to write a kind of a letter to my children or think in a written form of what I wish for them.> I had written something in the form of a letter that is addressed to my children



I wish for my children to become innerly calm, self-confident people who won't waver in the face of problems.> I wrote to tell them that I hope they will become someone who is patient and self-confident in life and not waver in the face of problems/adversities/ /life's difficulties.

I'd like them to accept life as it is in all its diversity and richness but also to try and make the difference to make the world a better place in whatever area they like and choose to. > I not only want them to respect life in all it's diversities --so to enjoy it's richness-- but I also want them to make a difference in this world, to make it a better place by doing something of their choice that they enjoy doing.

I wish that they had empathy for others, even smaller creatures. > I told them that they should have empathy for others, even for the other "lesser" creatures that share our world.

I wish that they would not set limits for themselves and believe in their ability to deliver. > I also told them that they should not set limits for  themselves, for they have to believe in themselves that everything is possible if they set their mind on it.

I wish that when they felt sad or were in a quandrum they had a (legal and healthy :) way to relax and then come back and look at the problem from another point of view.>  I advised them that whenever they feel sad or in a quandary about something, they should find some healthy way to relax themselves, without resorting to doing anything that is illegal, so they can revisit the problems from a different perspective. 

I wish they never let money, other people etc. stand between them.> I told them that they should not let money stand in between you and those people who are important to them.
I wish they knew that there is at least one person who is always by their side - me.> I want them to know that, whatever happens, there is always a person who is by their side-- me. 
Hard as I tried I couldn't outdo Rudyard Kipling )))> Hard as I tried, I don't think I could ever outdo Rudyard Kipling.

* You are their mum, so they is not need for you to "wish for " anything for them -- you just tell them or advise them.

BTW, they is a big difference between "wish " and "hope" " We use "hope" when there is a possibility of happening > I hope I will be rich one day. We use "wish" when we want something in the past or now that we want to change, but it's something that is unlikely to happen> I wish I were rich .( always in the past tense, because it indicates something that is imagined or unreal without possibility of happening > I wish you were here./ I wish it would rain ( Of course it will not happen). This is the meaning of "wish" to mean "hope, "hope" has possibility , "wish" does not.>I hope it will rain ( they is a chance it may just happen.)

In the other sense, "wish" can also mean " want to" > I wish to see the doctor (formal) or to convey greetings/regards > I wish you a happy birthday > I wish the best for him. ( always before a noun)

The word "quandrum" does not exist. Perhaps you were thinking of either or both of the words "quandary" and "conundrum".
