'''Basic Trope''': A character raises a child to not act like another character.
* '''Straight''': After Charlie dies in battle, before his son, Bob, is born, Alice raises Bob far away from military installations and does not tell him anything about his father's military career.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice raises Bob in the forest, so ''no one'' could tell him anything about the military.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice tells Bob about the military, some local installations, and some relatives who were in the military (obviously not including Charlie), but that's it.
* '''Justified''':
** Alice is terrified that Bob will die, too.
** EvilParentsWantGoodKids.
* '''Inverted''': Alice eagerly tries to mold Bob into acting just like Charlie.
* '''Subverted''':
** It looks like Alice is trying to raise Bob to be different, but then it turns out that she is subtly trying to mold him into Charlie.
** Alice made up Charlie's military career to have an excuse to control her son.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** Except then she's not.
** But she still raises him to be more cautious than his father.
* '''Parodied''': Charlie was an ice cream salesman, and Alice lives in morbid fear that Bob will be -- gasp! -- an ice cream man as well.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Whenver Bob does something, Alice immediately compares it to what Charlie would do. Then she decides whether to encourage or discourage it based on how well it worked for Charlie.
* '''Averted''': Alice is okay with him being whatever he wants to when he grows up.
%% Enforced means the trope is included for reasons OTHER THAN the author just wanting to include it.
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''': "My mom was always scared I'd turn out like my dad. I guess it makes sense. I mean, he died."
* '''Invoked''': "Do you think maybe your mom is terrified you'll turn out like your dad?"
* '''Exploited''': The Big Bad makes sure Alice raises Bob so that he doesn't grow up to be a hero.
* '''Defied''': "Nah. Bob can make his own choices."
* '''Discussed''': "The chances are that Alice will raise Bob to be different from his father."
* '''Conversed''': "TheHero will never turn out evil like his father. His mother always brings him up to be different."
* '''Deconstructed''': Alice's pathological need to [[MyBelovedSmother control Bob]] is part guilt over how she treated Charlie, part making her son wholly her own, and results Bob revolting and fleeing her. To join the army.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** She has, however, installed in him some sense, so that while he turns a soldier, he is less headstrong and survives.
** Alice does not control Bob but instead just encourages any safe interest he has. Bob does not feel especially controlled and she succeeds.
* '''Implied''': Bob asks about his father, and Alice suddenly gets very serious and refuses to tell him. The camera pauses meaningfully on what might be a posthumous medal of honor.
