Before I can answer that question I need to start by asking, "What do I expect of myself?"
I have a list of expectations!
to be happy
to take care of myself and stay healthy
to keep learning new things
to be generous not selfish
to be honest with myself and others
to take the risk for love
to remain faithful
to love my kids no matter what
I think that covers the deeper expectations and then there are the superficial ones:
I expect myself to exercise everyday, shower and dress nice, do my hair & make up. In other words I expect myself to get it together everyday.
I expect to make the bed and clean up all messes everyday.
I expect that I will be there if my family needs me for whatever they need.
I expect that I will not break any laws for any reason.
I will not let anyone speak of bigotry in my presence.
I will help you in anyway I can.
That seems like a good start, off hand I can't think of anything else.
So if I expect these (and probably more) from me, I in turn, expect the same from others.
