... I feel like such a disgrace then

isn't this like saying "be the person your parents want you to be"?

No, not at all. It's saying that you should be the kind of person you'd want your own child to turn into. For instance if you'd want your child to be happily married or have a successful career, you should aim for that for yourself.

I was just thinking that if your parents want the same thing you want for your children, then you'd be doing what they want you to do, if that makes sense. So many pronouns.....
