okay, let's imagine (this is all pretend so don't post idioticness like i don't plan on having kids, mlbfan im looking at you!) you knocked this girl up or got knocked up and the two of you had twins (boy and girl)

 

 

 

 

 

you can pretend you had them at any age above 13,

 

 

 

 

 

how would you deal with it?

 

 

 

would you idolize 1 and shun the next?

 

 

 

would you teach the boy how to throw a ball as soon as he can hold one?

 

 

 

 

 

will your little girl be dressed in the latest fashions?

 

 

 

 

 

how would you raise your kids discuss?

Never will have kids, I know better.

I just want to mess with them and make them hate me. I don't expect to have a wife for a very long time.

let's pretend you do have kids

I'd treat them equally. I'd make sure they both could throw a ball and knew about fashion. I would make sure they didn't think drugs, alcohol, and tobacco are temptations of the devil. I'd educate them about sex fairly and not push abstinence on them. I'd show them how fun life can be and I'd give them everything I could.

 

 

 

I actually can't wait for kids, but I'm going to enjoy them more when they're a little older (like 12+).

I'd treat them equally, as soon as they're old enough to make proper decisions I'll let them lead their way in life, my dad has put so much control over me and my life that I hate him now, I wouldn't want my kids to feel the same :|

 

 

 

If my kid wants to wear the latest fashion I'll let them, if they want to listen to unpopular music genre I'll let them, if they want to play a sport I'll let them. The only time I'd ever interfere in my kids life if it is something detrimental to their health or the future and wellbeing of their future life.

I'd try to teach them the best they could. I'd like to think I'd let them be who they want to. Also, I'd let them smoke, but only if they smoke infront of me. [cabbage] like that. I hope. But I honestly don't know.

I think i'd most likely be someone who would love to see my children grow into independent, rational adults, since I love and respect knowledge. I'd want my children to grow into individuals, I wouldn't push my own agendas or perrogatives and would always try and respect their opinions and wishes. Generally, i'd probably be pretty laid-back and flexible with regards to most things. I think i'd always try and have fun with my kids, and get a lot out of it. I have a young niece, who I've seen grow from a tiny baby into almost a little girl now, and I adore her. But no way am I ready myself, not for a long time.

how would you deal with it?

 

 

 

I'd try my best to make sure they were happy and had the skills to live successful lives.

 

 

 

would you idolize 1 and shun the next?

 

 

 

Hell no, they'd both be my kids. I'd love different things about each of them, but I'd give them both the same amount of attention.

 

 

 

would you teach the boy how to throw a ball as soon as he can hold one?

 

 

 

No, I'd teach him how to play football as soon as he can hold one. 8-)

 

 

 

will your little girl be dressed in the latest fashions?

 

 

 

It depends. I don't want a 7-year-old daughter who wears thongs... But otherwise I'd be very tolerant about letting her express herself.

I'd beat them until they cried, then reward them and tell them crying till people cave is the only way to get things in our world. Basically set them up to drag us many people into a vortex of failure as they can.

I like sonerohi's idea. But as for me, I'd rather be the humble but firmly disciplining parent. Teach them to respect authority, not slacking on punishment (but making sure not to be abusive), making them good kids. Loving them equally. You know, the parent that raises a well-mannered child.

 

 

 

In reality, I'll probably be one of those parents who raises rather horrible kids but does all he can to fix it but fails anyway, and 30 years later wakes up each morning in a filthy house facepalming wondering where I went wrong.

I like to see how everyone talks about how they'll hardly control their children, and how they'll do everything the opposite of their parents, and how much of better lives they'll have. I think we all know we won't raise them the way we would have liked to be raised, eh? More for their own good, as my mama calls it. But, ey, who'm I to judge. A judger? Meh.

 

 

 

Sorta on topic, today I learned that I'm extremely fertile. That isn't a good thing.

you can pretend you had them at any age above 13, i want to raise my kids from little beybies

 

 

 

how would you deal with it? I'd make them look different so they have there own personality

 

 

 

would you idolize 1 and shun the next? no are you stupid

 

 

 

would you teach the boy how to throw a ball as soon as he can hold one? no duh

 

 

 

will your little girl be dressed in the latest fashions? if my boy was dressing in girl fashions i'd call a therapist

I'd be the meanest parent around...

 

I wouldn't give them a very large allowance... And whever I cooked, it would be healthy food with lots of cheese in it.. [cheese is dah calcium :thumbsup: ]

 

and I would teach them the love of reading...

 

also.. if they refused to hug me infront of any of their friends.. I would punish them when they got home.

 

 

 

and.. wait.. do they have a father? -.- who is it? #-o

I'm going to assume that I had the sense to wrap my tool and didn't get a girl "knocked up", so at this point I'm married (or divorced/widowered. Doesn't matter).

 

 

 

Strict military discipline with an emphasis on frugality and the evils of capitalism. My biggest preference is that I could be absent for maybe the first 8 or so years of their life (skip all that...youngness. Especially if they're like my neighbor's kids) but then it would be a lot harder for me to raise them as I wish.

I like to see how everyone talks about how they'll hardly control their children, and how they'll do everything the opposite of their parents, and how much of better lives they'll have. I think we all know we won't raise them the way we would have liked to be raised, eh? More for their own good, as my mama calls it. But, ey, who'm I to judge. A judger? Meh.

Yes it is very interesting. Especially considering that their parents probably had the same mindset, but flipped around. Many of them were probably thinking, "My parents didn't care enough about my future. They gave me very little guidance and assistance. I will do my best to guide my children down the right path so they can succeed." yada yada yada.

 

 

 

That being said, I think I would try my best to be fair. I would love it if my children grew up knowing that they could trust and talk to me about anything. When it comes to certain things, I can see myself getting a little pushy (the drugs/alcohol road) because of my personal opinions on the matter. There's definitely no harm in a little encouragement (teaching your son/daughter how to play x sport), but once they get to the point where they can say, "I do not like this sport and do not want to play it," the parent needs to drop it. Encouragement is fine, but I would never force my children to play a sport or engage in an activity that they don't like.

I like to see how everyone talks about how they'll hardly control their children, and how they'll do everything the opposite of their parents, and how much of better lives they'll have.

Honestly, I'm not going to raise my kids the way I was raised. My parents basically bought into the majority of the gov't propaganda and watched over me like a hawk (I'm 18 and they still do). I'm going to give my kids more freedoms and let them choose their paths instead of trying to set one for them. Of course, if they want to [bleep] up their lives I'm going to intervene. But I want my kids to see me as someone they can talk to instead of just dishing out punishment. My dad always said I could talk to him about whatever, but when I mentioned I had a hangover one day and I needed a little help he basically yelled at me and told me not to drink (which a year before he told me he was cool with). Which also makes me want to be straight up with my kids, not flip-flop things like my father. I felt like he basically baited me into that and combined with a lot of things he's done, I have very little respect for him anymore.

Adoption/Abortion for me. I hate kids.

Well. If I was my age and I got a girl knocked up, I'd pay for the abortion. Abortion cost is less than the cost of living. So yeah.

 

 

 

But if I had a real job (Not like McDonalds, making my lousy 7.55 an hour), I'd truely love to have kids. I'd make sure they were not spoiled, but not mistreated.

 

 

 

 

 

Uh. Well, I'd make sure they don't look exactly the same. Twins that dress alike piss me off for some reason.

 

 

 

No. I wouldn't idolize more than another. I would ONLY be mad enough to a point where I would shun one if he were a murderer, rapist, et cetera.

 

 

 

I wouldn't force sports or anything down their throats. I'll let them choose what they want, and I'll help them to the best of my ability and be behind them every step of the way.

 

 

 

And well, I don't want her wearing thongs at 7, like said earlier. But she can wear what she wants if it's not revealing.

I suppose I'll just raise them the way my dad raised me and his dad raised him; Keep them at arm's length so they develop a sense of hero worship towards me and they'll begin to mimic all my habits to try and impress me. It's not the most emotionally stable life, but you certainly learn a thing or two. :P

I wouldn't be a huge hyprocrite like all other parents, a lot/most parents drank/smoked when they were in their teens, and by looking at them you can tell that most of them turned out alright. With this logic I always wonder why they're so against it, and why they won't give a god damn reason.

The boy would love reading, writing, drawing, guitar, and acoustic rock. He'd be a quick learner, hard worker, an optimist and a visionary. He would work out but not play sports. He'd have a lot of girls but they would like him for his personality and not his looks (even though he'd look good too). He'd be great at solving puzzles and he would have excellent grades at school. He'd have brown straight hair, white eyes, and would always wear a cape.

 

 

 

The girl would be a 16 year old drug addict with no goals in life. She'd probably have a 25 year old boyfriend who drove a motorcycle and she'd work at a strip club by the time she was 18. The only time she'd go to university was to 'borrow' money from her brother to buy more crack.

 

 

 

The boy reassembles me and the girl my ex.

 

 

 

Holy [cabbage], I have to find something else to do.

If I weren't gay and I somehow got kids then... I would raise them to FIGHT THE POWER!!! Like 'You can have drugs...If you give me some' and I would tell them to disrespect the pigs as much as possible.

Download every Wikipedia article and turn them into the smartest people within 100 metres.

Well, the hypothetical question of somehow instantly having 13 year old kids seems odd.. I'd raise kids in a peaceful countryside place which has 'real' winters and summers, maybe build snow castles or play soccer or something in the summer, & make sure at all times they have enough to eat, a few friends of their own age, shelter, clothing and safety.

 

 

 

All I know is no kid deserves to have a bad childhood. If I had a child he/she would mean everything to me. I'd instantly take a bullet for them if it came down to that.

 

 

 

Few people realize, small children are the purest form of life on Earth. They don't have conscious sin or impure thoughts like adults. If you're a real man you should always value the life, well-being and safety of a child over anything else. Therefore you can probably imagine my view towards those who abuse kids...

 

 

 

It's not about what I'd want from my kids. A better question would be 'what can you offer them'?
