Apparently 9's are the most caring of the lot.

Did the test...
I am a 9
If your accounting wings, then im a 9w1

A very acurate test! =]

Quote from Quik

I wouldn't be one. I'd run away the minute I found out my baby momma was pregnant, never pay childcare, and continue sexing up/ impregnating more bitches and repeating the process.


The life of a black father.

We do think alike.

A very boring parent

I would be a strict parent, I want to train my kids to sharpen their minds and bodies. In today's world Children need to be ready to handle responsible Tasks. I know its sounds fucked up but its the only way to insure my children grow to be very Strong and ready. There will be days were they will resent me but they will Thank me as they get older. Its a legit parent style and it always Works. But i bet i could also lock em in their room until their Eighteen. 0)3)0

I will be a normal parent, I would sometimes be strict and sometimes I could be fun...

fuck you that approach is everything that is wrong with society today

i have posted this elsewhere:


everybody assumes that the terrible method in which they were parented is the way to parent their children. as a result of this, nobody knows how to parent. everyone's groping in the dark, trying to get their kids to act according to their "morales" by telling them what's right and wrong, what they can and can't do.

and imposing restrictions destroys the child's faith in the parents to allow them to grow and learn naturally. so the children start to hate their parents, they start rebelling, or having perversions or mental disorders brought on by suppression.

the right approach is really to let the child do as they want, and make their own mistakes. once a mistake has been made, it won't be made again - that's how we learn. if you want to give advice, simply relate your own experiences and let them draw their own conclusions. help nudge them in a positive direction, and support them in their own choices - rather than barring all doors except the one you want to see them go through.

second hand knowledge just breeds conditioning; first-hand experience breeds real intelligence.

I'm at a conflict between the two with my parents. My mom is how Scarecrow said to be one of those "first-hand experience" parents and the other; my dad. It's not like I hate my dad or anything, but I know what they both feel lik and I like my mom's parenting better. They're both very great parents in their own way but still, just sayin'.

try to realize that your parents are just repeating what their parents did. it's the only way the know how to be parents, and they have been convinced that that is the way parents are meant to be because that is all they know, and nobody ever told them that that's the wrong way to do it.

it's best to just accept and be thankful that they are trying to do their best, without really knowing what they are doing. it can be frustrating at times, but it's more productive to feel sorry for them instead of getting angry. they are making themselves suffer (angry, worried, exhausted), they are making you suffer (deprived of freedoms, resentful, unhappy), and they are deluded into believing it is all for the best... just accept, forgive, go along with whatever craziness they come up with, and be aware that you don't have to do the same thing to your own children in the future. the cycle can easily be broken by just becoming aware.

LOLOL It's not that dramatically sad, it's not like I'm being pushed to my limits with everything. My mom's really level headed with this stuff so she knows all this "let the children have freedom, make mistakes and learn from them" thing that you were saying earlier.

Anyway, bottom line is Scarecrow's got it down. Children shouldn't feel like they're being compressed and put under pressure every time their parents expect something from them. That goes to you Asian parents. (Although Asians are the top in the academic world from the start, so who am I to say anything). I guess different things work for different kids with different cultures.

Btw, I'm a Six on that personality test thing.

I'll let my child decide what's right and what's wrong, and let him choose what he thinks is best for his life.

Thus, I'll always be a devil's advocate in his life, second-guessing what he has to say until he proves to me that he's serious about it, to which I respond with support.

I won't tell him about religion, morality, or influence him to join the military.

How much are children worth on the market now a days?

$5000 for a boy and $3000 for a girl. Seriously. No jokes.

I'll probably get more selling in parts.

What Cook said. Also when presented with a choice, I will not pressure them into choosing which, I'd rather tell them the advantages and disadvantages of both choices and let them choose for themselves.

Well my parents let me do whatever I want. of course I need to warn them first >.>
so i'd be like that to my kid.
i'd let him/her make his/her own choices, all that crap, and i'd try not to get pissed until I hear his/her version of the story >.>
