I don't know if a thread like this has been created before but anyway here we go. Simple question. It'd be funny to see what people think. I'd be the one where I would be lenient enough not to be completely strict but not to the point where my kid's a douche.

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.

Boys- Do whatever they can, if they get in a fight, i'd ask why the other kid is still breathing :)

Girls- never allowed to leave the house :)

The enneagram test is a good way to find out.

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

I did the test and:

I am most likely a type 1.
Taking wings into account, I seem to be a 3w4 or 4w3.

I'd mainly let my children do their own thing, being there only to provide help and guidance when necessary. They will be largely free to do whatever they want, and make their own mistakes to learn from.

I took the test thing. I would be a type 4 wing 3, the individualist. I was surprised at the accuracy of the description.

Enneagram is freakishly accurate. We had a thread for that test a while ago.

www.enneagraminstitute.com has much better type descriptions.

I'm a type 9w1 from memory... and based on this page i'd guess i'm at "level 2". i've climbed my way up from a low of level 6... if you want to know how Scarecrow thinks/has grown there you go.

i also found tremendous value in this page:

I'd be a layed back dad who goes to work and just sits on the couch and watch Conan while my children are sleeping, but then wake them up in the middle of the night asking them: "Did you finish your homework?"

Not being like my parents. [ Basically, don't lecture every single god-damn time when a child mentions something. ]

2w3 or 8w9
I guess I'm chilled out.
Quote from Hewitt
You cant have those wings if you're a type 1. You can only have 1w9 or 1w2.

Also, don't become my dad. You 1's go die in a fire

Meh, my dad is type 1.
Hated it when he screams on my ear "Have you done your homework?!"
Lucky bastard.

EDIT: Thank for the fucking ninja, Aiman.
For moms, it would be hell if they're on period.

I would like to be the parent that my child could come to and ask advice on anything or tell me what's going on in their life. Because as I understand it, if you don't show your kids love they'll go looking for love elsewhere that you might not like and possibly dangerous
