bad parents beget bad parents. that's usually how it goes.
When parents are abandoners, snobs, racists, drunks, spoilers (lol, punny), neglectful, or just plain old stupid, bad habits pass down through generations into perpetuity.
So please, if you plan to raise children and are suffering from general lack of good sense, try to end the line, yes?

I am for the mean, but your explanation is pure speculation.
My parents didn't finish high school and I am about to decide if I plan to do a master in electrical engineering... so please, stop that nonsense...

sorry about that "stupid" part, i just meant a general lack of good and common sense. i meant nothing about a lack of intellect or education, but more of a lack of understanding and acceptance of others.i'm really sorry; i just get so frustrated that i begin to replace who i refer to with insults for them. and yes, it is mere speculation. i do that a lot!
Nope. I'd be overprotective and a hardass. Thankfully, I have no plans to deal with screaming little bundles of joy in my lifetime.TheokhothAnd you get on me for being a hardass. :)
Whoa, slow down there. I can only ruin one person's life at a time. I have to make the mother hate me before I have a kid.
Perhaps more importantly, I need to find the mother first.:?

Pardon?
It's totally bogus, but as long as females continue the archaic tradition of taking the husbands surname on marriage, the man's surname will not live on if only females are born, and they marry clowns down the road.[QUOTE="vlin1108"][QUOTE="jazzkrotch"]Without fatherhood with a son, you may as well kiss your two-bit lineage goodbye.jazzkrotch

Yes, genetics are more important, but we, as humans, still feel a strong association to a name.And you get on me for being a hardass. :)[QUOTE="btaylor2404"][QUOTE="Theokhoth"]Nope.

Touche my friend. We may be two of a kind.I would make a great Father. I just don't want to be one. maheo30You don't have to answer, but why maheo? I think you would as well and your answer surprises me.

Yes, genetics are more important, but we, as humans, still feel a strong association to a name.The daughters can always go the route of the -. A new name is formed. I was blessed/cursed with the double last name. It is amazing how confused people get when you have a double last name. They treat you like your too stupid to give your name.
I had great parents, but they made their share if mistakes raising me.
I'd like to think I would make a great parent. The only doubt I have is whether or not the mistakes of my folks were for the better, a necessary evil, or if I can avoid them in raising my own kids.
As of right now however I do not want kids. I just dont know how to act around them lol.
[QUOTE="mindstorm"][QUOTE="vlin1108"]More often than that. :P Jokes aside, would you upbring them under Chrisitanity from early infancy? My parents made the decision to not get me involved in religion during my infancy, saying it's not easy for a child to completely understand it, and that I should be the one to choose which religion to follow when I was more mature. They did teach me moral values that I feel are very important for me today (help other people out, be tolerant of others' beliefs, eat your vegetables, etc). If I ever have kids I think I would do the same, as I feel it's not fair to "pitch" a religion to them only because it's what I believe in. I would be much happier as a parent if they found out by themselves what are their beliefs, even if they would not be the same as mine, granted they keep tolerancy and respect in mind. I'm going to teach them what the Bible has to say from infancy but it's their choice as to whether or not they believe it to be true later in life. They will know what it says but only they can choose what to do with that knowledge. I want to be the spiritual leader in the family like I wish I had growing up.If you'd had some, would you read them pieces from the Bible every time before bed?

In all honesty, that's pretty admirable.
I don;t know if I would make a good father. It depends on a number of things. Firstly, I'm selfish, but I feel I'm responsible, I'm not too sure how I'd react to someone I helped create, and I'm not very... family friendly (friendly to my family), but I'm not about to abandon a child either.
Regardless, one day I'd like to have kids. I think if I was forced into such a situation I'd become responsible and be a good influence.
