I know mostly all of us on this site are too young to have kids. But when we grow up most of us are going to want to start a family. But if any of us had kids what would you let them do. What would you not let them do.

 

Me, I would let my kids do WHATEVER they want!!! Now why would I do that? Simple, it's their life. This world is f**cked up as it is, so might as well let them live their life because you never know what might happen to them. I've grown up in a strict family. I am going to be 17 in a week and my mother won't let me do ANYTHING. She never let me be who I wanted to be and because of that, I'm insane(no, that's not sarcasm that's the truth!). I don't know who I am or who I'm suppose to be. I live in darkness. I am very dark and gothic. My wardrobe is nothing but BLACK BLACK BLACK! I was never allowed to express myself. So, I think that my children can do whatever they want so that they can express themselves in a way that they won't feel shameful. If they want to ride a dirtbike when they're 10 or even only 7yrs old, I will let them do it; I don't care if it's illegal. Telling them no and that they might get hurt won't teach them anything. IF they get hurt, they'll find out the hard way. If they want to dress is sluty clothes, I'll let them. If they want to change their name, I'll let them. You name it, I'll let them do it. It makes them who they are!

ill be lenient, but not too lenient... you know?

I would, not let then do everything they want, I would just allown what I think it

I agree with you girl. I think kids should have freedom not a cage or however you spell it. My parents are also verry strik and I have to do EVERYTHING behind their backs! (well my dads anway...) I don't know about letting them do ANYTHING though.... some things are just a little to dangerous and they'd still have to treat their parents with respect.

hmmmmm...oooh man...that's a tough one. *sweatdrops* well...I would try and make the best things for my kids. but then again...how should I know? i ain't a parent yet, so whatever happens to me in the future, god will show me the way. lol, i mean how can i answer this even though i have no idea what to put. oh well at least I reply.^w^

I'll probably be very nice and let them do things they want but I'll have to draw the line somewhere. Say if they get a bad grade on a test they are not allowed to play video games and such (or what ever will be the next craze in entertainment). Rules is what makes society stay together, without rules society collapses. As a result children need to learn that there are simply some things they are just not allowed to do.

I'm not getting married, therefore I will have no kids.

 

But my brothers probably will, so, meh, I'll probably be the awesome aunt ;D

 

If I were to have kids, though, I really wouldn't let them do whatever they wanted. I understand what you're saying, you know, saying it's their life and all, but sometimes rules are nessecary. They annoy the heck out of me sometimes, but I sometimes I've been kind of thankful. My dad's no dating rule got me out of the most awkward conversation EVER in front of my house. One of my friends tried to convince me to walk the five miles with her to the barn where my horse it kept. Being ten or so, I stupidly agreed. We started down the highway when my mom called me to tell me I was late coming home. She drove to pick us up. I'm kind of thankful she did. A VERY busy stretch of highway we were walking right alongside... with the REALLY thick woods no one ever went in just a few feet from us... we could've gotten killed or something. As much as they get on my nerves, sometimes I'm thankful for the rules.

 

So, yeah, I'm done

 

I would let them have some responsibility/freedom, but there'd be rules in place. I'm not going to let them run off and do whatever they want. Now that I live with my grandparents, that's the kind of freedom I get. And I actually wish I had the rules again. My grandma looked up the website to make a point to me--a point that scared the crap out of me. Sure, I could go wherever I want and do whatever I want at their house, but where my dad's house is, there's one convicted sex freak in a mile radius. At my grandparents... 42 in a one mile radius. That's scary as heck. I know better than to go in some sections of town, ect. But if I really DID go wherever I wanted, I'd probably be killed by now. Some dude even came up to me and asked where I lived. I lied and ran into the library.

 

Rules are nessecary, and as I said before, they annoy the heck out of me, but sometimes I'm really glad that they're there.

 

As with your views, freedom's nessecary, but at the extent of your child being killed? Sure, let your kid go white water swimming, it's totally safe...

I've done it--it's anything BUT.

They could DIE because of the freedom you're giving. They'd grow up to be drug addicts, prostitues, ect. in that kind of enviroment because there are no boundries.

Idk at this moment in time idk what i would say yes or no to. But ya know if it's somthing they think they shouldn't do then it's a no

I'm not getting married, therefore I will have no kids.

I don't agree but that's just how stubborn I am. After all, that's how I was raised so I don't want my kids going through what I went through. However, they will show me some respect as in they just can't walk all over me. It's sort like post traumatic stress I guess.

^ im going with what you said

I'd have a few rules placed down but nothing to big like

It all depends on what happens to me from here on out.

I sort of want to adopt children because I don't really want them to be like me

I'll let them do things, but I will make it so hopefully it wont backfire in the future.

 

Lol, I don't even know if I will live to be 20 anyways.

Awe don't be like that. As long as you don't eat things that look funny, don't look both ways before crossing a freeway,don't keep close to diseased people, stay away from nuclear power plants, and keep your head down when lead is flying then you should be fine!

 

Plus why would you even WANT to have kids at 20 years old? That's when your finally an adult and can do things you want. Why let that time get taken up by a child?

I'll let my kids mostly do whatever they want, but if they come home with babies, I'm going to kill them, and take the baby in as my new child 8D.

 

I kid slightly. But I do not look forward to be called "Grandpa" while my kids are still in high school. NO.

I would, not let then do everything they want, I would just allown what I think it

I'm not getting married' date=' therefore I will have no kids.

If you give them lead way they'll know better with what will and won't kill them. They become more mature that way.

And -Ventus-, I think it's a nice thing if you adopt but why would you think that you won't live to be 20. I didn't think I'd live to see my 16th bday because of my situation but here I am still here about to turn 17 in a week. Cheer up and your kids probably won't act much like you if you give them lead way because they find that they can be anything they want to be.

I agree with Me. I mean, sometimes doing whatever you want will get you killed in the end =/

I know this is a bad way to say this but: So, who cares, everyone dies. I would rather be in charge of doing something stupid and dying because of my own stupidity then be murdered, dumped in a body bag, and thrown into a river. Ever hear the expression "Live life to it's fullest" yea, well I take that expression literally.

Thats because of your creation, if it have been differently , you would have other opinion. Sorry to say this but, You dont like your life ? you would die for such idiot cause? While everyone wants to live longer>>.

@Zexion's_Lover_46

O.O

 

Okay, WTF?

 

That sounds very... depressing/emo. Yes, at some point, everyone does die, sadly. I really doubt you're going to be MURDERED. Why would you suffer the pain of letting your child die? When all you could've said was no and kept them alive and well to be with you? You'd end up dying an early death just to have a little 'fun'.

Yeah, life is not a thing that you trown away , it

This is just me, but I would make my kids do child labor with no pay so that I could make a ton of money and eventually become a dictator.

Hey I have the same plan! Only mine involves using the entire school district which is over 4000 kids .

^ I approve 8D

Meh, you'd probably be out and as hated as Hitler, though

Child labor = bad

in most people's minds

except all of those people are children...

Anyway, America's government is set up so your kids can't work over a certain amount of time. though the camp I worked as a counselor for last year threw that out the window Plus, it's also formed against dictators
