And that's the way to go!MaxTheReaper said:Poorly.
I would be a piss-poor parent, because I hate children, and having one of my own isn't going to magically touch my heart and make me capable of non-romantic love.
So I'd probably just send it to an adoption agency.

Gads, I can't believe people honestly believe spanking is a form of abuse. All it does is act as a deterrent. When a kid knows physical punishment is the result for doing something stupid, they are not going to do it again unless they have serious mental problems.
Now, my two brothers didn't receive much of any of this, mostly just yelling and "grounding", which both of them ignored. And they're both currently self-centred egotistical assholes. The first more so, but the younger is taking after him more because his way is easier and I've been at college for a year.
So, yeah. Be nice when you can, be firm and cross when you need to. As the saying goes, "It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a parent to stand up the the kid and say 'NO!' and smack his little behind.".
It isn't the exact saying, but it's the one that uses common sense, thus, is correct.TUNNEL_SNAKES_RULE said:That's how the saying goes?...Dammit!I already rented a whole village...Chickenlittle said:I'd raise the how my parents raised me. Time out if I did something bad at first, then spanking.

Its because people like dogs more because kids are clingy crying annoying thingsGothmogII said:Err...don't dogs who attack people get put down? >.> Wonder why that doesn't work for cats... (Although, I thought general consensus was that you -never- strike a dog, a light tap and a stern voice at most, which is as an odd side note is far less than most children get. Weird.)Agent Larkin said:Nice and that would probably be classed as a social experiment.GuNsLiNgEr X said:I think I'm just gonna name the kid Hitler and see how things go.
Anywho I would raise my child like I was raised strict but fair. I have a great deal of freedom but it has been beatin (nerely literraly) that there are things i don't do. I for example as a kid was brought up on the basis of if i do anything wrong i get a slap and it has done me no ill effects. As i view it raising a kid is a lot like a puppy you need to give him a treat when he does something right and a slap with a newspaper if he attacks your grandmother.
True, they are indeed ugly creatures with little charm and for a long period of time they have little or no control of their bowels (it will happen to me again as well i am sure). I do have to argue that they can't do any tricks though. Some of them you can train up to earn you money which you can then in turn exchange for goods and services! It takes little longer to teach them these tricks, much longer than teaching them to roll over or even poohing in the right place when compared to a dog but they are normally more profitable.MaxTheReaper said:Children are like ugly pets that can't do any tricks.
