I know most of you are still in the age of enjoying your life to its fullest, however, thinking ahead sometimes can be useful to you in your life.
I imagine everyone will want to, sooner or later, start a family and have kids. That's where my question comes in.

What kind of father/mother do you imagine yourself being?

Like, tell us if you'd be someone strict, overprotective, or whatever with your children (that is, if you plan to have any). I'm sure everyone's experiences will reflect in your future as a mother/father and you may want to repeat (or maybe not) what has happened to you as a kid.

Alright, in my case, I'll probably not be strict, as my parents were strict with me when little and I think that may be one of the reasons to my anti-socialism. I'd try to encourage my children to be more social (but not forcefully)
Although I dont think I'd really fit a good role as a father, since I'm not that interested in having many children, actually.

I know how it feels to have extremely strict parents, and I definitely won't be as hard on my kids as my parents are on me. Of course, I'll set down some ground rules that will be enforced, but I'd like my kids to make most of their decisions on their own. But like most parents, I'll probably have different rules depending on if the child is a boy or girl.

I tend to look to Fred Rogers for inspiration frankly XP Principles and values should rule the household with an iron fist, yes, but there should always be some softer love behind that iron, and a good bit of reason involved in explain those principles.

Anyway, it's a tad late now. I'll edit this later.
It is very difficult to explain why I am an Eevee-Fan. You see, there are thousands and thousands of reasons why, and all these reasons just prove one very large reason: Eevee is awesome.

Oh gosh x_x my friends agree with me when I say I will be one of those paranoid parents that worry about every little decision they make about the kid. I'll probably be over protective too D:

as for the other things, I will be a bit more lenient when it comes to stuff like grades and cerfews unlike my parents. I know you can work your butt off and not get straight A's and I know kids who are 17 don't need to be home by 9:30-to 10pm. I'll also let them believe what they wanna believe, etc.

I guess I'll be alright. We'll have to see in the future \o/

I know that I will most likely be strict. There will be no talking back, etc.
But As long as they try their hardest in school, I will be ok. Curfew will depend on age and how they act. Religion, they can believe what they want to believe. And dress how they want to dress as long as it isn't revealing, stuff like that.
But I'm positive I won't be having kids soon :3

Remember the way I was, for me.

I really don't know what type of parent I will be but I plan to be a cool parent. Just as my father did, I wont keep secrets from the kids that they would understand. So if they're 12 and want a new gizmo then they may get introduced to how family finances work to keep everything running smoothly. I'm certainly not going to keep them from knowing what things are. Why sugarcoat things? Tell them the truth as soon as they are old enough to understand it and be done with it all by the time they're old enough to move out on their own. And while the kid is too young to know, instead of covering it up, just tell them the truth...You're not old enough to understand what's going on with this yet and promise to tell them when they're older. Sure it may sound disheartening at first but once they see that they needed to grow a bit in ignorance to be ready for the truth of a matter, they'll be thankful just as I was.

I definitely wont try to force my kid into anything. I will try to help steer him/her in the right direction and provide advice when they are old enough to make some of their own choices.

That's my plan. How I actually handle things depends on a great number of things. I just hope I can stick to what I have planned. Though that may be easier said than done. I suppose I'll find out once I find a mate and settle down and actually have a kid. XD

You can never really say what the future holds, but... If I do become a parent, I'd always remind myself to be strict with my children, so that they won't take advantage of me, as well as treat them with kindess. I wouldn't miss any opportunity to correct their mistakes, and ensure that they learn right from wrong. From a young age, I'd probably try to instill moral values in them, such as Integrity and Respect. I'd allow them to make their own choices, of course, as long as they're the right ones.

I'll be very strict with there schooling and there health. but if they do good in school (b's or better on there report card) then I'll reward them with something. They must tell me where they are going and if I find out that they are not there, they will receive an ass kicking when they get home, thats the same thing my parents are going to me.

Well sweeties, I would be the overprotective, yet fun loving, encouraging, weird, understanding, friendly, motherly, father. XD

Well since I get it from my parents, and I tend to act like that, I believe this will happen to me. XD

I'm not really sure. o.o;

Well I mean, I would try to be the sweet caring mother who is always their for her children but I wouldn't want to be the type to yell at them. I'd just be firm and let them know what they are doing is wrong.

I'm honestly not sure if I'm even going to have kids. At the moment I would like to later on in my life, but that could all change. Anyway, I see myself being a lot like my dad as a parent. I would want my kids to have morals and values, but also to know that not everything in the world is as cut and dry as some people tend to make it. And that yes, the world is a scary place, but if you persevere and be all you can be, nothing can stop you from making it to the top.

Hmm, I have no clue. XD; I really don't think I'd be that strict, except when it comes to school. As long as they try their best and don't slack off, then they should be fine. As for stuff like curfews, I would probably be super lenient, because I know I hate it when my parents tell me to be home at a certain time and everything. I'd probably just think back and not do the things that my parents did that I didn't like. I don't wanna be a lame parent who is overprotective and doesn't let their kids do anything. >;

Oh, and if they do drugs.. they're getting the backhand. END OF STORY. \o/

Man, I have no idea >_>
Being born in a kind of strict family, I don't think I'll not be much strict to my children. I would like to be a sort of kind and friendly kind of dad and I've always wanted to be like that. At least if they don't be dull and they do good in life, I'll be a nice parent probably XD.

I would like to think that I wouldn't be strict and all that, but let's be honest, I'm sure that'd change when/if I have children. I certainly wouldn't want my kids doing stupid things, which they're sure to do.

But other than that, I'd like to be like, super accepting and all that. Someone my kids can ~talk~ to. Total opposite of my parents.
