QFT. If money and access to education is the only definition of spoiled, then yes by all means I was spoiled. But I was also beaten pretty badly on a daily basis for not living up to the level that my parents expected of me. My favorite was when I was beaten in the face with a house phone for about 20 minutes for scoring a 99% on an exam. I think I was in 3rd grade when that happened. Anything that was less than 100% I was punished quite severely. I was instructed to make up stories about how I got attacked by a dog or whatever if anybody asked me about my scratches and bruises. Growing up, I had a very deep-seated jealousy of other children when I saw how they interacted with their parents and how their parents treated them. All I ever wanted growing up was loving parents that didn't hit me. My house was like a POW camp.

I would be a terrible parent. I would spoil them constantly and would probably never discipline them, even if they did something bad and needed to be reprimanded. Great grandparent, terrible parent.

I have actually known some people o completely change their life around to help take care of their kids. Like I'm talking about some serious junkies, not saying that a good idea whatsoever though.

It would be strongly against any child being brought up in a less than stable enviroment

I don't think this is true.  You have a lot of self awareness and, I think, flexibility.  You're smart.  The drugs and gym thing are too much narcissism for parenthood, though.  When you can stop thinking you are the most important person in the world you should consider it if you ever find a man you love and want to be with.

I don't see myself taking drugs once I have kids. I mean hell, even when I adopted dogs, which is nowhere near the same responsibility as children, I always stayed free from drugs so I could be completely dependable and wouldn't forget to feed them or walk them cause I was high or something stupid.

Gym however, is very doable nowadays with children. My gym has a daycare center so people can drop their kids off while they work out for an hour.

I've been told I'm very good with children, in the way that I talk to them and verbally caress them very gently and in a non-intimidating fashion to get them to finish their homework or do things that I want them to do. Even when I was in grade school or junior high and looking after toddlers younger than me, adults always remarked at how well I got their kids to do things, that I had a gift when it came to interacting with children. And although I would not like to overburden myself by having many children, I would like to have 1 one day when I am middle-aged. Only one is good enough for me, I would not have the time for two. It is my duty to pass on my wonderful and perfect genes back into society. :hehehe: (That was a joke)

The only thing that I am lacking in, is that I am too sweet to children and animals. I spoil all children to excess, and I find myself having a really difficult time yelling at them or disciplining them even when they're being rude, annoying, or have done something bad. I realize that this is not a good thing to spoil children so much, but I just can't seem to help myself. If I have kids I will probably depend on my husband for him to discipline the kids.

Children are all different and I have bent like a reed in the wind.  Some need a nudge, some need a kick and some just need support.  Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do.

I do not think it is fair to demand that any single child excel at something if they are very good at a lot of things.  Renaissance children.  And many do not find heir niche until they get rid of us.  Did you?




Oops, for some reason I never saw your post.

When I say excel, I wouldn't demand that they be prodigies in anything. I mean, how can I possibly expect them to be prodigies when I'm just an average person of normal intellect and skills myself? It's problematic and sets children up for unhappiness and constant struggles with themselves, when parents set unrealistically high expectations, especially when the parents themselves really aren't that great to begin with.

I just mean that I would like to see them pick up an instrument and actually practice it, even if it takes nudging. My piano teacher was a Julliard graduate and concert pianist... but I don't mind what instrument they select. If they want to play rock on an electric guitar, I hope to provide them with a teacher that is just as talented in the instrument that they'd like to play.

And I would like for them to play sports, not with any intention of going professional or placing in the top 10 (knowing my genetics that would never happen anyway unless they took up badminton or something). It's really more because I want them to get adapted to living a healthy lifestyle at an early age, and to improve their health in the long run. Childhood obesity is supposedly 30% in this country now, and it's mainly because kids eat shitty and play video games and don't play any sports. I could care less whether they choose soccer or track or lacrosse, or if they're any good at the sports they play.

I'm still trying to find my niche. I crave new experiences, and I consider myself fairly good at many things having been exposed to many things, and therefore have a difficult time finding "the one" thing that I'm supposed to want to pursue for the rest of my life. Truth is, I'd still like to do many things and go from industry to industry, if it was at all feasible.

I like that you mentioned Renaissance children though. Back in the Renaissance era, schoolchildren were taught to excel in so many things--astronomy, physics, math, science, religion, history, music, politics, debate, medicine, literature, art... And while many people would argue that forcing children to do things they don't want to do is inhumane, but I'd like to ask: Did Mozart grow up with his parents giving him all the freedom to do whatever he wanted? No, most likely he was pushed, just like how you often have to push kids to go to school or pick up a book and read.
