ajs510 122 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 None for me, I'd be really bad at being a parent. No patience, zero tolerance for repetitive noise, total inability to take anything seriously, and I still haven't grown up myself. Link to post Share on other sites

Mercury69 3 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I have a daughter and a son, both in their late teens, but they live in another city.I'm actually going to see them this weekend, as they're coming to town, but the ex is coming also and I don't particularly like her. In any case, they're both pretty cool. My daughter is an artsy-fartsy freak, but a tad judgemental. She'll be fine, as long as she remembers that people aren't going to act in the way she thinks they ought to. My son is very mellow and towers over me (he's over 6', I'm barely 5'7"). He's generally pretty chill about things and seems popular enough with the girls.Good kids... Link to post Share on other sites

drewjax 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 My beautiful little baby girl just turned one month old on the 9th!! The first for my wife and I. What a life changing experience.Now when I get sucked out on, I get even more upset. Food out of my baby's mouth, and that sort of thing, you know....... Link to post Share on other sites
weishan14 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Being probably the oldest member of the forum, I have three beautiful daughters, three son-in-laws (pretty cool guys), and three wonderful grandchildren - one grandson (4 yrs) one granddaughter (1 1/2 yrs) one granddaughter (9 mos). Kids are great - I learned a lot raising them. While it is very important to teach children about life, I really think that God gives us kids to teach us about life. I think I learned a lot more than I taught. Link to post Share on other sites

NicksDad1970 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I have a 9 y/o son. His mother and I divorced about 6 years ago. My son and I have been best buds and really enjoy hanging out with each other.One year for his spring break we went to Atlanta (we're in Memphis) and I took him to Six Flags, a NASCAR race where his favorite driver won, a NBA game, and an NHL game.We use to get up early on Sundays and drive 200 miles to Nashville for Titans games, been to a gazillion Memphis Grizzlies games.About 1 1/2 years ago I remarried and my wife has an 8 and 5 y/o. Since then money has been tighter and since there's more kids it's harder to go to all those games etc. Last summer we went to St. Louis for Six Flags etc and stayed at a crappy Days Inn. The kids said it's the best motel in the worl because of the inddor pool :)Now we have a 7 week old baby girl and a new house. So money is ultra tight. All the kids are buttheads at times but they're also pretty cool too.TMI? Link to post Share on other sites
Shimmering Wang 1 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Man, I'm jealous of all you punks.I'm an immature jackass, but I absolutely love kids. Unfortunately I don't love relationships, monogamy, being responsible for my actions in public when I'm drunk, or having a REAL job, so I think children are a long way off.Instead, I coach a little league baseball team, and volunteer with a kind of Big Brother/Big Sister program for troubled kids. There's nothing better than looking on with pride when your No. 12 hitter gets his first hit of the year because you taught him how to keep his hands level through the zone, and seeing the kid beam with self-confidence the rest of the day. And there's nothing worse than getting a call from your 13 year old charge, explaining that he could use some help because the cops caugh him shoplifting, and he doesn't know where his parents are. "Sure, officer. I guess I could pay for 12 Snickers and a Gatorade, but only if you promise to give this guy a thumping with your nightstick."Wang Link to post Share on other sites

You can be an awesome person for a while. Then go out get hammered and have no consequences.I was trying to volunteer for the St Jude research center here in Memphis. I had to have letters of reccomendation written. Then an interview.... After all of that they told me they had no openings for the weekends. Big brothers big sisters type deal is so special to those kids that don't have someone in their life. Just thinking about some youngin sittin around with noone to take them anywhere and no money to do it sucks. Picking one of em up and takingthem to a movie is easy and helps a lot.Anyway if any of you all feel depressed, go help someone else out. That is the quickest fix for depression.

gobears 0 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Three daughters 7, 5 and 2Kids are great although I had the first one when I was 34 and felt that I wasn't mature enough to handle it - can't believe that some of you had to take care of a kid barely out of the teen-age years.And great stuff on helping out with the big brothers program, Wang. You obviously have a lot of gifts and life experiences (based on the stories that you've posted), so I'm glad that you can share your life/insights/advice with kids that have had it tough.
