<p>I think I'll raise my kids the same way my parents raised us. I mean we turned out pretty decent, right? HA..</p>
<p>oh and if I have a girl.. ballet and ice skating, because I have the worst posture evar and it sucks now -_-
a boy.. i'll push him into tennis =P</p>
<p>haha.. and hope that they grow to like it.</p>
<p>lol "so save me" from my mom.</p>
<p>i want to have kids too, but i'm not looking forward to childbirth at all .. eww .. morning sickness .. getting fat .. feeling like crap almost all the time during the 9 months .. i don't know if i could take it. and when they're teens, i'm not gonna be all mean like my parents are now, if they wanna go to that party, then they can go.. i mean, you're only a teenager once, why should i limit their experience
and i noticed that sometimes when parents aren't all like "if you don't do well on the sat you're a freakin failure", the kids do well in life anyway .. i am not going to push my kids, cuz i know how it feels, and i don't care what they end up in life as, hey can experiment and have fun and i'll still be here for them. i know that sounds kinda sappy but it's true, gosh i hate people pushing me around now, i'm not gonna do that to my kids</p>
<p>I guess I would just raise my children how I was raised. My mother isn't strict but she isn't very easy going either. I would let my childchoose their on intrest and not force them to do anything but go to school.I would love them and be there for them no matter what.</p>
<p>Or, some of you can just raise your kids normally and let them watch TV all day and eat cartons of ice cream with their hands and laugh when they sneak back downstairs to watch television after they've been sent to bed when they're little.</p>
<p>Worked with me anyways. =)</p>
<p>god what is this "encouraging" your kids to participate in sports and extracurricular activities? Whatever happened to the stick? The hand?Some of you seem seriously inept in the art of parenting. I'll refer you to one of the premier authorities:</p>
