What would you change (about how your parents raised you) in raising YOUR OWN kids?

I would never beat my kids and reinforce fear.

I can't deny the results, but how it made me feel makes me not want to make my own children feel that way.

 

[The 2020 New Member]

i wouldn't do heroin in front of them.

 

[Elle Driver]

Be more strict, and not fight in front of the kids.

 

[T.he I.nformant]

No whoopings.

Consistency. If my children are used to me tucking them in and reading them a story before bed, I'll keep doing it. That's just one example however.

Enrichment. I want them speaking atleast three languages by the time they're my age, and killer in math. Its too important to slack on.

Just more time. No matter how tired or stressed, I will make time for my children. Always keep my promises and be in their lives as much as possible.

 

[no.]

NEVER pitting my children against my significant other, that shyt is just incredibly hurtful for everyone.

Not alternate between praising them and dissing them hard according to my mood. Not shelter them so much, no keeping them in a bubble and letting them find out nasty stuff for themselves. Try to at least learn something about their major interests, so they can feel like I get them and their goals at least a little. Not being so selective in regards to the type of people they're allowed to befriend. Not embarrassing them in public needlessly if I can avoid it.

 

[yo moms]

not give them any internet access at all

Im not going to force religion on my kids

 

[The Burger King]

I'm not gonna tell my kids;

• "You can't be more than friends with the opposite sex until you're 16."
• "You're not allowed to go out with your friends because you might get shot like Trayvon Martin."

I'm 18 and on my own now, and I wasn't allowed to do shyt when I was younger. I missed a lot of opportunities to make friends and date girls all because of my parents and their worries. Makes me depressed thinking about all the p*ssy that was thrown at me, and I couldn't get.

And, here's a warning to you parents/future parents out there. DON'T SHELTER YOUR KIDS. You THINK you're keeping them safe from making mistakes, but in reality, they just do everything in excess when they're 18.

[Illuminatos]

I wouldn't force them to go to church and threaten them by telling them they would go to Hell for not going caring about God.
