to the future!!!

The thought of children absolutely petrifies me (that..and I have too much time on my hands so I’m thinking about stuff again..and it’s never a good thing when I start thinking lols)

I don’t think any parenting book ever gets it right about how to raise your kid. I’ve seen a few parenting styles while I was growing up. There’s the really protective type, the really chilled type and then there’s the type that’s in between those two extremes.

Have you guys ever just seen some screaming kid on the street and then think to yourself “my kid is never going to end up like that”? I’ve have that thought for a really long time. I hate it when kids scream or make a scene in general in public. I feel that second hand embarrassment for the parents and the kids, knowing that others are thinking the same as I am “geez..them noisy kids..don’t bring them out with you”

I really dislike spoiled kids, too. But then again I understand parents’ need to spoil their child senseless because they are their bundle of joy. How does one not spoil their kid anyway? I don’t know. I have I feeling I might spoil my kid in the future, but within reasonable boundaries, hopefully. I have a tendency to give others what I never got, what I felt I should have gotten. So if my kid turns out spoiled in the future, I apologise in advance for such failure in parenting lols.

I saw on tumblr that kids who grew up without parental restrictions turn out to be some of the nicest human beings and I sort of agree to that, even though I grew up with endless restrictions. I somehow do feel that children are inherently good and will know the better decision to make when given the option. If they chose wrongly in the first try, they’ll learn and go for the better option next time. Kinda like us testing how late can we sleep without feeling like a complete waste of space at work/school the next day.

I would like to raise my kids to not judge people based on their lifestyle choices, to not be homophobics. It’s disgusting to see how people can degrade another human being because of how they live. That’s not cool. Everybody deserves to be happy, regardless of their lifestyle choices. I have a feeling that when our generation become parents, we will be the generation that is really accepting of different types of people because the way we are growing now. With the internet, if you really take a good look at the internet, our generation is actually really, really accepting of alternative lifestyle choices and it’s beautiful.

Not sure if I want to expose my kids to anime but I’ll definitely keep that option open. I mean, I’ll probably let them watch classics like Card Captor Sakura and let them explore from there if they want to. Disney is a definite must, no questions asked. Hopefully they’ll like it as much as I did. And I’m definitely going to introduce them to Aang and Korra and the rest of Team Avatar! I have all 7 seasons and definitely not going to delete them anytime soon xD
