Please dont give that common bullshit answer of “The child can choose whatever they want.” Well duh, thats why i said is there anything you HOPE they get into. I want interesting answers people. Fck that robo shit and LETS GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!!!My mom had me enter ballet/tap. I liked it as a kid but quit before i turned 10. Them hoes was tryna have me do backflips and shit. Like this ain't ballet mf 🤣 So then she wanted me to be a cheerleader. I was too tomboyish for that so I told her only on the weekends. So she bought me the cutest cheersuits for our college team and I’d shake my pompoms. Thats the most she was gettin out of me. Other than that, i was an academic nerd, overachiever, and teachers pet and got by fine with just that.Lmao this girl got 98/100. Shit I wouldve been happy with a 90 lolI would love nothing more than for my kid to be as much of a school nerd as I was. Shoot i was spoiled af and had teachers taking up for me and getting me recommendations and all. I didn't even want to go to college. My actual counselor secretly signed me up for everything and got me all kinds of scholarships. It was amazing. But sorry to say I haven't read a book since I graduated college in 2017, so yea I’m pretty dumbed down now. What a waste of knowledge. Yikes 🤷♀️Anyways, let me focus on the kids lmao. So yea I’d love for my kids to play baseball and maybe even takeup track. I’d like them to also takeup a hiphop dance class cause they gotta have rhythm. It would be nice if they also took violin/cello lessons so that we can make bank off of people’s weddings 🤣 And i want little smart mfs so I need to get them in the chess club asap. I hope they also join shop class tbh, but very few females did that back then. Anyways, I want my kids to have some backup plans. If they’re not the smartest then have some talent to help get scholarships for college, cause I sure ain't puttin out more than $5k a kid for school. #FeelFreeToList
Are there any hobbies/activities that you secretly hope your current/future kids get into?
As the first born of all my grandparent's grandchildren I was guided to independent thought and inquiry. My favorite magazines were Popular Science and Popular Mechanics... compelled to a parochial Catholic education, I asked incisive questions that embarrassed my clergical educators and sought independent validation in REAL physical Nature.
I cherished my first library card at age 7 because I could RESEARCH my fasciation in Hollywood's portrayal of Magic, Witchcraft, Vampires, Werewolves, Wizards, Satanists and alternate states of Consciousness. WHERE did these beliefs arise? And... if I AM to wager my "immortal, eternal Soul" risking ALL eternity... should I not TRY to ferret out the facts and truth? "I vas ownly vollowink oarders" didn't 'fly' at Nierenberg's tribunals and so you EXPECT your omnipotent Creator to excuse 'BLIND unquestioning faith'? REALLY!!!
One can excuse leaps of intuition when major 'truths' are DELIBERATELY being withheld... but you cannot be held accountable for an incomplete puzzle WHEN all the pieces AREN'T given.
'Gnosis' is the genuine 'good faith' attempt to live One's life in accordance with the Creator's unabridged, unedited MANIFEST examples... NOT secondhand self-aggrandizing embellished half-truths. ESPECIALLY if YOUR eternal existence hinges upon YOUR choices!
My personal 'Craft reference library is currently in excess of 1,032 books with yesterday's four arrivals after HALF A CENTURY'S collection & practice. 'Magick' is to Parapsychology as Alchemy is Chemistry and Astrology is to Astronomy ~ Folks say "Show me what YOU can do" and I reply: "I'd far prefer to teach YOU what YOU can do... then you must ask yourself why those you trusted in your vulnerable formative years, LIED to you!" (Keep 'em docile & guilt-ridden)
SOME affeciantos consider me a Neopagan Catechist. I was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Comparative Theosophy by PSU back in '93 Legally I'm a 'Reverend' for purposes of legally-binding liturgical functions like Christenings, Weddings, Ordinations, hospital & prison visits, etc.
If I did had children I wouldn't mind if they have any interest in writing because as a writer I can try teaching my hypothetical son/daughter about writing out stories, poems, music although I probably need to find a person with that skill set because I don't do music.
Also coming from a gamer pov I definitely wouldn't mind if my kids also has a hobby of playing video games because I can obviously try playing the game with them and I can show them my old consoles, but my future kid would think I probably be a old man considering they are going to have the newest consoles. 😂
Mam i used to love writing. And i even wanted to be an editor. But i realized how much i hate reading anything i didn't write. So 🤣🤷♀️… I want my kids to play video games on the weekend (Fri-Sun) but otherwise, not much unless its brain related games. And yes I keep a collection of all my consoles (which they’ll never be able to touch the glass case, all they can do is admire lol).
That is good, oh man I totally forgotten to put cooking I love to cook and I definitely wouldn't mind teaching my children the importance of making their own food at a young age. It would even better because most school food are garbage, at least if I can teach my kids how to cook they would be packing their own lunches up.
I have different hopes if I ever should get a kid one day.
Dance in any form, be it standard, ballet, hip-hop. - because it will give good posture, rhythmic sense and it will help them have good control of their body.
Martial art - it's great cardio, it needs discipline which is always great to have. You grow power and muscles and you might be able to learn to defend yourself, even just a bit.
Badminton - great cardio, fun, I used to play it myself, it's great to develop hand to eye coordination and a lot more.
I love to be creative myself, so it would be great if my possible future kid would love that as well.
But most important of all is if they were happy, that's the best. And as long as they have some hobbies and activities instead of just watching TV all the time.
Probably skating because its fun. Also id like for them to learn how to play any instrument of their choice. They could end up in a band if all goes well. Hopefully it pays good and they live comfortably
Reading would be a must, like it'd probably be the only hobby I would "force" them into liking. It's extremely important to be knowledge and even fiction books can teach you a thing or two. Genre i don't care as long as they read. I would push " entrepreneurship " a little so they learn to sell stuff (and how to handle people) but I wouldn't really force them into it. I'd just want them to learn to handle money and working from a younger age.
I'd want my daughter (s) to be interested in Chess, Math, or sports (especially if it's soccer or some sort of martial art). As for my son (s), I'd also would like sports to be one of their hobbies but I don't have any specifically in mind. Cooking or music would definitely be one of the things I'd be secretly excited if my son liked it since I like learning instruments and a lot of the men I know are really into cooking.
Yao! You need some super kids 🤣. I don't have kids and we are planing on it either but i am my nephew's godfather, what me and my brother are trying to do is to keep him active and play sports. He help playes at our garden and knows where apple, strawberries and carrots grows so he steal some when we are not looking 🤣. He playes football ( this one ⚽ not eggboll🏈) with the other kids. ATM i play basketball at my free time and work out too, so if he gets any kind of interes in sports is good to keep him active and maybe he could be a pro at something. Other wise! Gaming and make his own content
My daughter does what she wants she in too dancing, and gymnastics, she even plays the violin she a honor roll student and I teach her how to box she loves it we got awards 🥰 I always tell her do what makes u happy and if u want too go too college I got the money so no pressure on scholarship bullshit lol I spoil her because she owed it I do anything for my baby girl❤️ ohh yeah she always tells me to stop cussing it's not proper or some shit lol so I been trying to shut up but I can't help it lol she lol... I would not change nothing about having a daughter she is the best🥰🥰🥰🥰
I HAVE the money but im not gonna waste money on college. I graduated with a bach and still consider college a waste… so if they wanna go, i’ll put no more than 5k on it. I’d be pissed i spend 20k for them to dropout or regret their major like i did. Fck that
Yes I would be disappointed not about the money but that she quit but no matter what IL support whatever future decision she makes as long she happy I'm happy 🥰🥰
My father and I loved to cook and fish together. I haven't fished in years so I'm probably terrible at it now. Also when I was a kid I loved going on paddle boats. that would be really fun to do again. I want to play open world RPGs with my wife and kids and get them into Elder Scrolls and Fallout like their dear old dad. Also I loved some animes but don't know my woman feels. Guess I can ask her @Funnygirl1500
That they would be willing to snowshoe through frozen snow covered forests and camp with me in 5 degree weather. I've got two sets of snowshoes and 5 sleeping bags and tents and tarps... and my beautiful princesses are so spoiled that to expect them to do anything where they would shiver even a little bit... how dare I even think...🙄
Athletics. Kids are getting fat today because there's a lot more entertainment that doesn't require physical activity. Some kids in my neighborhood have motorized bikes. They ca only go about 5-10 mph. When I was their age my bike had pedals and would only go when I pedaled. Some young kids have toy cars that have little motors in them. My toy car had an opening in the bottom for my feet and like the flintstones I moved it with my feet. Therefore sports keep them active.
Yea i’d definitely prefer they get into biking because thats gonna be their transportation unless theyre riding with me or until i gift them a car after they graduate HS
Whatever I choose, they might just do the opposite because it's not "cool". So I'll choose something I hate, talk it up and trick them into doing what I wanted them to do all along.
If my kids don’t end up enjoying pottery, I’m going to shove them back into my uterus. Or Glass blowing. Those are the options. They’re welcome to including anything else extra
If they have a talent for music, I'd like them to do that. But no matter the talent, I'd like them to do sports. Doesn't matter what kind. But, I'd like it if they practiced some martial arts, and either soccer/football, volleyball or basketball.
I’d love to raise drummers but i dont wanna hear that everyday i get home. I’d get a headache. I’d love it they tookup DJ-ing but dont want them out in clubs. Maybe play for Weddings until they become the next Calvin Harris lol. Football is a dealbreaker for me (unless you mean futbol) but martial arts is a good one. Forgot that one
What kind of music doesn't matter either. But they'll have to inherit their musical talent from their mom. 😅🤣 I don't want to sound too narcissistic, but if they inherit my talent for sports ( that's played with a ball ), they'd be good at it. And martial arts is so they can protect themselves.
No i love the sports thing. And i agree martial arts is good. Its not a must for me but i would like them to know a little sumn sumn. As for music, i listen to all genres and hope they doo too.
My kids are lazy asses. My son played the trumpet for one school year then dropped out. I enrolled him in karate, that lasted 6 months. My daughter was in dance for a year then she dropped it.
Kendo, martial arts (self-defense & mental discipline, which helps with self-reflection on one's actions), watching anime (spending time getting hyped with my kid), D&D (family game night, also helps with school)
In all honesty I'm not so fussed as long as it's something. I never had any real hobbies and I always resented that. But let's say something artistic (music, dance, art) something sporty (cheap stuff sorry kid we need to eat) and something social.
