Are there any hobbies/activities that you secretly hope your current/future kids get into?

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 lol

I 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.

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!

Impartial Nature thins out the DUMB ones!

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. 😂

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

letuswaltzforthedead · Answer

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 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.

Nomina · Answer

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.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Martial Arts, Weightlifting and art all things I could teach them since I am a painter, am a martial artist and was a PT. I also wouldn't mind my children being gamers or geeks because I'm both to.

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

Riddler1412 · Answer

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.

Alyssa11 · Answer

I would love for them to get into sports. I was rubbish growing up so I want them to make up for it lol.

Wiredone · Answer

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.

dragoblack · Answer

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)

Hans222 · Answer

Sure, let them step into the cockpit like me ✈. Gosh, that's not so good for our budget 😩

TacosRAwesome · Answer

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.
