If you had a teenage child, which one would you rather have?

[MCheetah]

Yes, I know. Some of you don't want kids (me included). Just choose. Which one would you prefer, the spoiled daughter with an easy life, or the humbled depressed son with a difficult life?

Inspired by this question here.

A beautiful and tall, spoiled, bratty, promiscous 17 year old daughter with a very easy life, who everyone worships.

An average-looking, under-six-feet-tall, depressed, hardened 17 year old son who can't get a date and has no friends, but will eventually be able to endure anything life throws at him.

the son is the better option here.

if he finds a way to break out which I assume his situation would force him to do so (with some of my guidance too) he will become a man of much invincibility that no obstacle even registers on his radar of concern.

the daughter on the other hand will need to tread carefully and one false mistake and she'll never recover. it'll be hard to prevent that though given the stipulations.

[ShadezMcgee]

I would prefer a boy over a girl, but will take whatever comes. However in this case I would take the boy here. Some of those things in this particular scenario are out of his control such as his looks and heigh and his depression can be managed if treatment is sought.

I would want my kid to be tough and able to succeed wherever he went.

[MCheetah]

Regardless of whoever answers the question and happens to be his father/mother, he would still always lose the genetic lottery and end up not-attractive/short. He would definitely be hardened by adversity and struggles throughout his young life.

I have 2 amazing kids.
girl 15 and son 13.
they can be very very spoiled and they know it. They know they are extremely privilege … that doesn’t mean it was easy or that they are depressed or spoiled or a brat.
my daughter could have easily become a bitch with her negative attitude… I kinda “wiped” her straight…took 3 years. She still has a little of attitude issue but I make sure to let her know to work on that and be grateful. She had to write in her journal morning and night to write down all the positive things she has in her life…I am not one to f*** up another teen the way this country is doing. I too have to put them first, listen to them, eat together, talk to them everyday. The structure of family life is what I share and that they understand and respect themselves and our family.
my son is fine. … so far so good…still have a few years to grow up and me being by him to guide him and to mother him 😂 they are both in honors and AP classes. Again … job is not done.

there are reasons why teens are sad/depressed…or grow up to be entitled… because they were NOT parented by their parents.

I already have a daughter and she will not be raised to be stupid & if I had a son he would not be unattractive or have any traits that are along the lines of bitch assness.

Both my grandpa's had 10-12 kids Black/Mexican side

My dad has 6 kids

I only have one, and refuse to have more

So getting pussy runs in the family

[MCheetah]

Yeah, but that may have nothing to do with the mother's side and every male on the kid's mother's side may end up short and ugly with some kind of "family curse."

[Fuentes]

That has never happen in my family, because we don't get ugly people prego lol if im gonna raw Dogg it's gonna be a bad bitch not a ugly one.

[MCheetah]

I'm saying, that's not how genetics works. A girl could be attractive and from a family of ugly people. Or, a girl could be tall, but her mother and father are short (5'5" and 5'10"). Then, the kid would have a 25% chance to get it from his grandparents on the mother's side. You probably don't just exclusively sleep with women who are 5'9" and up. Or he could be a C-section baby and have stunted height and poor health due to it. Or it can be from a disease. Or he could have Precocious Puberty like I did (which is how I ended up so damn short) and never make it to six feet.

[Fuentes]

Maybe but my dad was short and he was Mexican and I still came out taller and my mom is 5'8 and I'm 6'2 lol but my uncles and on my dad's side are all 6ft and above. I have another half uncle who was 6'8 and he fought in the Vietnam War and was a POW said he only lived cause he was tall they called him the giant lol but yeah I see how genes can affect but I think over all. My family has diseases like cancer and heart issues but I don't think we have stunted growth or ugly genes. They would be very rare haha.

I do like short woman but if I'm gonna raw Dogg it's gonna be in a women I know won't have no issues haha my BM is a Native/Mexican chick and she was 5'10. My daughter is very tall for her age lol I'm tryna get her to take basketball srs I wanna be her manager lolol.

[IceCreamSandwich]

I'd want my kid to have friends and be happy. But in either case it'd be a lot on me that they're having the problems they are. I should have seen it and tried to help way before it got to that point at 17.

[Lucy68]

I'll love my child no matter what, I love both my children equally.

[FunnyGiy]

probably B. I have no problem with A other the being promiscuous

[JesseJayNeak]

B. They’re the ones who tend to change the world

[jamesgoldman]

So a son not dissimilar to myself or a daughter who is the opposite, not sure really at all

[NuclearRedemption]

I would say that neither is an option as I will never have children but If I really had to choose I would pick 17 yo son as at least I would teach him something

[exitseven]

I voted for B.. It sounds like me.
