Do you think you are Or would be a good parent?

[SunnyRS]

I for one think I won't be.
I love kids, they are just a ball of joy but I am scared of them cause they seem too delicate I think I would hurt them if I touch them.
And as they grow up I might be an over protective dad which can be bad for them.
I know kids make mistakes and get hurt but even after knowing I don't think I could let them do that.
So I don't think I would be a good father.
What about you guys?

[EmmaMary]

Well I'm trying my utmost in being the very best mother I can, at the same time my husband is already the most exceptional father our two children could ever wish for

[SunnyRS]

That's wonderful.
How big are the munchkins?

[EmmaMary]

@sunnyrs

Munchkins... Now how did you know that's precisely the name of our adorable and very precious little "Munchkins".

Our little "rascal" son (Ryan) was four back in January.
Our little "poppet" daughter (Chloe) is just sixteen months old.

[SunnyRS]

Well that was a good guess maybe, cause I love giving kids nicknames

[SunnyRS]

That's adorable, Ryan and Chloe brother and sister, you have some troublemakers now, there will be lots of cute fighting in the future be prepared for it.

[EmmaMary]

@sunnyrs

Tell me about it! lol

It rather sounds like you've got some experience... Would you care to pass on any advice or ideas pleased... I'm always happy to learn new parenting skills.

[SunnyRS]

Well my experience is because I have an older sister and we were always pulling each other's legs.
As for the advice, I can't give much parenting advice but believe me most of the time a brother and a sister duo are best friends like in my case, if you don't focus on one more than the other. Treat them the same and they will join forces to trouble you.

[EmmaMary]

Gosh... Thank you so much @sunnyrs for the MHO.

[Apple1996]

Yes I think I'm a good parent to my boys

[SunnyRS]

That's nice.
How old are they?

[Apple1996]

9,7, 2,1 and I'm also pregnant

[SunnyRS]

Oh congratulations🎉🎉.
That's wonderful.
Hope you have a healthy baby

[Apple1996]

Thank you!

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I know myself well, and I understand why people want to have kids, the immense joy that comes from satisfying that desire to continue your legacy in the form of a living person who knows you, loves you, and is a reflection of who you are in one way or another. It’s because of that knowledge that I won’t have children, I’m too selfish to make the sacrifice that would allow me to be a proper mother and give my child the attention and focus they would need. I want to do my thing more than trying to find theirs and investing all my time and money into it.

[SunnyRS]

I understand your logic and appreciate the honesty of it.

[NathanDavis]

I'm good enough at parenting, yes...

never let your guard down though... it's a job that never ends

[SunnyRS]

That's true

[AaronKrieger]

Most of the time, I probably would be a good father, but I fear being abusive at some points by losing my cool. That is especially why I do not want kids at my current age.

I need to experience more of life and grow as a person first.

[SunnyRS]

Yes, you have time right now you can work on growing yourself and as you know your weakness you will do better.

[BonzoInBitburg]

My kids are all grown up and they all have great careers. They still come over for dinner every week. I think I did ok

[SunnyRS]

That's amazing

[IslaTheWitch]

my kids say I'm a good mother, so I think I will stick to their opinion :D

[SunnyRS]

Kids are very naive so i would not believe everything they say. 😋
Just kidding.
If they believe it then you definitely must be one.

[IslaTheWitch]

they are adults :D I don't think they are still naive in this matter :D

[SunnyRS]

Hey adults are the most naive. 😅😅

[IslaTheWitch]

hmmm... if you say so

[SunnyRS]

No, no I was just joking

[DizzyDesii]

I think I’d make a great mom. I just question if I have what it takes to become a wife

[SunnyRS]

And why do you say so?

[DizzyDesii]

Cause I don't know if i got what it takes to commit that long

[SunnyRS]

You can.
If you believe you can be a good mother then commitment won't be an issue.
Because being a mother or a father is also being committed to them

[DizzyDesii]

Oh no i know i’d be a great mom. I meant I don't know if i could commit longterm to be a wife

[SunnyRS]

I understood that and that's why I am saying if you believe you can stay committed in a relationship with your kids then if you believe you can with your husband then you will be able to if you try.

[DizzyDesii]

Its not the same at all. The kids would be unconditional love from the jump. The guy has to earn that

[SunnyRS]

Fair enough

[laly520]

u sound like u would make a great dad someday

[SunnyRS]

, 😅😅Nice joke

[laly520]

I said so cuz u already have good intentions n concerns

[SunnyRS]

Oh you were being genuine.
Thank you very much.
But I don't feel confident because I might be over bearing.

[douride2]

I am thinking I wouldn't be a very good parent.

[SunnyRS]

Really why is that?

[douride2]

I just don't have the patience for small children & I admit to it.

[SunnyRS]

I can understand that

[Cutegirl06]

I know I'll make a great mom someday

[SunnyRS]

That's good.
Any reasons for such belief?

[Cutegirl06]

I have a younger brother and sister that I take care of sometimes.

[SunnyRS]

That's nice

[katiesmuff]

I'm pretty sure I've been a good parent!

[SunnyRS]

That's good to know.
How old are your kiddos now?

[katiesmuff]

Daughter 18 and in college, three sons 11,9,6

[SunnyRS]

That's wonderful.

[serious_miss419]

Know your limit, stay within it.

[SunnyRS]

Ok, I am not sure if it is a suggestion, or I somehow offended you with my question.
If it is a suggestion then thank you I will keep it in mind.
If I somehow offended you then sorry I guess.

[serious_miss419]

It’s just a comment. Don’t internalize it lol
Simply said, don’t keep having kids 😂 some folks gotta learn when enough enough

[SunnyRS]

Ok got it. 😅
I have none at the moment and I intend to keep it that way.

[andreasderjuengere]

My ex thinks that I'm not :D
