I am sure we all have resented our parents at one time or another for restricting us to do certain things..
like having a bf/gf (not until certain age)
or not having sex before certain age (or marriage)
dont smoke, dont drink, dont go party
etc etc...
but of course, we all know sometime in their teenage lives they have done all those things..
my mom never really had any restrictions for me, except she wanted me to "save myself" i guess for someone special..
i think she wanted me to save it till i got married..
but i never did lisent to her..:laugh:
but when i think about it, if i ever have kids, would i be that kind of parent?
restricting my kids from doing anything that i think is "bad" or that i thought they are not ready for
i would like to think i would be an fairly openminded parent (if i were to become one)
i think i would allow my kids to make the choice for themselves, but of course i would want them to know the "correct ways" (i guess u can say) of going through with those choices (ie wear a condom if they were to have sex, etc etc)
but i suppose no one can really know until they are parents themselves..
anyways..my question is, when u think about it, what kind of parent would u be or become? put urself in ur mom or dad's shoes, honestly, how good of a kid do u think u are?
