Well I don't have any kids and I'm certainly not planning to any time soon but I don't think I'd be too upset if they turned out as I have. I'll be the first to admit that I've made my fair share of mistakes and there are a number of things I do and have done that I wouldn't neccessarily want my kids to emulate but I think I'm a good person in general and that's all I could really ask of my children.

i am hoping my baby will grow up and be like me. i have never done drugs, and i dont smoke,rarely drink. ive had one sexual partner and have been in the same relationship for 6 years.

i just hope they dont inherit my mothers madess, or my incessant worrying.

This is one of the most compelling reasons I have for not reproducing... I'm terrified that I'd have a kid and it would end up just like me! I was a pain-in-the-ass, strong willed child [but thankfully turned out relatively well behaved due to my parents' effective discipline LOL], and my teenage years were HELL. No joke. I don't know how my parents dealt with me through all of that... I wouldn't wish what I went through on anyone, it was that terrible. All I have to do is go and read my journals from that time and it scares me sh*tless, that someday I could have a teenager with a mindset like that on my hands.

I guess I'm just not very optimistic on that subject!
