just look around there are parents all over that have no clue how to be good PARENTS. they let there kids walk all over them, they want to be there kids friends, and then wonder why they have no control over them. Really how many of your friends do you control? and if you do control them are they really your friend? NO! so stop cring about how your children are acting out, and that they wont listen to you. Some children do have disorders that cause them to act out but for the most part they have learned the behavior, so stand up be the adult and make them unlearn it! there is a movment that i think more people should be a part of called the human extinction movment, quit breeding, get sterilized, adopt, and take child development classes.

you make a very enlightened point, child development classes wont give parenting lessons however it will give insight to the thinking and mentality of children to give the parents better tools in order to make more educated decisions on how to raise them. In addition these classes are held at community colleges every where so there really is no excuse not to look into it if you are planing classes. children live what they learn and there has been a steady decline since the late 1940's in family structure as a whole. where once a family depended on each other now there is isolation, parents work leaving children to be raised by daycare providers and television. It is almost as though it would be acceptable to breed, put the children in an intuition where they can get 'round the clock education and structure and just visit them on weekends.

Although the question was kind of rude I do somewhat agree. Alot of people should take parenting classes. Babies are meant to be spoiled but to a certain point. After a certain age it is just too much. Kids need lots of attention and guidance and not many people know how to give that. Children are getting lazier and lazier because of their parents. Their parents dont want to do anything but let the kids do what they want. What if a spoiled kid who has never had their parents taken them swimming took them to the pool or beach, how would they know they wont like it? And yet they scream and cry because they are soooo use to being lazy. They are so preoccupied with not liking it they dont see the fun in it. Alot of these parents dont know what to do afterwards because they were so preoccupied with trying to give them everything they want and now they are complaining on here that their child wont obey.

Nobody knows how to be a parent. Even if you have kids.
The problem relies on your idea of what is good or what is bad. And what is good for me, is not necessarily good for you.
Also depends on personality, culture, on how you've been brought up by your parents...and so many factors, that really, you shouldn't judge and generalise like that.
Also, if you adopt, you still have to educate and be a parent to that kid, you can still make the mistake of being a "bad parent". I don't see that is a solution.
Again, who gives those child development classes you mentioned? I really hope it's not you.
Sorry mate, I don't think you should be parent ever. Please, enroll that movement and get sterilised quickly, because with that attitude of yours.......

I mean no disrespect...but your question leads me to believe that you do not have children yourself...and may even be too young to have them. If this is incorrect, I do apologize.
To begin...there is no instruction manual on parenting. Sure there are books...but how many legitimate ones is the subject of much amusement between myself and my wife.
What makes a good parent is subjective at best, and it's no secret that parents of one child do not necessarily agree with how the parent of another chooses to raise their child. As any parent knows...how you choose to raise your child is a very personal choice...a philisophy that does not inherently welcome outside conjecture or input.
We can't license people to have children...nor can we force them to raise their children a certain way. Your question didn't raise any points that we parents don't already know and face on a daily basis...and your opinion of what makes a good parent is strictly that...your opinion, and you're entitled to it...but it hardly applies to the majority of parents. In fact, it's an insult to imply that it does.

I thought about this for a long time. I finally decided people breed out of mostly conformity, doing what everybody expects them to do with their life.
But also, I think people unconsciously want to cheat death, by having a little bit of their body stay alive in the form of a kid.
If people were rational about this, there would be a lot more people realising they shouldn't do it.

Good question. I want kids because I'd be a good oen and because I'm the last of my family line. I don't want the family line to fade into history.

Some people "think" that they have what it takes to be a parent. And then when they become one, they just get into a big mess and dnt kno wat to do... Sure, it may seem cool to be a parent, but it takes a lot top raise a child.
