I'd rather believe my child will have good common sense--which is more important. :) |
Lorelei---If you bring your kids up right,they will have common
sense.I always imparted to my children,that being smart is important but in my opinion "Common Sense"is what gets you by! Irish |
I see Lorelei's point. I've been around so many parents who go on about how the young 'un started walking at only 6-7 months and said their first word at 6 months or any other of several different observances which surely must mean the child is easily as brilliant as Wile E. Coyote, who we all know is a Suuuper Geeenius. :p I would say (and it's quite possible I'm wrong, I'm just generalizing based on personal experience) that the majority of parents verbally extol the extraordinance of their youngster to brag more than anything. "That's my child, the genius. Yup, MY child. Came from me, that kid. Uh-huh, genius." I totally agree we should believe in our children, but I think some parents expect or demand more of their kids than is reasonable.
*Jumps up just as Lilith kicks the soap box* Ok, ok, I'm done... :rolleyes: :p |
None of my own yet... hopefully I'll have them by the time I'm 30 though. Gotta focus on starting my career right now. :) But I really can't wait...I love spending time with my friend's 2 year old daughter, who calls me her "aunt."
|
I have one little angel.....she is the light of my life and for a while when things were the roughest, the only reason I even got out of bed. She will always be my life. :)
|
I have two, my son is 2 and my daughter is 6 weeks.
|
Oh wait I havealways wanted to say this..................
2............that I know of;):p *pinches Aqua's ass as I run off*:p:D:p |
Lilith---I don't want to sound sexist,but only a MALE can say"
"That I know of!"A female usually knows how many she has had.Unless things have changed since I took Biology,the female of the species,gives birth! Irish |
Irish~ I know.............. I have having penis envy today :o:o:p
|
My grandpa used to say that when I would drive him somewhere..."Watch out, don't hit that kid, never know when one of the bastards might be one of mine I don't know about"
|
LOL @ Lilith, I was going to use that line, having been a sailor. Oh, heck I still will...
1 that I know of. He is already 15 yrs old, 6', and 230lbs. You might say that I look up to him. Great kid though! |

It’s an instinctual thing Lorelei. You’ll have to excuse us.:o It’s what keeps us from eating our young and allows us to teach them to write:cool:. Not always the best decision, but it keeps things going.:rolleyes: |
lorelei my usual brag isn't about my daughter's intelligence......hell the smarter one is the dumber one feels.
my brag is on her guts,coordination,size and toughness (both mental and physical). from riding all rollercoasters up front with her hands up to whipping ever kid in her daycare to telling me to buy a big harley (at 3) so she could ride to the way she handles her mom and mine's imature divorce and treatment of each other. my daughter not only is a survivor but kicks ass on obstacles. if you got a problem with that i'll sic her on you. at 8 yo she's 4 ft + and 110 lbs solid lol |
