kids today are the reason i almost dont want to have any.....cuz i know i can raise them right, its just when they start getting these outside influences cuz other parents lack critical parenting skills and alot of them are just as immature as the kids.
My g/f has been spoiled her whole life, she is 22 and her parents still pay car payments, cc bills, phone bills, insurance, etc. Alot of the stuff she does I would never get away with doing at my house or around my parents....Granted, she is very smart, does well in school, got scholarships and is very active in college athletics, but i know its just all gonna bit me in the ass later when it comes to raising kids. I pay for my stuff myself while she gets eveything handed to her. I know she is gonna want to spoil the crap out of them while i'm gonna seem like the hard a** dad who makes their kids pay for cars, college, and phones. When me and her have arguments she gives me this line "its my stuff and i will do what i want with it". I'm afraid she will use that same crap with kids or something cuz they came out of her lol. I hope not, cuz everything is great between us but there are times where we almost want to strangle each other over stupid stuff. I can say she agrees with me about kids showing respect so at least thats not to worry about.
scares me about getting married, which will in the next couple years.... :th_nervous:
Torqued, your wife will come around. If she doesn't then thats too bad. It's her loss, and shes got some issues if she doesnt want her kids to have some respect towards others, especially elders/parents. sorry to hear it all man
