When I have kids I’ll never………………………….
I was recently reminiscing back to my younger years. I actually thought about getting married and having children quite a bit back then. I guess it was always something I knew I wanted. But the funny thing is that in the BK(before kids) years, I would sometimes find myself planning about the type of parent I would be. To a point this was good I guess? I mean why not plan ahead, right?.....And I was soooo smart back then. I had it all planned out. It was going to be my way or the highway. And I was great at criticizing those “bad” parents. I used to say it all the time:
When I have kids they will never:
Run through the supermarket making a racquet……. Look the supermarket is filled with all sorts of unruly characters. So, if I’m going to put up with body ode guy and lady who sneezes all over the apples, then guess what? That’s right, they’re going to run and yell a little bit. Choose your poison shoppers….body stink, the flu or the sweet sound of childhood innocence.
Have cookies for dinner…….Ok, you just worked a 12-hour day and the wife left for her masters class as soon as you got home. You need to feed the kids, give them a bath, put them to bed and write some bills before this miserable day can come to a close. It’s cookies and happy kids or three straight hours of crying. And because your so busy crying, they don’t get bathed or to bed on time. Therefore, they end up going to school the next day a dirty, sleep-deprived mess. So I ask you, are cookies for dinner on occasion really that bad???
Let them talk fresh to me or their mother…….Good luck with that one Pat!
Fight with the wife in front of them………..Um, Well,…I’ve decided that presenting an unrealistic view of love and marriage could not benefit any child. To do this would only set them up with an expectation for their future that could not be realized.
Let them walk in on us “cuddling”……This one is for those of us who have been scarred during our childhood by this awful, everlasting image. Well, I’ve realized that some things are just God’s will. And if it were to happen (so far so good) it would just be one of life’s na
