What kind of mother would you be?

We all complain about how our parents are "too-strict" or whatnot. So, explain what kind of mom you would be! Talk about the rules, what grades they should have, when they can date, when the girl can wear makeup, what you would do ti punish them, what you'd like them to wear, etc...

I think I'd be a pretty cool mom. I'd let her date at age 14, wear makeup at 13 (or entering middleschool) (cause i'll be a makeup arist/fashion designer ;D) and her/his grades must be 85+. Punishment: taking away tv & internet. Curfew for teenager: 11:45.. parties are exceptions (1:00am) Thats all I can think of for now. biggrin.gif

i'd be more lenient than my parents are with me _dry.gif

+ my kid would be able to be friends with and/or date whoever they want: african american, hispanic, white, etc etc
+ dating age=12/13
+ curfew: 12 to 15= 8pm, 16 to 18=11pm, if they're still living with me AND going to college or working= whenever...as long as it's decent...like they can't stay out until 3am when they have a 8am job/class
+ grades...80's would be nice...it wouldn't really matter, as long as they're trying
+ makeup: whenever...as long as it's not too over the top blink.gif
+ punishment: i'd make him/her write me a long letter about what they did wrong so they recognize the problem and how they will improve...taking things away will just get make them worse ermm.gif
+ wear whatever they want to wear...as long as it's not hanging off them too much or slutty
+ friends can stay over...but friends of the opposite sex can't stay in the same room unless there's a group of the kids mixed together
+ girlfriends or boyfriends cannot spend the night

that's all i can think of for now

-can date at age of 13
-let em go out, just as long as they come home before midnight and I gotta know where they go.
-Ill take away some rights if grades drop
-Let them do whatever they want as long as they arnt sexually active, drinking, smoking, etc. (Ill get them a test at the doctors to make sure they aint sexually active and aint doing drugs every month)

... I dislike [most] children, period. I hated myself as a child. mellow.gif [Most] children irritate me. I don't want to have children.

BUT, hypothetically speaking, if I ever were to have a child, I would let the child go out more, but still have a curfew. I don't have a curfew, but my mother rarely lets me go out anyway, so a curfew isn't even necessary. yawn.gif The child should get at most 1 B and all the rest of his/her grades will have to be A's. I expect no less, but maybe better.

I don't really know what else to say, since I'm not very fond of children. Haha I'd probably be a terrible mother. pinch.gif

I would be a real mom not my child's best friend..sometimes you have to draw the line somewhere so they wont take advantage of you. I wouldnt be too strict but strict enough to keep their asses in line

I hope Ill be a good mother... ermm.gif

Dating- 14 is good
Boyfriend/Girlfriend- I have to meet them one day...
Friends- Dosent really matter unless their bad kids hammer.gif
Clothes- Dosent matter either but they cant dress sluty or just over the top
Make up- 13 or 14 but they cant make it to dramatic
Grades- Atleast they should have straight B's, one C would be fine but it would be great if they had straight A's.
Punishments- No internet, TV, Phone, Cell phone gets taken away, Cant hang out with frineds or BF or GF.
Curfew- 13-14 years old 10 pm and 15-18 11:30 pm

I guess thats it.

Punishment would mean no movies, no friends, and no life.
Grades are to be all A's and one or two B's.
meh, they can wear makeup at 13.
Can date at 14.
I think I'd be strict on some things and on other things lenient.

As much as I hate my mother right now, I know what she's doing is good for me. I think when I grow up I'll raise my kids just like her, even though they'll probably hate me as well.

--- I'll probably won't let my daughter/son date black/mexican people. Sounds like racism? Not really? Ehh maybe it is. Chinese/Japanese/Korean only for me. I don't know if I call that racism cause I didn't say that they are bad people. I just rather see them dating Chinese/Japanese/Korean or American people hehe.
--- Give $10 a week for an allowance.
--- If they have a bad attitude, I would not let them play games nor watch tv nor hang out with friends. I want them to learn their mistakes and not have any bad attitudes again next time.
--- I won't force my children to work hard to get an A. If they got a C, I'll just say "It's okay, you'll do better next time. I know you've tried." And if they keep getting a C or a D, I'll say... I'll give you $40 if you get an A or B from your class hehe.
--- I won't let them do drugs.
--- I'll give them curfews which the curfews will be, before 11:30pm.
--- They have to give me a permission before they go somewhere.
--- If they turn 12 years old, I'll buy them a cellular phone, so I can't get lost with them? and I'll probably get to reach them whenever I need to.
--- I do not want to give them everything they want. I don't want them turn into a spoiled brat.
--- I'll try to teach them how to be friendly/kind/generous/reserved to the guest and friends.
--- Also, teach them how to forgive people and also respect hehe...
--- I won't force my children to eat vegetables. If they don't like it, I'll pass it. But I let them try at least.
--- I won't let them eat too much candies nor junk foods.
--- I won't let them date someone until they turn 15
--- I have to see their boyfriend/girlfriend before they date and go somewhere wherever they want to go together.
--- I'll teach them to have patience with others. If there's a fight, tell them that my you don't want to fight. Also if they call you a chicken or call names that hurts them, still hold the anger and move on. If they fight puts them in trouble, call 911 immediately to put the fight to stop.
--- Teach them that aliens doesn't exist lol.
--- They have to go to church more than 2 times a week especially on Sundays.
--- I'll make them devoted to God and be a great Christian.
--- If they worship the other idols or have a different religion and didn't tell me. I'll punish them by no internet, no games, no chatting with friends, no phone calling, have to do a lot of chores around the house/apartment, can't hang out with friends for 2 weeks.
--- Let them know how to speak Korean, English, Japanese, or maybe Chinese?
--- When they are sick, I won't force them to eat medicines. I can always make them drink lots of liquids like orange juice, apple juice, or mango juice. Or any healthy drinks for its body.
--- Make them jog for 30 minutes 2 times a week with me or my husband?
--- They can watch tv whenever they want, but they can't watch 8 hours straight. Maybe less than 6 hours?
--- They can't do internet for more than 8 hours. But if they want to do more than that, they have to give me a reason why they want to do more.
--- They can't watch Rated R movies until they turn the age of 16.
--- Make them at least take a sport for school
--- Make them volunteer something for school
--- Go to fun places like Disney World, Universal Studio, Disney Land, The Zoo, Fun attractions, etc. for 1 time a year.
--- If they are sick and their temperature is below 99.9, they have to go to school. If they are sick and their temperature is above 99.9, they have to stay home for a day only.
--- I'll have to teach them not to have any tardies at all for school.
--- They have to do their homeworks right after they get home from school.
--- They can play games, do internet, whatever they want to do right after they finish all of their homework. They can take a 20 minutes break only for one time only.
I just want to be a cool mother that my children's friends will say "You have a very cool mother!! I like your mother! I wish I have a mother like that" hehe... I want to hear that hehe...

My mom is treating me okay and I love her cause of that. I wish she's like this forever. I'm just glad she's not a mean/bad mother hehe who forces you to eat vegetables.

Well, I definitely don't want to be the way my mom is... I don't want my kids to hate me. Hmm, I'll definitely be more lenient, but strict on some things.

i would spoil my kid just a little, but imbue the academic sense into her, she's not allowed to do anything too off, but she is allowed to date when she reaches certain age.

As psychologist has proved it, we all tend to grow up as a mirror image of our own parents so I say I'm going to be like my mom, I can tell I'm already am: demanding, strict, aggressive, assertive, occupied, enjoys shopping, and likes the have little gatherings. I'm going to work on those bad qualities though because I know what it's like to have that type of mother and so I want my kids to have a better mom..

I'd probably be the worst mom ever...I have no patience at all and I'd probably yell at them every day and make them depressed without even knowing it... -_- Sad, I know.
