  1. i think i will be a good listener, someone who helps encourage my kids. i will be easy going.

    my parents are kind of strict. i kind of live a sheltered life, i don't get to go out with friends, i don't get to stay home by my self.

    i like how my aunts and uncles parent their kids. they let them almost do whatever they want. they can stay out late at night and stay home by themselves.

    i never knew my grandparents so i don't know how they parented my parents, their brothers and sisters.

  2. I want to be a stick but easy going parent. When my kids get older I want to know where they are and that they are safe. My mom usually lets me go out but when ever I ask my dad he almost always says no. So I will let my kids go out once or twice a week.
    When my kids are young I want to play games with them and take them places for kids. I want to be with them alot but be able to leave them when I have to work or if I am going out.

  3. i dot know what kind of parent ill be. I would not restrict video games unless there grades drop. I would make him or her have good grades. if he had a sibling, he woul dhave to watch out for it. These are some of the things i would do as a parent.

  4. I will be a parent that when my kid is in his teens he can do what ever he wants as long as he does what I say. When I tell him to do his chores or homework he better do it. He get all the responsiblity as long as he doesn't abuse it. When he does abuse his responsibilty he will get a warning then he will get his wings clipped. This parenting is like my mom and dads, how they raised me.

  6. I will let my kids play video games. I would like to be like my parents. They are good parents and taught me well. If they get bad grades I will take there car keys and video games away. Until they get better grades.

  7. I'm hoping to be a nice parent for the most part. When there are young, I will be more strict so my kids learn discipline while they are still young. Once they get older, then they will get a lot more freedom.

    Once my kids are 13, they'll be able to do almost whatever they want. As long as they check in while they're out, every now and again so I know where they are at. They will be allowed to play 90% of all video games. The other 10% is Grand Theft Auto and I don't want them to play that game until they are older. They just keep coming out with those games. Even in music, I am restricted. I can't get any music with an explict sticker. Once my kids are 13 I won't care what they listen to.

  8. I'm not really sure what type of parent I will be. I don't want to be the one that overreacts but I don't want to let my kid do whatever he/she wants to. I don't think that is good parenting. I want to build our relationship on trust. The more I trust my child the more I will let it do.

    I know it is hard for kids to talk their parents about certain stuff or maybe just in general but, I want my child to know I will always be there for it.

    I would really like to be a good mom. Responsible, loving, caring, awesome, I'll try my hardest to buy and get what my child wants/needs.

    I will always love my child and I think the best thing that I can ever do for my children is love their father. That's what my mom said was the best thing that she ever did. Children that have well functioning parents will be more successful. A healthy life at home will influence a healthy life for them. I've basically grown up without a father and it's not fun seeing how other people interact with their dads, mainly becuase I will never be able to do that.

  9. I think that my parenting skills will be sort of strict, and also "easy-going" in a way. I know that if your too strict on the child, they will feel overwhelmed and as though they can't come to their parent and get help for problems they have. I know that my parents are very strict and sometimes make me feel as though I can't go to them for everything that I need to, because I'm just worried they will be mad about something that I did. It's not like I'm saying their bad parents, it's just they aren't the type of people I go to for help.

    My grandparents probably had A LOT to do with the way my parents are. They were super strict on my parents, and punished them for everything bad they did. I understand that maybe that was something that was done "back then", but still doesn't seem like something I want to do when I get older (to my kid(s).

    Kid under-go a lot of stress, and I know that because I'm at that point also, my kid(s) will soon be too. I realize that I need to be helpful for a kid who is at that point, so I know that I will be. Understanding is the best thing you can do for a kid, so I want to make sure to do that.

    Media shows me that I want a little more control over my child, I don't want them running around and doing whatever they want, because kids get into a lot of trouble when their completely on their own!

    Being a parent to me means that I'm going to be their for my kid, even if it means being the mean strict one at times, I just want to be their for him or her, all their life.

  10. I think that I will be a really good listener, easy going, and very nice. My parents are pretty stict around my house and I don't always think they parent very fair. But I will try to be the fun parent and try to be easy going yet strict at times when I need to be. I think that since my parents take away my phone with every little thing I do. I will try to be nicer and more fun than them.

  11. I want to be kind of a strict parents. I will let him do what he wants, as long as he still does what I say. I want him to obey and do as I say. When I tell him to do something, I expect him to listen. He will be able to have responsibility, as long as he doesn't abuse it. When he doesn't listen, he will first get a warning. After that, he will get into big trouble and won't be able to do anything for a period of time. This parenting is like my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. That is how I was raised.

  13. I am a good listener and I am kind of patient so I think I could be a good parent. I am very encouraging, so I think that will help my parenting. I will be able to back my kids the whole way no matter what they do.

  14. I am a good listener and I thnk i have the ables to take care of a baby. My parents didn't teach me very well on how to take care of anything. I learned it all on my own and It was pretty easy to do once i got the hang of things. Being a parent can be hard but im sure i could do it.

  16. When i am a parent i think i will be kind of strict, but im still going to let my kids do a lot of things. i dont think i will let them do what ever they want but i will probably let them do alot. My parents dont always let me do everything i want, but they still let me do alot. I think when i am a parent i will be a lot like my parents are.

  17. I think I will be a great parent. I am really good with kids and I really like taking care of them. I have had a lot of experience with kids and I think they are fun to take care of. I'm a good listener and easy to talk to. My parents are strict at times but are pretty easy going and let me do things. I don't want to parent just like them because I don't want to be the parent that your kids don't like and won't come to you for anything.

  18. When I get older I think that I wil be a caring and responsible mother. I think that I will be strict at some points and other times not too much. I will raise my children the way my parents raised me for the most part. I will raise my children to be good polite and do all the normal things that most kids do. My parents raised me to be polite and treat everyone good. My kids will most likely be in all the sports that I have been in and I will encourage them to be as good as they can be.

  19. the kind of parent that i will be is a fun parent. my parsonal attitude is like sometimes i canot control my temper to well so my kids are going to be well diciplined. My parents diciplined me because their parents diciplined them so that they could grow up and have some respect for other people around them.

  20. When I become a parent I will not be overly strict but there will still be rules that would have to be followed. I think that I will be a lot like my parents when it come to parenting my own kids. To be fair but also have some rules that have to be followed. I would not want them to think that they can't do anything because they will be able to do a lot of stuff that I am not able to do now.

  21. I think i would be the kind of parent that lets there kids do what they wanted to an extent. they could stay out at night depending on how mature and old they were. My parents dont trust me enough and i think that, that is a bad thing for a kids maturity level. i think that it makes them feel like they arent trusted so they tend to break trust more often. So i would let them stay out and have fun to an extent.

    When I am a parent I will probably do things how my parents do things. I will be somewhat strict, but let them have freedoms. I will want to know where they are at and who they are with. I want them to be safe, but not to overprotective. I will mostly just let them be a kid.

  23. I think I wiil be a good parent. I think that I will do a lot of things the same as my parents. I will bekind of strict but not to strict. I dont want to spoil kids either. The things that my Aunts Uncles, and Greandparent do will influence me to. I think that they may have influenced my parents some too.

  24. I think that my parenting skills will be easy going you know not very worry some but i will not let my child get away with anything stupid. Every child needs structure but you can't be so structured that they never get to see life like it should. They should be their own person and it should be allowed.
    My mom and dad had to learn it all by themselves and they have tought me. Some things they agree on and others they don's but thats the way it is. We basically learn from books and those classes on how to raise a baby, but some things my parents had to learn on their own.

  25. brady- i think i will be a good parent. i am good at taking care of kids. i have been taking care of kids for a long time now. my little brother gives me a lot of practice to be a parent. so i think that i will be really good. there are a lot of things that i will need that will cost a lot of money, which i don't have. so i will need to save a lot of money

  26. I think I will be a good parent. I love little kids and i am also good with kids. My nieces and nephews help me to be a better parent. Also me becoming a parent will help me be a better person in general. having a kid takes alot of responsibilities you have to have enough money to buy everything for your baby and enough money for you.

    I think that I will change somethings from how my parents parenting me. I'll be somewhat strict like my parents, just to be a parent. But I will let them be a kid. Kids need to have punishments to know whats wrong and whats right.

    I think that i would be a good parent. I dont really like little kids but I think thta is it was m ine then it would be competely different.Once my kids gorws old enough he will deffinatly have to work. I think all kids should have to work so they have a good work ethic growing up. Once they are in highschool then i will let them hang out with friends as long as they work hard. I will aslo porbably take after my parents a little.

    The type of parent that I will be is going to be very similar to the type of parent that my parents are. The way I was raised is probably going to be the way that I raise my kid. One exception would be that I will probably not raise them on the farm. I like the way my parents raise me, because they let me have fun but discipline me when I need it. Being on the ranch will be a lot different that raising your children in town due to transportation purposes. It will make things much easier.

    I think that I might be a good pearent just not right now. I do not think that I am prepared enough at this point to be a good parent. Maybe in the future i will be a good parent and be able to take care of my kid or kids. I do not think my family would be prepared either for me to have a kid right now. It would be a lot of work and hard to juggle with school and everything else going on. So, I think my family and I would rather wait for a long time.

    I hope that when I get older, I will become a great parent. I am very happy with the way I have been raised. I have grown up on a farm, and love it. It is a great place to raise a family and live. I hope that when I have kids, they can get the great opportunity to live in the country too. My dad has taught me a lot about farming and cars. My parents have also taught me a lot of other skills that you need to have in life that I will teach my childeren. They have taught me a lot of things about respect and responsibility.

    I think that I would be a good parent once the kid has gotten to be older. I would let them have fun and to go hang out with their friends. I would also teach him what my dad has taught me and hopefully he finds it as interesting as I do. I would help my kid start out hunting and teach him everything I know. My dad didn't teach me much about hunting, I just had to figure things out on my own.

  33. When I am a parent I will probably be stict. My parents let me do a lot of stuff. I am still a good kid, but not all kids will be like that. I would want my kids to help others, do tihngs without being told, and not have a bad attitude. I don't think there is anything more embarressing than a little kid throwing a fit and a parent not doing anything about it. I don't want my kids to have tantrums but if they do they know that there won't be a good consequence. I am not going to be a Nazi, I'll let my kids have as much fun as they want as long as they behave well when I want them to. I like having fun but they'll probably have to do something not fun first.

  34. I think i'll be a good parent. I learned some parenting skills from my parents and grandparents. I now alot about taking care of a child. My parenting style would vary largly from how my mom parents. I wouldnt yell as much and id be less nosey than her. I would be a bit strict cause some of these kids on TV run wild and act stupid.

    I hope to be the best parent possible. With my strong will to help and lead others, my kindness and understanding, and my natural need to protect the one I care about, I hope to be a good parent. My parents care for my brother and I lightly and kindly when we need support, and with tough love when we're being difficult. I think this is a good way to parent. I think my disciplinary ideas might differ a bit from what my parents did, but I want to be just as loving as they are.

  36. I dont think i'd be a good parent because i dont have alot of experience. I think you need to be financially fit to have a child and i dont have a job yet so i cant take care of a child. I kinda have experience with my sisters but it s still alot of work and too much for me right now.

    Dani M. I think I am going to be a good parent. I live with 5 younger siblings so i am around kids all day long, and I have learned how to take proper care of kids. I will probably end up doing some things the way I have learned to do them from my parents. I will let them have freedom, however they are going to have some restrictions. They will be taught how to be respectful, and what is right and what is wrong.

  38. When I am a parent I think I will be a lot like my mom and dad. My parents can be strict but they still will let me do a lot of things. My grandpa and grandma raised my parents a lot like I want to raise mine. They got to do a lot of stuff they wanted but they weren't spoiled. I have learned a lot from my parents when they take care of my brother and sister.

  39. I don't think that I will be a good parent. Little children always seem to be afraid of me and I am not good with kids. The influences in my life in the area of having kids is nonexistant. My parents don't care if I ever have a kid or not most likely not. I just don't need to have a kid in the near future or ever.

  41. I won't be the most strict parent out there, but I will not be a pushover. My kids will have my respect until they do something to lose it. I will not put up with them have any bad grades. I'm not saying they have to have strait A's but i want them to try their best. If I tell them to do somthing in the house they better do it. Every time that I have to tell them to do it, I will take somthing away. Like if I tell them to do somthing three times I will take thre things away.

    When I become a parent, I want to make sure my kids know I care about how they feel. I will teach my kids how to feel good about themselves and be comfortable with who they are. I think I want to do this because my parents did this for me. I also want to make sure my kids are disciplined. I will ensure this because I want my kids to be able to act appropriately in situations.

  44. I will try and be a good parent. I will always be there for my child. They can talk to me anytime. If my child decides to do sports I will try and be there for them at every sporting event that they have. I want to try and let my child do something that they want but not all the time. They will have a curfew and the older they get the more time they will have to hang out with friends or do something they want.

  45. I hope that I will be like my parents. They are easy going and let e hang out with my friends, unless they think that friend is not a good influence on me. They let me do things that are within their reasoning and they like to be strict when I didn't do my chores or what they told e to do. I would want my kid to learn what my parents taught me so that my kid can then know how to raise their kids.

    I think I will be a good parent. The way my mom and dad treated me as a kid and even now is good. I will try to get my kid everything it wants. That's the way my parents did it. it took some time but I got it. I will never abuse my child.

  47. If I were to become a parent I will be a fun parent. I will make sure I have the free time in my day to hang out with my kid and do whatever they want. I want to make sure that my kid doesn't feel like I just ignore them. I would like to be an active parent that my kid looks up to. There are to many kids in this world that don't have the opportunity to even see there parents, so I want to make sure that my kid plays with me.

    I think I will be a strict parent. I will however try to be understanding. I won't just make a decision based on what my parents did. I will be sure to listen and reason as much as I can, but in the end I will do what I feel is the best for my child. I will always try to make sure I do the best thing for my child in the end.

  51. The kind of parent I want to be is fun yet strict and prompt parent. I want my kids to have fun and also have what's best for them. My parents raise me pretty close to how I want to raise my kid when I become a mom. When it comes to freedom, I don't mind what they do, they just have to check in every now and then and be honest about where they are. I will always be there for my kid every step of the way and watch them grow up.

    When I become a parent I will be a good leader. Because of my surroundings and the people that I had to take care of me. I wouldn't do anything I don't think is right just because my parents do it. I will teach my children important values that they may need to know for their future. I will care for my child in the best possibly way.

  53. If in the future I were to become a parent, i would be a loving and caring parent. I would not be a soft or cruel parent. I would want to be right in the middle. I would wan't to be a little more strict than my parents were. I will raise them until they are well matured young adult. I want them to think that I am a BEAST, in a good way.

  54. I think I would be a easy going parent. im not goingto force my kid to stay home all the time. I think this because I don't want to be like my mother and force kids to stay home all the time. I would also teach my child why it is important to not play with weapons and how to make some food. I want my child to beable to cook just incase I'm sick and can't cook.

  55. When I get to be a parent I am going to do what I have learned throughout the past when my parents raised me. I have learned some good habits from my parents but i have also learned many bad habits. I have thought about all of the choices my parents have made and I want to change many of them so i can learn to be the best parent ever. Also, I have read magazine articles about the stars parenting and what they to for thier child and i take that in to consideration as well. There are many standards i have for parenting and I would love to learn more.

  56. I think that if i was parent then i would try to support my children will things that they do. My parents help me when i dont know what im doing. I think that i would help make compromises, and coming up with ideas that are outside of the box. the media and my family help me decide what is right and wrong. But now some of the things that are wrong are starting to be okay in this society.

  57. I will be an encouraging parent. I will help them take the right paths and lead them toward the right decisions in life. I will be a great listener and always be there. I will probably take a lot after my parents and how they have taught me. I will help my child through whatever obstacles come in life.

  58. If I would be a parent I would be a parent that would be caring but still pushing my kid to do the right thing. If I had children, they would most likely be riding horses at a very young age because I was too. I will also teach them what I learned from my parents. I wouldn't abuse my child because that wouldn't be very good. I would be a good parent and love my kids.

  59. No i would not be a good parent because i would not know how to take care my kids. Because i would be new at taking care of another person. If i wanted to be a parent i would just teach my kid the way my parents treated. My parents treat me good so if iI ever had a kid thats the way I would treat them. I would buy them what they want I would treat them how i got treated as a kid i was treated good as a kid.

  60. When I become a parent I will try to be a great parent. I would make the child do chores but not a huge amount of them. I would let them hang out with friends a lot and let them do a lot of fun stuff. I would also allow them to do sports if they wan to and support them if they do. I would try hard to get them on the path of success.

  61. I will be inspirational to all my kids to help them get through life. I wont be strict to the point that my kids will hate me. My personal opinion about parenting is don't spoil your kids so they don't turn out rotten. My kids will get treated with respect as long as they respect me. There will be punishment if they don't respect my rules.

  62. I'll try to be a fun parent and somewhat strict at certain times. I won't try to put my child through the hard times in life that I had to deal with. I will be there for them as much as possible. I'll be sure that he has fun on all the different things that they are doing. Also try to give him the best life style for my child.

  63. I will be a freaking amazing parent. I will take them hunting and fishing, and help them with their sports and homework, too. I will show them the good pokemon games, and help them on their adventure, wherever they may go. They will show respect to everyone and they better not disobey me. I will be a wicked parent and I will raise em right.

    I think as a parent I will be very similar to my parents, but pick up on some of the things that they might have left out on. I won't be too strict,but I'm not going to let them do whatever they want or be disrespectful towards others. When I become a parent I want to be able to have a strong relationship with my child so that they always have someone to talk to whenever they need to and so that they don't feel like they have to hide anything. I want to make sure that I take care of not only their physical, but also their emotional needs. They are going to have responsibilities. I hope that they respect my decisions and that I'm going to be a good parent.

  66. I will be a strict parent, my children will have to work for the things that they want. they will not get my respect easy.
    They will have to have at least above a C in school, if not I will be taking away things, I will stand up for my children.
    If they need anything I will give them it as long as they give me a good reason to.If they lose my respect they will have to gain it up again.
    I will let them go out with friends as long as they follow the rules, no talking to strangers, no getting in cars with strangers, listen to your friends parents.
    You will behave when your in public. I will be a Fun parent as long as your behaving,(:

  67. I would try to be a fun parent. I wouldn't be very strict either but my kids better listen to me when i tell them to do something. I would buy my kids all the stuff that i didn't get when i was little but i wouldn't tolerate them acting like brats if they didn't get something they wanted. I wouldn't expect my kids to ace their classes but i would expect them to pass all of thier classes in school.

    I think I will be a very laid back parent. My kids will have rules but I wont be super strict. Ill be very caring and loving to my children, and want to provide them with the best life possible. I think my opinions on parenting would be very similar to my parents. Just because that was the way I was raised so it would have a big impact on how I raise my kids.

    I will be a parent that trusts my kid and has some rules not strict or not to loose. I want to be a parent who lets there kid have some freedom but yet has rules and morals. I think I would be okay for I have token care of babies and new borns I have lots of experience with kids and I am one who works with what I have. I mostly go off of what my parents and grandparents have taught me and of what I have learned.

    I think I will be a type of parent that is in between strict and lenient. I don't want to be unreasonably strict, but I also don't want to be a bad, neglective parent. I feel that rules and consequences are important, but I want my kid to have the best childhood they can have.

    I would be the parent that makes lots of rules for their kids at first but then as they get older I will see if they are ready to make mature decisions. I would also be the parent that made sure that when the kid is old enough that he would be ready to help out with certain chores like burning trash. I would also be the parent that takes families on special treats every now and then.

  72. What kind of parent will you be? Compare your personal attitudes and opinions about parenting with the influences around you, such as, parents, grandparents, friends, and the media. (At least 5 sentences)

    Darian- I would not be such a strict parent. My mother is a strict women, and my father is a laid back, and I wouldn't want to be as strict as her because I want my kids to have their freedom to hang with friends, and just have fun. Tho I will still have some rules that MY parents have taught me, and use it on the them, just not as strict.

    I will be a parent that is very layed back and easy going. I will set rules and the strictness of the rules depends on how they act and behave. I want my kids to have the best childhood they can have.

    I would want to be a parent that isn't to strict and also be a fun parent. Maybe a laid back parent but them knowing to not do anything stupid. I would also make them be very athletic.

    I think I would be the fun parent, but also have some rules so the kids wont get hurt or be out of control. I would be a good listener. I would be strict at times and at other times I would be lenient.

    I would be a strict but easy going parent. My children would never be physically disciplined but they would have other sources of discipline in order to be well behaved and respected throughout communities.
    My children would know that their grades are important. I was raised to try to the best of my ability and never give up. My children will have things taken away if they don't make their requirements. Things like groundings, game restrictions, and other things would be taken away. It wouldn't be anything too extreme but it would be enough to shape the child's mind to know the importance of schoolwork.
    I would be very close to my children so they would never be scared or feel judged to talk to me about things they maybe can't confide in with others about.

    I believe that children should do a lot of their learning by themselves, not because I don't want to teach them, but when they learn their life lessons it is good for them to be able to handle it on their own. They would have my support and if they ask for it my advice. I don't wanna be the parent that their child is to afraid to talk to them about what is going on in their life.

    When I get to a certain age and decide to become a parent I think that I will be very strict and less lenient. I would probably base my parenting off of the way my mom and dad do it. They set rules for a reason to keep me out of trouble and to lead me toward being a responsible person. I want to make sure that my child/children get the most out of their education, sports, and extra curricular activities, so I feel that the only way that would be possible is if I were to be strict. I definitely would have curfews, rules, and regulations regarding social media along with everything else. I would parent like this until my kids get in college (which they will go), even if my kids are mature these rules will be set in place.
