That way, when she grows up, she won't think she deserves to be treated like a princess. Instead, she will be well grounded, have friendly eyes, and attract the types of guys that I want hanging around her.
All this stuff I hear from lousy parents who suck at parenting who say "We did the best we could and that's all we could do."
I'm sorry but if I had a kid they wouldn't be going astray. Your kid rebelled because you're an awful fuckin parent. That's the bottom line.
I have 3 boys, all turning out great but i can tell you this. Raising kids is hard and oversimplifying the process like you just did doesn't inspire much confidence you're ready for such an endeavor.
I'm not oversimplifying anything, in fact I'm raising the bar everywhere, the way it should be raised. I purposely chose not to have kids in life because I know what it takes to raise them the way they should be raised. Too much sacrifice for me and I'd have to become a career guy. No thanks.
I do respect your life planning skills. Still, you are coming on a bit strong with statements like "I'm raising the bar everywhere, the way it should be". Couple that with your admitted lack of experience in child rearing and one might think you may be a wee bit pompous.
Every man everywhere should be coming off strong right now. I feel like a great white surrounded by goldfish these days. Nobody around me has any balls to speak up and be honest. It's beyond pathetic at this point.
Ok big macho Mr. Sharknadomando.... Cunning and proactive would be my first choice. But pls don't let me get in the way of your ultra inspiring pep talks about fish. My favorite part was when you said you were only big strong guy.... I mean fish.... I mean shark...... nado
