Would you make a good parent?

Funny story.

My dad, as a kid, managed to convince a neighbor boy something similar. Except instead of 'you are a snapping turtle' it was just 'your name is actually Joey.'

All the same. He got the kid to totally ignore his parents after a while because he thought they were just so old they forgot his name was actually joey.
 
Possibly. However, the real question here is not whether I'd make a good parent, but if I'd make a parent at all. The answer to which is "no".

At least a name doesn't look like anything, unlike a snapping turtle.

Inorite. He did a lot of magically kid-like stuff. Like stealing a neighbor kid's real parachute (dad was an army dude or whatever) and jumping off the roof with it.


Funny thing, it didn't go off.




BUT BACK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND.
 
I'd be a good parent to a child of >= 5 years; I plan to adopt. I'd probably be an okay parent to a younger kid too, but I'd hate it.
 
They're cute as long as they don't wake you up/puke everywhere/cry constantly.

Basically, they're adorable as long as they don't belong to you X3
 
I dunno. It would depend what mood I was in.

Some days it'd be like:
"Look Daddy, I drew you a picture! ^________________________^"
"Aww, that's so cute!"

And others it'd be:
"Look Daddy, I drew another one!"
"Daddy's busy with the crap life keeps throwing at him right now. Piss off."

In other words, no xD
 
Were I to actually have a child(doubtful, considering I probably will never marry), I probably wouldn't treat it any better than my evil stepdad does me. Basically, I'd be mean and angry to them, insult them for their general stupidity and weakness, and stuff of that nature. Then again, I might refuse to treat them anything like that, just because I remembered that treatment, and be a good father... But that all depends on how my personality changes in the coming years.
