You cannot choose your parents. Here's a question for parents everywhere.
- If you had to prepare a "resume" of your accomplishments, everything you have to offer a child, would your child/children choose you to be their parent?
If the answer is no, then you need to do something differently.
I think I want to tell the story of a seance that my parents had for me when I was 15. It wasn't really a seance, rather it was more like an intervention. I just like to say the word seance. I might post it tomorrow. Gotta get some zzs.

Such a short post for such a serious opening.
I don't have children, but all of my friend's children love spending time with me, so I know kids love me. How could they not?! lol - I probably wouldn't spoil my own children the way I do other people's kids though.
Wow @ the last paragraph - can't wait to read the post on that! You posted this @ 9:30pm and you're already off to catch zzz's???...party pooper!
Making us wait. Vicious.
@diva: i've been off for a week and when i got back to work yesterday i almost passed out. gotta get back in the swing of things. until i catch my rhythm it'll be early to bed and early to rise. i've been up since 5 in the a.m. btw, can you turn off word verification? i don't remember ever turning it on. it was just always there.
@yasmeen: welcome to my world. thanks for stopping by. i was just too tired, but when i get off today i'ma try to type it out. got tutorial after school, but i'ma press my way.

Yaaaaaaaay...one more person to get rid of comment moderation!
post! post! post! post!
cant wait to read
Definitely the realism. Made me think.
I don't think my daughters would choose me based on a resume. Mines isn't accomplished. I do think they would choose me based on the amount of love shown.
I don't know if the kid would choose me *shrug* good question!
Ummm so it's officially tomorrow so post up dude!
@diva: thanks for the info. just so i'm clear, it's comment moderation that's making us have to type that word verification crap?
@desy: i gotcha.
@don: welcome. i think it's your first time around these parts. it doesn't have to be a resume in the sense that we know one to be. think of it like a presentation on paper. if you were going to sell yourself as a parent, what items could you include to make someone desire you to be their parent? the amount of love shown is one, but your paper can't just have one line on it. i'm sure there's other stuff you can add.
@lady: i'm 'bout to work on it now.
I think my children would choose me because:
-they know i absolutely without a doubt love them unconditionally.
-that no one loves them more than me.
-i believe they can be anything they want to be in this world and i will stand 100% behind them.
-i would fight for them and never, if it's up to me let any harm come to them.
-i encourage them to do better and listen
-i am their biggest supporter, cheerleader and coach
-i would die for them
hahahahaha.... good question... and nope not the way my life is right now... I'm not ready to slow up enough for a child. I could if I got pregnant... but if they came into my world the way it is now they would say my mama is crazy.
I have a god daughter and 2 nephews that I treat like my own and love me to death but I can give them back to their owners when I dont feel like dealing and I like it that way.
@miz: if you can articulate reasons why someone would choose you then your definitely on the right track of being worthy of the mantle of responsibility that is parenting.
@eb: i feel ya and i'm in the same place. i love my goddaughter but i can give her back, even though i don't get to see her that much now.
