Children

As a substitute teacher, I guess I have to like kids. Anyway, that sounded pretty sarcastic, as I feel I'm humoring them at best. Anyway, they're okay.

Even though my children are the main source of my gray hair, I love them. We were all children at one time, it's amazing how many people are quick to forget that.

Some are alright, some are demons. UPDATE: I must amend this old review to say that some are alright AT TIMES. Fortunately the things I can take from my time in the Marines in dealing with these kids that you might have heard something about me having to deal with is that I detect lies rather well, don't mind if I'm disliked for the moment, and my firm belief in the phrase "share victory, share defeat" will ensure that some day those lovely girls with either learn to get along or kill each other and be done with it.

They're necessary for continuing the human race, so they've got that going for them. If you must feel the need to procreate, (and please remember, it is a responsibility and a privilege, not a right) please follow a few simple guidelines to ensure the health and happiness of your offspring...but also, the health and happiness of others. 1) Make sure that they're on leashes at all times and pick up after they mess. 2) If they're excessively noisy, use whatever training implements are available to keep them quiet so they don't upset the neighbours. Training collars are controversial, but try a training clicker or whistle to keep them obedient. 3) Exercise is important to keep your offspring healthy (but more importantly, free from mischief. As we all know, a well behaved offspring is a tired one) having a large fenced in yard is nice, but taking them out for walks where they can explore their surrounding is even better. 4) Don't forget to train them. Offspring are sentient and intelli... Read more

I don't have any.There are several in my life I love dearly,but I've met some that make me REAL glad I'm nobodys daddy.

Of course I like children. It should be obvious....

Love 'em or hate 'em, it would be pretty weird around here without 'em. I recently read a national news magazine cover story titled 'The Case Against Having Children'. It chronicled the adverse social pressure that modern adults find themselves subjected to for choosing to be childless. It was the most clued-out thing I'd ever read in a mainstream bit of journalism. If you can't take the needling of your friends and peers about not having kids, you clearly won't be up to the pressure of having to negotiate with a three year old.

I don’t have a strong affection for children. I’m very happy with my two dogs.

I love children and beleive that they can all do well if we show them the right path to take in life. It's not always easy but what is life without a family? I couldn't imagine myself being all alone when I grow older. I live for the day I will have my first grandchild. What's more rewarding then that.

No other blessing is greater than children. They bring a sense of continuity of life and prospects of new and better opportunities for a better world. The first 5 years of a child molds his/her personality and character, so, it is our utmost responsibility to invest the most we can in them during this time, especially love, kindness, care, the fear of God and respect for others. No parent has the right to blame his/her child for becoming what they didn't mean for them to become, other than themselves. Parents are the raw models for children. Are we good role models?

I would have not had kids if I did not like them. there are some good kids out there. and there are some I cannot stand.  I do not appreciate being around children who the parents are afraid, too lazy. too busy being their buddies to discipline them. for the most part I like kids ......just not certain ones.

not particularly....

Never be afraid to discipline your children when they do wrong, but also never hesitate to tell how much you love them. Raise your children responsibly, and they will turn out to be what you hope they will become: responsible, respectful adults.

Face it. You are the past. The children are the future. Make sure that that they grow up right.

In the end it really depends on the kid. I like most children, but there are a few awful brats that I just can't stand.

Other than the ones that run about screaming they're heads off at the store they're pretty cool.
