What kind of parent are you?

[LostinVA]

I thought, given all the parental-related GD threads lately, this might be an interesting poll to post!

1. Prius...

I figure I put in the effort when they were very young... I only need to expend a little energy now and then:)

My one complaint about parents... negotiating with your kids is the single stupidest thing you can do.

[LostinVA]

3. Great answer -- you get my poll!!!

[JuniperLea]

6. Yay!

:rofl:

I'm thinking of Homer and his "I am so smart..." bit... :rofl:

5. my kids say i am the hardest parent out of all their friends but also the easiest parent

out of all their friends. high expectation and demand, yet mellow and understanding and i listen

so i dont know.

7. Too high to answer this question

Maybe "good". Define "good". What difference does it make?

8. I'm a deadbeat dad! Giving the world the finger and living the dream!

[LostinVA]

11. As a parent, do you believe in

Financial Abortion?!

[JVS]

12. Of course! I recently aborted the hell out of little Timmy's college fund in order to get...

that new Camaro I've been waiting for!

[LostinVA]

13. I financially aborted the kitties' food fund because I wanted a

New pair of running shoes, even though I don't need them. Oh, and some crack.

[JVS]

15. You're lucky that there's no law mandating that the kitties be informed of how you spend the money.

Otherwise they'd probably make abusive phone calls to you in the middle of the night telling you how to spend their money. They'd probably also scratch you in your sleep.

18. Hot air balloon

I don't know what the hell I'm talking about most of the time. But I say it with authority.

[blondeatlast]

20. "99 Camry w/ 110K miles and my son wants it when he can drive" parent.

And rightfully proud of my son, indeed--a very smart young man of 13 1/2.

[RainDog]

22. LOL!

none of the above.

I don't even have a midlovan.

[LWolf]

23. Other: Single parent. Grandparent. nt

[Mushroom]

24. Retired parent

But I do consultation work from time to time. That would make me a hot air balloon parent?
