I noticed there’s a few parents and wannabe parents knocking round. How do you want to raise your kids? What values etc do you want them to have?

I’m not planning on having children but if I did I’d raise them with the assumption that their personality is almost entirely determined by nature, not nurture and as a parent my role would be to support them and enable them the opportunity to try things out that they are interested in. I wouldn’t try to steer them in any particular direction.
I do think some steering is necessary. I have long conversation with my partner on it. Since I was born full of hate and anger it took years to separate it from myself and focus it on evil people instead of everything. It requires heavy logic based thinking to not let your emotions play yourself. Because the hate give false clarity and direction. Its only when it fades that I realize how dumb actions where.
Better to raise poison ivy or mr.freeze than joker.
