Family Guy

If there is one thing males in Nick's family are not, it is Family Guys. That is all except Nick. He is very much a family guy and loves hanging out and doing things with his family as well as mine who have basically taken him in. The great thing about him being such a family guy is the way things tend to happen for him because of it. For example if Nick asks his brother or sister to scrub the toilet, they more than likely will do it without putting up a fight, but should anyone else ask them, they would get a dirty look and possibly some mouthiness.

This 'control' that he has with his family kind of makes me chuckle as I see time and time again people in his family having trouble controlling their kids and he simply states "well they don't have a problem listening to me, it must be your parenting style" This has brought me to the realization that he is right. Everyone in his family has a very passive style of parenting. Once you have learned to walk and talk, you are ready for the world "Have Fun!" So I have been thinking, what kind of parent would I be? I realized I would be much like Nick. I have a way with understanding kids' needs. Especially the whiney 2yr olds who constantly ask for cereal. It's not because they are hungry, it's because they are bored and not being engaged in anything productive.

So I decided that to do the world a good deed I will have one kid. I am hoping for a boy because they are said to be much easier, however I am so close to the little girl I watch I should probably hope for a girl. We think that with our parenting powers combined we will have one super-kid that changes the world. Or we might just have a normal kid, either way we decided this weekend we aren't shelving the child issue.
