What If I Hate My Kid?

7 comments

It’s a real concern, isn’t it? Having a kid that you can’t stand?

A few disclaimers: I’m not talking about hating having a kid; there is a lot that comes with parenting that is just not fun, but that doesn’t mean you hate the kid because of it. Until the kid gets a personality, he’s not really hate-able as a person. He’s hate-able as an entity – nobody likes a crying, fussy, messy baby – but that’s not what I’m talking about.

It’s another thing if your kid doesn’t share your interests; that’s normal, especially once he becomes a teenager. But that’s not what I’m talking about either.

Find out what I mean, after the jump.

Finally, I’m also not talking about the ignorant hatred of the bigot who can’t abide a son that’s gay or the equivalent. It’s not the kid’s fault for being different, it’s the parent’s fault for being an asshole.

I’m talking about personality. I’m talking about hating my son in the way I hate the annoying kid at work. I’m talking about what the hell I’m gonna do if my son turns out like this kid:

It’s a valid concern, isn’t it? I mean, nobody’s kids turn out exactly as they envision; some turn out better, some turn out worse. But if I have a kid like that, I don’t know how I’d stand being in the same room with the little loser. It’s a safe bet that that ginger with the movie reviews has no friends, at least not outside his grandmother’s mahjong buddies, and that means he’d be hanging around me even more than normal. It’s the kind of thing that drives a man to drink (more) (at bars).

As I said above, I don’t need someone who likes the same movies or music or sports teams as me – just so long as he’s not a Jets fan. I don’t care that Howdy Doody up there didn’t like Inception, I care that he’s an obnoxious, pseudo-intellectual douchebag begging for a beating. But you can’t beat someone’s personality out of them. You can maybe reprogram them, but even that’s questionable. And expensive!

There are things that can be done to make it more likely your kid will be a good guy – be a good parent, teach them proper values, lead by example, etc. I’d even suggest having more than one kid – the only child is often a spoiled, selfish, high-maintenance brat; introducing some competition into the mix is better for everyone. But not everything can be prevented, and it’s impossible to predict personality. Just ask Herman Blume (“Never in my wildest imagination did I ever dream I would have sons like these.”).

If my son turns out to be a raging a-hole, I’ll have little recourse. I can’t go back to the future to save him, I can’t just return him to the pound (though boarding school may eventually be a decent option), and despite how logical it seems, they don’t allow post-birth abortions:

And I’m sure I’ll love him unconditionally and be worried about him and wish the best for him and all that, no matter what. If Rosemary can do it, so can I!

I just hope that I end up with someone I can tolerate, or else the rest of my life will be pretty miserable.

And so will his. So help me God, SO WILL HIS.

  1. Eine  Lord Lucky Casino App gibt es zwar nicht, dafür kann die Webseite auch über ein Mobilgerät aufgerufen werden. Diese
    stellt sicher, dass keiner auf deine Daten Zugriff erhält, der hierzu nicht berechtigt ist.
    Innerhalb weniger Millisekunden steht dir diese zur
    Verfügung, sodass du sofort mit dem Spielen loslegen kannst.
    Auch die Ladezeiten der Webseite können sich sehen lassen. Mögliche holprige Textpassagen oder gar falsch übersetzte Texte gehören der Vergangenheit
    an.
    Dennoch dürfen Tischspiele bei Lord Lucky leider nicht angeboten werden. Die größten Klassiker sind Blackjack und Roulette, es gibt
    aber auch noch viele weitere Tischspiele Online wie Craps oder Baccarat.
    Bereitgestellt werden dir einfache, klassische Slots
    oder moderne Spiele mit einem komplexeren Aufbau und Bonusrunden. Aufgrund der deutschen Lizenz, die
    die Spielauswahl reguliert, sind Tischspiele, Live Games und Jackpots
    verboten. Die Freispiele hingegen sind nur 7 Tage gültig
    und die Gewinne daraus müssen in dieser Zeit umgesetzt werden. Um den Bonus zu erhalten, musst du nach deiner Anmeldung eine Einzahlung von 10€ tätigen und den Code WELCOME angeben.
    Wie meine Lord Lucky Erfahrung gezeigt hat, zählen zum
    Sortiment der virtuellen Spielhalle Top Titel wie Book of Dead, Moon Princess,
    Dead or Alive und Wolf Gold. Es muss nicht unbedingt eine bestimmte Spielkategorie sein – ihr könnt die Games auch nach
    Herstellern filtern oder die Stichwortsuche nutzen. Allein die riesengroße Menge der
    Spiele bedingt, dass für jeden Geschmack das Richtige
    dabei ist.

  2. I began by checking if the casino has a valid license from a trusted
    authority. My curiosity about digital gambling led me to test platforms.
    Always remember to play for fun, stay safe, and gamble
    responsibly. Gambling can become addictive, so it’s important to set limits and get professional support if you need help.
    This guide shares my journey, packed with honest reviews,
    expert opinions,  insider tips, and everything I needed
    to play with confidence. But look for an internationally licensed site with a good reputation,
    secure banking, and a decent game library.
    You’ll find that global licenses from expert regulatory bodies – like the
    Curaçao Gaming Authority or Gaming Control Anjouan –
    back many offshore casinos. In Australia, online gambling is partially legal, depending
    on the service you want. As with all e-wallets,
    it might not qualify if you want to claim a bonus so make sure
    you’ve checked before making a deposit.

  3. For a comprehensive guide to casinos that offer fast payouts, refer to this page
    If you’re a player who enjoys betting big and reaping equally significant rewards, high roller casinos are tailored for
    you. In Australia, players have access to several resources designed to promote safe
    gambling practices and provide support to those who may be experiencing problems.
    Live dealer games are for those who enjoy the thrill of the casino floor but prefer the comfort of their home.
    Online casino sites provide comprehensive betting
    options, from simple win-lose bets to more complex bets like point
    spreads and futures.
    Neospin is also a very secure online casino, as all of your personal
    information will be heavily encrypted in order to protect it from getting into the wrong hands.
    The pros significantly outweigh the cons here, and since MrPacho is
    first and foremost a 100% safe online casino, all we can do
    is give it a thumbs up! Licensed by Curacao eGaming and
    fully SSL-encrypted, MrPacho checks all the key boxes that a legit online casino should have.

    The best part is that you can even play these online pokies
    with payID.
    With Casino Rocket, you can get a jackpot with only $5 deposit!
    This is the lowest offer in terms of spins at the moment, but not the worst.
    It is because actions like these indicate abuse towards the casino, which strictly prohibits your transactions despite
    your prize amount. In other words, you need to invest
    a certain number of bets before you can qualify for the cash out
    of a bonus.
