I would like to share with you some things that will help your kid grow up to be a normal and productive member of society. If you don't care about that then think about wanting a kid who will still like you as an adult because he could have your geriatric future in his hands. It could mean the difference between living in a nice home where you will be taken care of by family or having the final years of your life being spent in a hellish nightmare of a corrupt nursing home where they flip you out of your bed for fun.

1.) Give him a normal name. Remember kids will make fun of any little thing and it could last from K-12. Mike is always a safe bet.

2.) For the love of God stay away from the school at all costs. The only exception is parent-teacher conferences. Anything else will range from being embarrassing to downright intrusive. If the home life is messed up then at least let them develop a social life at school without any interference. This means that you let them go on field trips without you or some other family member being a chaperone. You don't tell teachers that they can't do certain things because of some weird religion you believe in.

3.) Please at all costs buy him new clothes every school year. New shoes, at least 2 pairs of blue jeans and at least 5 different shirts for each day of school. When your wearing the same 2 shirts it tends to get unwanted attention.

4.) Don't force foods down the kids throat he doesn't like. Give him some choices that will create a well balanced diet. Explain what good and bad food does to the body. Don't just say, "because I said so." If you into health food your forcing it on him will make him eat junk food every chance he gets. Also kids are growing so they should get to eat until their full. Don't let the dad fill his fat face and then give the kids the scraps.

5.) Explain exactly why you say no to anything so he doesn't think you just being mean. Don't say no to everything he wants to do or act like its to hard or embarrassing.

6.) If you catch him masturbating just ignore it or don't get all freaked out. Don't spend years doing middle of the night surprise wake up checks throwing the covers off him to see where his hands are. It really won't help his normal development.

7.) If the kid actually gets some friends then don't act all weird and embarrassing if he invites them over. Same goes for girl friends as well.

8.) Don't hoard all the money for the dad's luxuries or gambling. Open an account now for college and maybe to have some cash to start out adult life with.

9.) If the dad is one of them weird king commander controller types who says no to everything and whose sole purpose is to make sure that no one has any fun then get rid of his dead recliner sitting TV watching weight right now. Your kid will be better without a dad if that's the case.

10.) No hitting or spanking. Especially hits up side the head in front of other people for every little thing he does wrong. It just will just build of an anger all the way into adulthood. The other end of the spectrum which is the time outs and stay in your room isn't good either. If they do something wrong then take away toys, privileges, etc. Also reward them for good behavior.

11.) Your kid is not to be used as a servant or work horse. Other than cleaning their own room and returning other areas to the state they found it in they should not be responsible for a home they don't own unless you want to place their name on the mortgage or lease. That means do your own yard work, wash your own car, and clean your own house. You can however give them a choice and pay them money.

12.) Make their childhood fun. Its a once in a lifetime thing after all so make it special.  Buy them some new toys at least once a year so their not 10 and still playing with baby toys and toilet paper rolls. Have a yearly vacation to some new place. Once a month go somewhere interesting like the zoo or museum. Don't just be lazy and sit around the house year after boring year. Live a little for petes sake.

Remember your forcing someone to exist in this hellish world who was in the sweet perfect slumber of non-existence. You should at least read some books on proper parenting and make a real effort to raise a normal kid.  If your life sucks for whatever reason then don't selfishly have a kid because you'll just damn him to the same fate.
