Probably not going to be a parent because I wouldn't have the commitment to be one.

As much as I would want to stay home all day, I am not easily able to be lazy. I would be working while still finding time for my children. Also, putting my children in sports/clubs is going to be pretty important to me UNLESS they don't want to because I have felt this as I was doing sports at a young age, so I would just "hint" at it. I love all sports now but when I was younger, I didn't tend to like anything except English football(not saying soccer) which made my dad fed up but he didn't force me. That's the reason I probably love it so much today because I was not forced into sports, rather nudged in much to the credit of my father.

You just said soccer.

Funny, but slightly off-topic story: I was sitting in TeamSpeak yesterday, and two friends were talking about English Football/American Soccer. I remember hearing this: "England, it's called Soccer when the Americans beat you at it."

Lmao, I put in brackets just to show people that it is the same thing. On the subject on it's called soccer with Americans beat you at it, can't really argue with that. ;)

I'd like to be that cool dad that trust their kids with the internet/going to parties/ etc. But, at the same time I'd want them to know what's right and wrong, and not be that guy that just doesn't care about my kids.

I kinda want to be my dad, because he's pretty much what I explained, and he runs his own business and works at home, so that's cool :)

Its highly unlikely that I'll ever have kids
You might see this as selfish, but I want to be able to spend my earnings in life on myself, and if things turn out right, my future partner and us alone.

I think there's a very direct correlation between parenting and the child's enviroment. I plan to live in a more urban enviroment, so, in 10-15 years from now, I've got no doubt that they're would be a LOT more technology. Parents these days are raising their kids with iPads. I'm 15 and even I played with legos. It's honestly ridiculous how much tech has gone into raising a child, and I honestly don't know how it will when (and if) I have a kid.

If the world has become so much more technologically immersed, then I'd try to give them a balance between tech, and the real world.
