What would I teach my children?~

                Children are the pride and joy for most parents; having children may be a challenge at most parts but it’s all worth the work. When I grow up I do plan on having children, I prefer to have one but I could go for a two if I wanted to. I would like to have a boy as the eldest and younger girl; this is because I think that I can handle boys way better than I can handle a girl (and the fact that boys have fewer problems to deal with). When I do plan on giving birth to a child, there is always a set of rules that most parents have to make to keep the family sane.
                When I do have a child the main point that I want them to understand is to always respect your elders, no matter what they do or what they say; they may defend themselves when extreme cases happen because some people are crazy. Respect towards an elder is something that my family has been practicing for their entire lives; my family is strict when it comes to respect, if we do not follow we are punished.  Respect is an important thing today in society because most people are quite rude when you think about it; I do not want my children running around disrespecting people for no good reasons. I think that being respectful is a must and my children will be respectful, if they aren't then I have other ways to do so (Military school, church school, anything that will make them respectful).
                Another thing that I would teach my children is to work hard; my parents have always told me that if I wanted to succeed in life I would work harder on the things that I want to accomplish. By teaching me that skill I am confident that if I continue, I will surely achieve my goal. I want my children to learn how to work hard so I will do that. The next thing that I want to teach my children is to never, ever, ever in the entire millennium is to get pregnant or be pregnant before 20. I am against unplanned teen pregnancies; I am 16 and I have raised 3 of my younger cousins (that are now 5, 10 and 11) and I call tell you this, having to take care of a baby is hell. The constant need to be feed, changed and played with is tiring for a teenager and it’s not fun; the yelling, screaming crying, grabbing, hitting, and touching is insane. I do not mean that I do not want a child it is that they are hard to take care of, so if my children want kids, they have to prepare themselves for it.

                Those are the top three teachings that I will teach my children or child in the future; I am still 16 I do not plan on giving birth until I graduate from college and medical school.  Planning on what to teach my children at this age is pretty hard so this is all I can say… Thank you.
