No, not really, but mostly because I don't have the patience to deal with a kid, nor do I want all the various burdens associated with raising a child.
On the other hand, I've seen A LOT of sh*tty mothers who should have their children taken away from them and be prohibited from ever reproducing (and the same can apply to a lot of fathers). Whenever I come across these people, I can't help but think that I would make a much better parent than them.

I have a little boy who will be 10 in a few weeks.Some days I think I'm an awesome mommy.Other days I feel defeated and think I'm horrible.
All that really matters though is my little man is healthy,smart,and happy...and he loves his momma to pieces regardless of mistakes i make in raising him.
EVERYONE makes mistakes raising their kids. But i think as long as you do what you think is best for them,keep them safe,make them feel loved,and show them respect...you're doing a great job.

No!! That is too difficult! 
I went to a summer camp to be a moderator (not a paying job) and the kids who were only 5 ended up intimidating me with matters I would not expect them to know about and I was sensitive about it.I kept telling them to stop but alas they don't listen. I have no idea what to do when children are misbehaving.

Yes, I think I would but only because I realise how important it is to do that particular job right. Another human being is quite literally dependent upon you making a good job of it. Given the level of responsibility required, it would take a very special set of circumstances for me to actually take on the role, but if I did then I would go all out to do it to the best of my ability.

Heck yeah!! C'mon kids try me, lol. I got 5 kids 7-16yrs old who were my roommates nieces and nephews all cooped up in the house with no toys, cellphones, computers, ipads or video games... together sitting at the dinner table, enjoying and having fun playing either 21 questions or doing educational learning games I printed for free online. And the best thing was they were all helping each other. Of course, I discipline them fairly and hold them accountable for their actions towards themselves and others before having them rejoin the fun. I constantly acknowledge good behavior by words and hugs. Later, reward them with movies, treats, video gaming all the while not letting them get out of control.

Well, I don't think I would make a horrible parent. I make an excellent pet parent! But kids are like actual people and I would have the pressure of raising them into healthy, responsible adults and that is just too grand a task. I would have to get my issues fixed before I can even consider the idea of kids. I am like a big kid myself!

No, no, no! You are already nurturing and caring as a friend, you would be more so with your own child. But I do understand the fear.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I think you would make a pretty fine mother, though.
Thank you.
I can't see myself raising a child for 18 years. I don't think I would do a good job, and I'm not ready to find out yet.
