Do you have children? If you do, are you involved in their lives? How do you feel about parenting? If you are not involved in their lives, why?
I have a daughter and yes, I am involved in her life. Aside from being her mother, I am basically her cook, cleaner, nurse, counselor and teacher - She is currently being home-schooled.
I took her out school when she was in year 9 because she was getting into fights (she got suspended a couple of times), was being rude to the teachers and wouldn't do the work they asked her to do. I got sick of attending welfare meetings.
I don't like parenting at all. Being a parent requires a lot of responsibility and I really don't like responsibility.
Are you concerned any mental disorders, including but not limited to, Psychopathy, Sociopathy, AsPD, BPD, NPD, HPD will be past down? If they are how will you feel and handle it?
Years ago, my daughter was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
When she was younger I thought she might develop AsPD as she gets older because she was an aggressive and violent child. Not only did she used to punch and bite me whenever she'd get angry, I was told once that she held a kid down in Day Care and was punching into her. That was before my daughter ever started school. I went through quite a few carers with her because they couldn't handle her aggressive temper tantrums.
When she got older, she came home from school in an angry mood one day and was rude to me during a conversation I was trying to have with her. So, I told her she wasn't allowed to play with her friends and then she threatened to stab me. She didn't pick up the knife though, so I wasn't at all concerned.
On another occasion, we were in a store together and she was getting very bored. She told me wanted to blow up the store.
She used to tie her toys up sometimes. One day I found one hanging off my exercise machine with it's arms and legs bound. she had it hanging by a rope around it's neck.
I think the main reason my daughter acted out so much is because she wasn't getting the attention she needed from me. I'm not an affectionate person and I hated spending time with her. Now that she's older though, we have more things in common and home schooling her means we spend a lot more time together. Her behavior has settled down a lot over the years. So, I really don't think she'll develop AsPD now.
Have you ever gotten someone else pregnant and walked away? Or, have you ever purposely gotten yourself pregnant or told someone you were if you were not?
My pregnancy was a 'surprise'. I didn't plan to have kids, but when I fell pregnant with my daughter, I saw an opportunity and took advantage of the situation. Having a child has it's benefits when you don't want to work. At least, here in Australia it does anyway.
