Do you think Abi would make a good father?

This poll was inspired by Fuzzy's thread about parenting.

I will be taking the results of this poll with a pinch of salt, so don't be afraid to give your honest opinion.

Votes are NOT public.

Re: Do you think Abi would make a good father?

A father requires a good sense of humor, I think ya got that one covered. That, and I don't think you'll be locking your kids in closets or anything.

Re: Do you think Abi would make a good father?

No. It's just that I decided a while ago that I will probably not have kids, and then read all the parents' responses on Fuzzy's thread about how you "naturally fall into the role and become responsible and blah", so I got curious.

But if it was to happen you'd be assymilated into parenthood - resistance is futile (sorry reference to the Borg)

Re: Do you think Abi would make a good father?

I think you'd be a great pappy! You have a big heart, good sense of humor, and.....as my pop used to say....you use your head for more than a hat rack. That's a hell of a good start, and the rest sort of falls into place.

Re: Do you think Abi would make a good father?

You'd rise to the occasion. No one is a perfect parent.

Re: Do you think Abi would make a good father?

You already have a cat don't you? So how hard can it be?

But pun aside, I think you would be a wonderful father.

Re: Do you think Abi would make a good father?

I voted great father. The real judge is your child anyway. And they are pretty forgiving. Just love em. The rest sorts itself out. Besides, they may look like they break easy, but they are actually quite rubbery.
