What would happen if I raised my kid all wrong?

Firstly, I don't have a kid. I've always wondered what kind of parent I'd be. I was thinking about how children who overcome obstacles are seen as heroes and what the ultimate obstacle would be.

I was thinking a gay, poor, retarded, biracial, deformed midget orphan would have it pretty bad. Anyway, I digress. What would happen if I raised my child the opposite of the way I was raised?

For instance, teaching him/her that up is down and left is right. Or that talking to people between the hours of 9 am and 2 pm is against the law and you will die if you do it.

It would be pretty interesting to observe don't you think?

 

I often think about teaching my some-day child everything backwards,
but my favorite thing to do would be to somehow take away a colour, any one, say, orange, and let it live it's life without orange.

then one day BAM! orange.
childs mind would be blown.
to make this happen I'd have to pretty much isolate the kid.

This and several other experiments I'd do are the reasons I think I won't have kids.

 

I know! The pressure of having to mold an entire human life.
Something that started so helpless and drooly, and watching it grow into an adult.
I had to raise my four younger siblings in a lot of ways, and I'll tell you that parenting is a never ending job. You need to watch everything you do. However, I think that if your intentions are basically good, and you genuinely love your kids and want what is best for them, it will be alright.

 

I wish my parents did this to me. That just sounds awesome.

 

Serial killer who shops too much and has written teeth and is fixated on you.

 

OP, here, this is for you

 

uuumm.. you planning on never letting this pretend kid watch tv or go outside or talk to other humans?

if so.. you better film it and post it on youtube.

 

They will turn into a sociopath that will go on a killing spree... probably starting with you.

 

You'd have a kid like me.

You don't want that.

 

they'd grow up to become an evil overlord and whip us and beat us and throw us all into death camps.

however they were raised that resulted in that would have been wrong, no matter how right someone or everyone might have thought or said it was.

 

If I was to impose one condition upon my children, it would be that they wouldn't be allowed to watch disney films.

Well, Wall-e could be an exception.

 

Wall-e is awesome! I actually just watched it. On the other hand, I love Disney movies of all kinds.

 

But don't you ever get a sense that they're blatantly trying to appeal to the common denominator? I suppose money is money.

 

I don't actually like many of the new ones... I like the older ones, like Beauty and the Beast and Robin Hood. Also, I love the Lion King.

It probably is appealing to the lowest common denominator but sometimes I just like a feel-good movie.

 

Disney movies are propaganda laced inside money making drivel.

 

Movies are propaganda... what's your point?

 

that I don't like the kind of person they try to mold.

 

There are far worse influences on people than Disney so maybe people should go get their panties in a bunch over those instead. Disney is pretty harmless compared to almost everything else that people subject themselves to.

Explain to me how The Lion King or Robin Hood turns someone into a bad person?

 

Robin hood reinforces social exclusion and lion king is big on maintenance of status quo.

 

lol... I guess that I am ruined for life then. So sad.
