I'm going to teach them right from wrong so hopfully they'll make good decisions in life.

They will attend church every Sunday until they're 18.

And I'll love them and never disown them no patter what they do.

The end.

eh, my sister has three kids. I just go over there and influence her kids. This way I don't have to do any of the crappy parenting stuff.

I'm raising my kids total punx. Only hot topic clothes for them and misfits 24/7.

Be in bed at a semi-reasonable hour on school nights. stay up all night on the weekends, I probably will be
don't break stuff
get okay grades till high school, then I will expect good grades
drinking is fine, just don't show up to school drunk, and don't get caught
sex...meh. 15+ I don't care all that much, just use protection and don't do it when I'm home
look at porn all you want, I really don't care
be somewhat honest, if there's something you really don't want to talk about with me, just say that, I'll understand
chores are optional, but you don't get allowance if you don't do them

that's about all I can think of.

edit: family outings are optional, but usually it's going to a restaurant or ice cream, so I doubt I'll get too many complaints.

We really have never gone to church unless we're with people - friends, funerals, weddings, etc.

I've been to an easter sermon and a christening. That's it. My grandmother and cousins are deeply religious.

Our kid is screwed.

Punch the kids, for god's sake. Seriously, spare the rod, spoil the child all that stuff.

"Daddy can I have--"

*punch*

I wouldn't force my kids to go to church because I find them incredibly creepy.

I gotta side with Moosed on this one, guys. There's nothing wrong with wanting your kid to attend church every Sunday. They can sit their moodily if they'd like, if they don't believe in the religion. But I don't see any problem with at least trying to instill your own religion into your kid. You shouldn't program it into them to the point where they can't make a choice on spirituality for themselves, but it's A-OK in my book to at least offer up your religion (in this case, Christianity) to your kid as a good choice. Sharing a common religion would at least give you some common ground on which to discuss things with your kid.

Let's look at it the other way- let's say you're an atheist. Keeping your kid home on days of worship for different religions and telling him that you think that religion is a load now and then isn't really doing anything more than what Moosed plans on doing for her kids.
