Would you trust me to look after your child/children for one week?

Who on this forum would you you trust to care for your children for a week?

Hmmm...

Yes. I would trust you. I would trust many people on this forum.

Only a week? Dude, RAISE my kids!


...I want the money...

As much as I respect a few people off here, and I'm sure there are others who would be perfectly capable, at the end of the day you could be anybody...so, not in a million years.

Um, nope. I'll warp her myself, thank you.

I might leave her with her grandmother (husbands mom, not mine) for a week, but only if her aunts didn't have access to her most of that time. And that's because she is very respectful of the way I want to warp her and doesn't impose her own warping very much. She's going to get warped one way or another. I'd rather keep the warping for myself. ;)

I would trust my husband (yeah, he is on here although not often)

and Sinuhue...........

and that's about it.


sorry guys, I have high maintenance kids, complete with weird diseases and uncommon food intolerances.

Zooke, Smukeeville, Der Furher Dsyzel, Fass, and quite a few others. :)

Sure.
*Whacks off into tin cup*
Now you can go take that, find yourself a few unfertilized eggs, and keep the hypothetical buggers their whole damn lives.
With my genes, and your . . . um, whatever it is you have, they could grow up to be quite dangerous.

Zooke, Smurkeville, Der Furher Dsyzel, Fass, and quite a few others. :)

You'd trust Fass with your kid?

:confused:

(and what about me!)

Zooke, Smurkeville, Der Furher Dsyzel, Fass, and quite a few others. :)
thanks (although I am assuming that you meant me)

You'd trust Fass with your kid?

:confused:

(and what about me!)
Yes. I know Fass pretty well by now and he's a kind, responsible person.

I probably would trust you too, but I know the ones I listed lots better just now. :)

I would let you raise my non-existant kids.

thanks (although I am assuming that you meant me)
Couldn't remember how to spell your name. Sorry! ;)

Couldn't remember how to spell your name. Sorry! ;)
that's okay, I was just messing with you anyway:p

I'd let Eutrusca, Disraeliland, Super-power, and a few others watch them.

[ takes Smunkeeville off his list ] Heh! Just kidding! ;)

Awww! How sweet! :fluffle:

Who on this forum would you you trust to care for your children for a week?

Would you try to indoctrinate them in your own personal philosophies?

ROFLMAO!!! He doesn't have any of those! :D

It really wouldn't matter with my kids if someone did, because they have been taught to think for themselves.

I picked Sinuhue because I think
a it would be good for them to hear from the "other side" for a week
and
b I know that I could trust her to be viligent with their special diet.

although if they were a little older I might let them go over and see UpwardThrust for a week, but I think at the age they are now, they could annoy him a little too much.;)


*btw, I know you weren't talking to me, but I like to read myself type so I answered anyway..............

ROFLMAO!!! He doesn't have any of those! :D
That's not fair, he does have stances on many issues.
Like what?
Like, um, er . . . Mud Puddles! LG's quite fond of them, and I'm sure that is a political issue somewhere (damn near everything else is).

I object in the strongest possible form. It is in clear violation of my client's right to deploy smilies without first revealing them to the defense in Discovery. We need time to develop a defense against this unfair attack, and that time wasn;t granted.
I move for a mistrial!

how old does my kid have to be?

in reality he's 19 so yeah i think he'd have a great time spending a week in goofball land.

if he were a minor, i wouldnt trust anyone here since i dont know them

if we are taking people at "face" value... and if he were a minor under 10....

zooke, smunkeeville, and maybe eutrusca.

*edit*

over 10, no one, it wouldnt be right to inflict him on anyone who would have to be responsible for his actions.

[ loud crack of Judge bringing down gavel ] "Motion denied!" :p

... and maybe eutrusca.
"Maybe?" "MAYBE???" [ weeps ]

I'm somewhat paranoid, sooo hmmm...

I'd trust Der Fuhrer Dyszel, Sinuhue, Eutrusca and probably Stephistan (is she even here anymore?) to take care of my non-existant children for a week. Maybe.

[ loud crack of Judge bringing down gavel ] "Motion denied!" :p
The Judge can't also be the persecutor! Your making a mockery of the whol mock trial system! I will not stand here and watch as the grand tradition of pretending to be a lawyer on the Interweb is made light of!

That's not fair, he does have stances on many issues.

Actually he does. And he's even been known to post them. :eek:
For example, I know his stance on global warming, as he's posted that several times. (In short form, it's to the effect that he's sceptical of the data.)

I'd agree with Ashmoria that I don't really know anybody here.

But, LG, Eutrusca, Sinuhue, and Stephistan if I knew them in person to be as they are online, and maybe Zooke, Smunkeeville, and Ashmoria, as I'm not as familiar with them. probably a couple of others I am forgeting, and a few who've passed into the great internet beyond NS.

"Maybe?" "MAYBE???" [ weeps ]
have you watched a small child for a week recently?

its exhausting.

i could do it. but it would have to be an emergency and i would be utterly done in by the end.

Yes. I know Fass pretty well by now and he's a kind, responsible person.

Hush, you're ruining my image! They're not supposed to know I'm not that bad a person at all. ;) :fluffle:

Um ... I've watched my grandsons on occasion, but not for an entire week. :eek:

Damn you.

Perhaps Fass is only nice when his guard is down? :p

My guard is always down. As my grandmother used to say, "you can fit a lot less in this hand" *pointing to closed hand* "than you can in this." *opening formerly closed hand*

But, this is the Internet. It does no one justice. Eutrusca and I have spoken through Skype and that is a lot more revealing about true character and personality than this written, adversarial forum.

You have a grandmother?

I thought you were conceived in a laboratory.

Indeed. I often find myself befriending people I formerly came into opposition with prior to further discussion with them.

Not any more. :(

The shame of having heterosexual parents never really does pass.

Nor does the shame of having a homosexual child pass for them usually :rolleyes: ...even after thousands of years of societal "evolution".

2. Meh. Who cares? If they can't get over it, then they're not worth being in your life.

For your sake then, I will quote. I have been asked before by moderators not to quote when a reply immediately follows a post so as to avoid flooding.

True, but that can only be said once you are financially self-sufficient and independent. If you are not, well that is a situation I am fortunate enough not to have encountered and happy to have avoided.

I have two concerns about leaving the theoratical kids with Lunatic Goofballs-

1. Worried that I would be pelted with "When we going back to Uncle Goofballs, Dad? When we going back to Uncle Goofballs, Dad? When we going back to Uncle Goofballs, Dad?"

2. Being pelted in general with mudballs that Lunatic Goofballs taught them how to make more stingy.

Other than that, sure why not.

Hmmmm...NS Childcare Co-Op?

I don't think they meant regular posts, but just really long posts, which it's nice to either "--snip--" or make size=1.

That's why I usually tell young people who want to come out, but fear harsh repercussions to wait until they know they can handle them.

i think that if i had kids i could trust most of NS to take care of them.
it could be quite fun actualy.....Fass could teach them not to be scared of people that are differan than they are; Eutrusca could tell them storys about war and such; Lunitic Goofballs could teach them lost of pranks to pull at school and in college; Smunkeeville because she has kids; Upwardthrust could teach them about computers.
it could all work out quite nicely.......

Noted. The speed at which this forum moves at may make it a necessity to quote anyway.

I have yet to come out to them, yet at least I have ensured that I am self-sufficient. I think things out very carefully, and I am rather suspicious of people by nature, so at least I have my independence.

Does that mean you are? Ambiguity. Anyway, if you are, what's holding you back, if you don't mind me asking?

I am indeed, it is rather obvious I think from what I have just said. :) I am in no mood for drama on their part at this point in my life. I am still undecided as to what direction I am heading in in my life (I am still 19), and even if they do live thousands of miles away, I am in no mood to come out at this point.

Now I will reciprocate, and ask, what about you?

Oh, I missed the edit. It's quite cheeky to edit just before I hit reply, so that I still quote the edit, but don't have time to read it. :p

Valid point. They don't need to know, but, you know, it's nice not to get questions about girlfriends any more.

I moved out when I was 16 and became financially self-supportive around your age, and also came out at about the same time as that. My father had died before I did, and my mother has been less than understanding and supportive of this, so I am glad I waited until I could take care of myself before I did it.

Damn you.
Hehehe! Live with it, you dweeb! :D

Those are indeed irritating. Even when I was young I was fiercely private, and now still, I leave it for them to guess. I either give vague answers, or tell them that my personal life is not of their concern. The words that parents hate hearing the most :p Why on earth would I want to marry some girl and go have children with her? The latter part of the proposition is nearly as disturbing as the former.

Indeed, and it seems you thought it out well. My mother would likely be tolerant of it, yet my father would not be amused. His problem as far as I am concerned. I could debate it through with him, as I am good at this, but as I said, I am in no mood for drama right now.

Hmmmm...NS Childcare Co-Op?
Probably not a bad idea, but for some one hell of a commute! :D

Hehehe! Live with it, you dweeb! :D

Just you wait until I let everyone know what sort of non-"right wing nutjob" person you really are!

But, then, this is a thread about trust and I would never betray your deep, dark secret in such a manner. Ever. :p

Oh no, now he wouldn't want that, would he? :p

Would you try to indoctrinate them in your own personal philosophies?

No. Just unravel any extraneous ones they picked up along the way. :)

ROFLMAO!!! He doesn't have any of those! :D

SUre I do! They just change depending on my mood. :D

smunkeeville
thanks ;)

first, thanks ;)
second, just cuz I have kids?! I could teach them stuff, I swear.........

Smunkeeville, of course.

Smunkeeville, of course.
aww.... thanks :D

don't be offended that I didn't pick you to watch my kids, believe me with thier health issues they aren't fun to watch, I mostly picked Sinuhue because I have talked to her about thier special needs before and I know she would be great at accomodating them.

If for some reason they came up with a cure for thier autoimmune disorder, I would let you watch them. ;)

oh and Eut, Balipo, Der Drache and Deep Kimchi

aww.... thanks :D

Anyway, I'm only 16.

hmm...LG watching my hypothetical children...I guess, but only if some of his deviousness and fondness of mud puddles and slightly twisted humor rubbed off.

Other than him, I would probably trust Sinuhue...Fass (actually, I think that would be better if they took care of the kids together...might be scaring for the kids, but damn fun to watch)...Eut, Zooke, and Smunkeeville. And possibly fiddle.

Something tells me these children would come out very twisted and confused and a bit devious. And might start refering to me as a "breeder".

YAY! :D

Would you trust me to look after your child/children for one week?

Yeah, right. I'd trust you with kids about as far as I could throw them. Of course, it's a moot point - my kids were taken away by social services because I kept trying to see how far I could throw them.

Yes i have enough faith in you for that but i realise you couldn't be trusted to look after me.

I wouldn't trust anyone here with my (hypothecial) kids. I'm sure that you are all fine people, but I'd probably be breaking some law in giving my kids to random strangers who I know through a form of media that is principally know for it's large collection of pornography.

Although I would enrole them in Camp Goofball. It'd teach them all sort of skills that would be useful in later life.

YAY! :D
Sad thing is you live close enough that if I had children, you could actually corrupt them. Maybe I'll bring my little cousins over for some lessons in the finer art of practical jokes and revenge

sinuhue and eut. and smunkeeville, too. oh and zooke when she's around.

other than that you're all nuts :D

you say that like it's a bad thing.

Moreover, you say it like they aren't. I beg to differ;)
