Would you want your offspring to surpass you in every way?

[DLX]

I want my kids to be much superior to myself. If I have a son, I don't want him to be like how I was growing up. Not that I was bad, but I want him to be his own person. I hope he achieves far more in athletics (if he decides to do so), and I hope he is far more successful financially than I will ever be. Same goes for if I have a daughter.

However, the one thing I wouldn't want my son to have...is a bigger schlong. I'll be honest, if we're taking a piss in a public restroom one day and I just happen to see out of the corner my vision that he's got a hog all the way down to his kneecaps, my pride as a man would be destroyed. I like the idea of being the master hammer holder of the family. I think secretly all men do. It's the one source of pride that we'll never give up.

Do you agree? Or would you in fact be proud of the little runt for surpassing you? Would you just not care?

I wonder how many men never actually get to know if their offspring have surpassed them in life due to not being around...

The world is full of people to compete with. There's no need to view your own family as competition.

I'm making sure he knows his options and I'm transferring my G.I Bill to him so the little shit better go to College .

My dad Died when I was 18 . Died when I was in Boot Camp, talked in letters about how he was looking forward to going to my Grad Ceremony , still a kick in the Balls when I recall the Morning I got the Phone Call.

Of course i do, and i tell them that. You always want the next generation in general to be better than the last. Makes sense you would want your kids to also.

I'd want my child to succeed in every way possible. I'd be pissed if he grew taller than 5'8 though. He's gotta be shorter than me so I have ultimate authority over him

 

[Pugilistic]

Sure, I just don't want him to have a bigger dick than me.

It all depends on the situation.

If you have feelings for some chick, but you know your brother or cousin likes her too, would you just let him have her? Wouldn't you be upset if he ended up with her? In sone circumstances, I believe there are reasons to be competitive with your own family ofc.

Is two people who like each other ending up together really a matter of one relative surpassing another?

My kid already passed me in the educational dept. as he’s in college and I barely finished high school.

I’m destined to drive front loaders and dig ditches for the rest of my life. Well, atleast till I ‘retire’, and then I’ll have to deliver pizzas or some shit. He’ll be in a suit in some office somewhere doing coke with hookers.(thats whats businessmen do, right.)

He’s shorter than me(unless he grows more at 20) but I ain’t measured our dongs together with a ruler in a few years so maybe he has me beat there.



That dong measuring thing is a joke, btw.

 

[Kardashians]

Tbh I want everybody (that isn’t scum) to be doing better than I am. Why not my non existent children too lol.

 

[mb23100]

Who wouldn't? In fact my life purpose would be setting him up to be more successful than I was

 

[Simian Raticus]

Ultimately they're their own people and their criteria for success may look drastically different to yours.

I think the best you can hope for is that they are happy and content, and a large component of that will be doing well with the things that are important to them.

I wouldn't want my son to lack confidence because of his physical short comings for the same reasons I do so I certainly would want him to be taller and bigger than I am. It's not like we'd be competing for the same women and I've already nailed the most important woman in his life, his mum.

Anytime he wins in life it's a win for me.

 

[fordman7795]

Im the best there is, best there was and best there ever will be so for me this topic is moot

 

[My name is]

Yes

 

[FyrFytr998]

The whole point of parenting is to try and make a better version of yourself.

 

[boingyman]

Why wouldn't I? I'll admit though I would try my best to out sprint my sons and out bench them for as long as possible though.

 

[Graves The Elder]

yes.
