I think the sentiment is that you want your kids to feel like they can do whatever they want, and you want to help make whatever they want possible. But I'd much rather that "whatever" be something other than the leader of the free world, thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-37086 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:16:21 +0000 LuLu Mom 37086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I would hate to see my child under such pressure &amp; negativity. If they decide to go into politics then of course I will support them, but not what I would hope for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-37077 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:05:37 +0000 Mrsbells 37077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just want my kid to be succesful at whatever they do, I would support whatever they wanted to do, but i wouldnt push them in the direction of politics </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-37074 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:53:06 +0000 Maysprout 37074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I feel like there's too much corruption in the system for anyone to hold the job and keep their conscience clear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-37069 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:46:56 +0000 Adira 37069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I don't know, maybe in 34 more years, we'll be more open to different ethnicities.</p> <p>I honestly don't care. I'm certainly not going to try to guide my children in the direction to be President, but if they want to be, that's their decision. I'll have to hope that I've raised them well enough that they would do a good job, if that ends up being the case. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36995 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:00:51 +0000 Mrs. Armbender 36995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but Chief of Staff would be awesome! or Secretarty of the Interior. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36935 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 10:58:01 +0000 heffalump 36935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they want to then yes. But I'm pretty sure my lo won't want to.I just want her to be able to do whatever she wants to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36485 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 15:15:56 +0000 lemondrop 36485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not one of my goals, but if it ends up being theirs, then I'm supportive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36475 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 14:58:05 +0000 katdevargas 36475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @tana_bk - if that's what they end up wanting, I will be supportive. But really, I just want my kids to grow up with good values &amp; morals, treat people right, make an honest living, &amp; be satisfied with who they are </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36435 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 14:13:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 36435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they really wanted to I would be supportive, but I wouldn't want it for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36426 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 14:01:31 +0000 ALittleP 36426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! Too much bs. My grandfather was a State Senator for 30 plus years and it was terribly difficult on the family. My husband's grandfather was a U.S. Senator and that was even worse! Being in politics can be exciting but is not for everyone.</p> <p>I even dated a guy who was very clear about wanting to go into politics and liked that my family had politics in it and I broke up with him because it was not a path I wanted to take... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36421 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 13:56:00 +0000 Miss Adia 36421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! That's not to say that I wouldn't encourage her to be whatever she wanted to be, but hopefully she doesn't grow up thinking it's a glamorous job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36324 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:35:53 +0000 chopsuey 36324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no! It's the most stressful job ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36269 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:18:07 +0000 mrsjazz 36269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way, Jose! I'd be worrying every single second of the day about an assassination attempt. </p> <p>I like the sentiment behind it--that there is the possibility for all children of all backgrounds to become one of the most important people in our country, but no thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36261 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:12:04 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 36261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I don't think so. And yeah, 3/8 Thai, 1/8 Chinese, 1/2 white may be a tough sell :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36180 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 01:34:24 +0000 Rosie Girl 36180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! It is way stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36174 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 01:13:33 +0000 Boogs 36174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he wanted to then I would support him, but it's not a dream I have for him. I think it's just too dangerous, stressful, and really doesn't seem like that much fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36094 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 23:11:19 +0000 MamaMoose 36094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lord no! I would never want my child to have that kind of pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-kids-to-be-president-of-the-united-states#post-36092 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 23:09:05 +0000 mrbee 36092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was growing up (in the previous century), everyone used to say that anyone could grow up to be President of the United States!</p> <p>But these days, I feel like that's less of a thing. And in any case, I wouldn't want Charlie or Olive to be President. It's just too stressful. Besides, I don't think the country would vote for a 1/2 Korean, 1/4 Japanese, 1/4 White President. Call me a pessmist.</p> <p>Do you want your kids to be President of the United States? </p>
