[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're TTC so no kids yet. But hell yeah I would want myself as a parent. DH and I are awesome, have lots of fun, would love to play games. I always came up with the best ideas in my group of friends and am great with unstructured activities. Even now DH and I have weekends where we just pack the car and drive until we hit something interesting to visit. I was a great nanny when I was younger.

That being said, the quiet, studious, shy kid probably wouldn't want me as a parent. Nor would the sporty kid, but DH is all about sports. [/quote] The thing is that you get the kid you get.  You might very well get the quiet, shy, or sporty kid.  A good parent will be a good parent with the kid she gets, not the one she wishes she got.[/quote]

This- a good parent is one because they parent the kid they have not the one they want. I firmly believe that a good parent (not some amazing super parent but someone stable and loving) can parent pretty much any kind of kid because its not about the parent, they can be total opposites on the introvert/extrovert scale or any other such ridiculous things that we always seem to read about but are by no means all there is to a person, and still be a great parent and kid combo because of the love, acceptance and stability.[/quote]
