Would You Be a Cool Parent?

Let's say you're in your 40s with teenage kids. How do you imagine yourself dressing on the weekends?

In sweatpants or really old clothes. Once you're out of the race to find a significant other, you can let yourself go.
Classic and casual. Maybe a collared shirt and khaki pants.
In the latest styles - even if that means shrunken t-shirts and distressed jeans

When you have a family, you will probably drive:

An SUV
A mid life crisis sports car
A station wagon

Your kid gets in trouble for insulting his teacher, but you have to admit that the insult was pretty darn funny. You:

Ground your kid for two weeks, and be mad at yourself for thinking the insult was funny at all
Talk to your kid about what's appropriate to say in what context - and take away his tv privileges
Don't punish your kid, and actually praise him for his wit

Your middle school aged daughter wants to see an R rated movie at a friend’s house that you know is very racy.

Say yes, after you've watched it first and discussed it with your daughter.
Say no, and wonder if they should be really hanging out with that friend.
Say yes. They'll probably watch it anyway.

When you have kids, you:

Plan on cutting back on your social life and career a little, but still remaining active in the adult world
Plan on spending as much time as possible with your kids, no matter what.
Plan on working, traveling alone with your spouse, and spending lots of time with your adult friends

When it comes to cursing in front of your kids:

You'll wash out their mouths with soap if they ever say a four lettered word
You'll try to keep it to a minimum, but no one's perfect
You'll curse, and you don't mind if they do either

Your kids' allowances:

Will be dependent on how many chores they do
Won't exist. You don't want them to be spoiled
Will start when they're young and be generous - you don't want them to get a crappy job
