Should I raise my children w/ religion?
Answer logically, whether you have a religion or not, do not let it influence your answers. I was raised by Christian parents, they weren't the type who went to church everyday or anything, they also weren't drilling it in my head either. I am older now, and very agnostic. I am a straight A student, always have been, I'm also very logical and science is my favorite subject. I like to think I believe in god, but I just don't... I feel like life just is. I also don't even like the bibles teachings. Keeping this in mind when I have children someday what do I do? Should I raise my children to believe in god? I shouldn't teach my children something I don't believe in right? But I don't want to deny them of religion either. I don't want them to believe in (whatever religion) because of my influence I would rather them decided when they are older. But then how will I answer their questions of, how did everything start, or why do we celebrate Christmas, or what happens when we die? Also I remember when I was first in school, the kids biggest question among eachother was "do you believe in god?" All the preschoolers asked eachother in my class at the time, Muslims, Christians, Jewish, even kids who didn't believe in anything. What happens if my child hears about god or other gods and religions from others and they ask me if it is true? Do I tell them it is, do I tell them it isn't? Surely I can't tell them I don't know. Also another argument is, I couldn't just inform my future children minimally of god and Jesus. They would want to learn more. I don't want to raise my children to believe something I'm unsure of+believe is illogical, and especially when the bible teaches some immoral things. Such as homosexuality. I respect everyone. I don't want to believe in a religion that goes against my morals and could effect my children's as well. Please answer, Thank you,
How are turkish children raised?
i think yes Türk children are spoiled and this spoiling thing is being showed as love by the parents but it is not.when a child makes a something really bad the parents say ''ohhh it is just a child'' but those idiots are supposed to be raise and control their own kids but no they just know to say ''well done honey'' In my family i dont care about my father but my mom is sooo important for me.we never had strict rules in our house but about studying yes (not includes my parents) they force them so much cos education system sucks i have a cousin who is 21 year old and still trying to pass the university exam and her mother says she will try every year until she comes the age of 35 and doesnt allow her to work.she continues taking courses for uni exams.and in Türkiye from the primary school kids go to DERSHANE after schools or/and at weekends.Dershane is a place like school but you just take courses to develope your speed on solving (such as math,science,Türkçe) problems. Türkiye is changing and in modern places it is hard to find the old tradition.In our house we dont like my father cooks so we tell our mom to stop him.he just makes salads and puts his finger when mom makes a desert.Im21 years old girl and i never wash the dishes.i have my own glass and spoon i just wash these.when mom is away usually my father and elder brother washes and i make my own meal or i just go outside to buy a döner or kebap.I usually leave the house early for job or uni so sometimes mom tidies up my room but im not ok about this cos i dont like her presence in my room. I think Türk men are bad husbands at sharing responsibilities so my advise is stay away:))ohhhhh am i wrong??????
What's the most disturbing truth about raising children?
The most disturbing truth about raising children is how many parents believe that they are not responsible for how their child turns out (especially when things are not in their favor) because "they are who they are".This is simply not true.A recent study published by Dr. Beben Benyamin from the Queensland Brain Institute and researchers at the VU University of Amsterdam shows that nurture is at least as important as nature in terms of influence on a person's behavior (51% vs 49%). This study analyzed more than half a century of research, 2,748 publications and more than 14.5 million pairs of twins, virtually all published twin studies of complex human traits.But the large impact of parenting on a child's behavior is not a new discovery. Half a century ago, developmental psychologist, Diana Baumrind, identified several main types of parenting styles - authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and neglectful. Since then, this classification has been researched and tested in many different ways and in many different countries, showing that different parenting approaches are associated with differences in academic performance, psychological well-being, social competence, drugs or alcohol abuse, mental issues, violent tendencies and self-esteem in the child.It is baffling how many parents believe that their own (bad) behavior would not affect their child's behavior:There are parents who spank their child to teach the child not to hit others.There are parents who don't treat their child with respect but expect the child to respect others.There are parents who yell at their child to stop the child from yelling.etc.It is true that no parents can have complete control over their child's behavior and children are also influenced by their peers, neighbors, society, etc. And as the above-mentioned research indicates, genetics play an equally substantial part in a person's behavior and personality trait. However, the prevalence of parents using "they are who they are" as an excuse to not take responsibility is one of the most disturbing aspects of child raising.References:Nature vs. Nurture: Which One Determines Who You Are?Meta-analysis of the heritability of human traits based on fifty years of twin studiesParenting Styles - The Science Of Parenting

Why is child rearing seen only as a woman's duty?
Because women perpetuate stereotypes that all men are pedofiles and that men are violent and dangerous and shouldn't be trusted! I know so many women who tell their children: "If you get lost, go find the nearest WOMAN and ask for help! Don't go to a man! Men are evil"! I personally know of two women who tell their children this! Women are hypocrites and never satisfied! They whine about how hard it is to take care of kids and how they wish men would help out...yet, when offer to give a helping hand in child-rearing, women say: "You're doing it wrong! Give them back to me! You're not doing it my way"! My own brother-in-law hardly ever gets to hold his own daughter! Because his wife (my sister) is always cuddling the baby and won't give him a turn! Or, she gives the baby to her grandma (my Mother) to hold?! Men are never given a chance by women to take care of kids! Also, women are outright liars when they say they want men to help in child-rearing. If your husband said to you: "Hey honey, I want to stay at home and raise the kids while you go out and support us"...all the women here would call him a deadbeat and a bum! Women love getting all the sympathy and attention and praise for raising kids...then they love to ***** about how hard it is being a mother and how they never get any help...and when a man tries to offer, he isnt "doing it right" or they think all men are pedofiles and won't let men anywhere near the kids...
Does intelligence depend on gender?
No. The flaw is in your methods. You are holding women up to how "male" their minds are, as a way of measuring intelligence. You could also argue that the needle and thread is mission essential for human survival, whereas the atomic bomb actually is harmful.
