What is your parenting style (whether or not you have kids)?
#2
My parenting style is as follows
1) There are rules, and some of them are strict, but it's important to me that you understand them, so I will do my best to explain them thoroughly and encourage questions. 
2) Public school is a joke. I am not having kids until I know I can afford a good private school and private tutor. 
3) It's important to have time to yourself. None of this "you have to stay busy!" nonsense that boomers tried to shove down my throat.
4) I am an extremely affectionate person. I will let you know regularly that I will always love you. 
5) Anyone living in my household will know the basics of budgeting, financial responsibility and bare bones investing before leaving. You don't have to become rich, but you will know what managing money looks like in the real world so that you can use it to do/get what you want.
6) I'm not anti-sexuality by any means, but I will make sure my children understand the consequences of both irresponsible sex and having sex with an excessive amount of partners. Note: the consequences of this are not necessarily the same for males and females, because the mechanisms of pair bonding work differently. 
7) If you want me to pay for your post-secondary education, I'm happy to do so, but you have to have a plan first. We will begin working on this no later than when you start high school. "The college experience" is a bunch of price-inflated nonsense that just encourages people to become alcoholics, whores and people who hate their culture, their country, and, often, even their own family. Obviously, plans will change when you're young, but the more you can plan in advance, the better. 
8) If you are trans, I will support you, but no gender-corrective surgery until you are an adult and can make an informed decision. 
9) I am open to spanking, but only for serious offenses where they know the consequences ahead of time, and never out of anger.
10) You have to stay physically fit, but how you choose to do so is up to you.
11) Baring a few exceptions, I am willing to pay for any non-fiction book (print or audio) you want to purchase. 
12) If you are a boy, you need to at least try some form of martial arts, but if you really don't like it, I won't push you.
13) I don't care if you do a little marijuana or alcohol, but no hard drugs.
14) If you want to party, no getting drunk unless you know and trust everyone there. 
15) Punishment is for deliberately breaking rules, not misunderstandings. In the case of the former, I don't tend to scream a lot. The punishment speaks for itself.
16) Punishment for bullying will be especially severe, but, as usual, I will make sure to get both sides of the issue before levying punishment.
17) Malicious gossip will get you punished too. Don't be a passive-aggressive bitch. 
18) We go to church every Sunday. You can make your own decisions about religion as an adult, but this is a Christian household.
19) We will be discussing the common pitfalls people run into in relationships. Most men and women have a natural tendency to be attracted to partners who are very bad for them (usually sociopathic men and BPD women).
20) You are encouraged to get a part time job for extra spending capital.
21) No soft drinks in my household. You will also be instructed on how to cook a variety of meals so that you can avoid the ramen, pizza and mountain dew nonsense most people go through in their early 20s. Even at that age, if you cannot afford good food, I'm happy to spare some extra money if you can prove you're being responsible with it.
22) You have to at least try a musical instrument and/or singing for 2 years. After that, it's up to you if you wish to continue.
23) By the time you are old enough to start asking questions, I will have a file ready of all sorts of studies and evidence to support any lessons I teach you.
24) It's important that my house is a good spot to hangout. I will make a conscious effort not to embarrass you in front of your friends and to make sure there is good food around. 
25) You are allowed to date, but I want to meet him/her. As long as I know they will treat you well and there aren't obvious red flags, I will be supportive, but I reserve the right to intervene if they are someone who will be a destructive influence. 
26) Privacy is important to me. It's important all of my children have their own room and personal space, but, as usual, I reserve the right to search your things under justifiable circumstances. 
27) You will know how to use a gun properly before leaving my household.
28) Truly understanding history is usually not something which is possible for most people before age 18, but I will make sure you know at least the basics of various regimes that lead to human rights violations, including fascism, several iterations of communism, various dogmatic religious cults, etc. You will not leave my house under the naive notion that the world is some good or fair place. 
29) If you don't have speech and debate classes, you will take outside courses or clubs in those subjects.
30) If you have a teen pregnancy, don't get an abortion unless your health is in serious jeopardy. I will take care of my grandchild.
31) "Children should be seen and heard" is a a neglectful and downright evil style of parenting. You are encouraged to share your opinions, but you will also be told when you are misinformed or need to study more before coming to a conclusion.
32) If I ever get servants, you will treat them with as much respect as you treat me or you will be severely punished. They are earning a living and you are not, so no going around thinking you're better than people who work and survive independently, at least until you are able to do the same.
