Let’s start this off with the basics; do you even like kids?

Yeah, absolutely!

I guess so as long as they are not crying.

They're okay. Who doesn't like kids.

Not really. They always seem so needy.

Have you ever been around a child? (0-12yr)

Quite a bit. Kids love me.

Young kids but no babies and absolutely no diapers.

Yeah, I’ve babysat for a family member or friend before. #neveragain

Not really.

Do you get along well with kids?

Oh yeah, kids love me!

It depends on the child, but I’ve had some pretty successful encounters hanging out with kids.

Not usually. It takes them a while to warm up, if they ever do

No. Children see me and they run for the hills, screaming all the way. The feeling is mutual, btw.

How much do you feel you know about children?

A lot. I’ve been around kids plenty and I think I have a solid handle on things.

A fair bit. I’m no expert by any means, but I feel like I could make due.

I feel like I have a lot to learn.

Nothing. I feel like they’re an entirely different species.

What’s your track record with pets?

Love them. I have, or have had plenty of pets that lived long, happy lives.

I’ve had a pet in the last 5 years. No problems there.

My parents made me get a dog at one point. I wasn’t really into it and never took care of it.

I had a goldfish once when I was a kid that I won at the county fair. He didn’t make it.

If your friend or family member needed to go out of town for a few days, and needed someone to watch their kid, would they call you?

I’d be the first number they’d dial.

I would be high on the list, but not the first call they make.

I might be on the list, but they’d cross their fingers that they don't have to pick-up the phone.

If I ever ended up on that list, I’d make sure to sneak into their house and erase my name.

How do you feel about the thought of being a parent?

I’m elated! I couldn’t be more excited!

I’m nervous, but I’m also anxious to see how well I do…

I don’t have many feelings on the subject, I’m mostly just terrified.

Of what, like a person?

How long have you and your partner been together?

A long while. We’re planning on spending the rest of our lives together.

A little bit. Not too long, but we’ll see where it goes.

We just got together, but we’ve known each other for a while.

I met her last week and now we’re moving in together!

Do you feel like your life is ready for a child?

Absolutely! This has been in the works for a while!

Sort of; now is as good a time as any!

There’s still so much I want to do and I feel like a child will tie me down.

No. Not at all.

Do you know how often you should feed a child?

Three balanced meals a day and a couple of healthy snacks.

Three times a day.

Whenever I eat.

You mean I have to feed these things too?

Which is the healthiest and best meal for a child?

Chicken, rice, broccoli, peaches.

Fried chicken, broccoli and cheese, peach pie.

Chicken nuggets and French fries

Pizza and beer.

Would having a child right now put a strain on your personal or family finances?

My wife and I do pretty well, and we’ve spent a good amount of time budgeting out childcare expenses.

It would be challenging, but we’ve planned for this and have some money saved up.

Well, it can’t cost as much as they say? I mean, diapers are cheap. I see them at the dollar store.

It will strain my finances as well as every other part of my life.

Complete this sentence with the phrase that best describes your outlook. Having a child means…

Starting a wonderful new path, and fulfilling an important role in my life.

Hard work, but well worth it

I’m be paying for this for the next 18 years…

My life is over.

Quiz: Are you ready to be a parent?

Yeah, it’s a “no” for me.

We’re not saying you’ll NEVER be ready to be a parent, but it seems obvious that now is not the time. You don’t appear to have a firm grasp on what being a parent means. You also don’t seem to be all that interested in being one anyway. Not everyone is cut out for it, and there’s nothing wrong if that’s not what you want out of life. If you do aspire to be a dad, however, it’s time to start growing up a bit yourself and learning what goes into parenting. It’s a long, and bumpy road. Don’t turn onto it until you’re ready.

Quiz: Are you ready to be a parent?

Not Quite There Yet.

Probably not yet, but you’re on your way! Like we said, parenting isn’t for everyone. Maybe you should try a parenting class, if you’re that interested! They’re packed with useful tips for first-timers and for people who just want to get comfortable with the idea of being around children! Deciding to be a parent is an important decision, and shouldn’t be rushed or taken lightly. If you’re clear that this is something you want, then it’s time to start educating yourself.

Quiz: Are you ready to be a parent?

You’re almost there!

We’re not going to say that becoming a parent at this point in your life is the best idea, but it’s also probably not the worst either! Look, there’s no “one size fits all” book on parenting. If there was, everyone would read it and everyone would be just fine. That doesn’t exist. What you can do is maybe ask some friends or relatives to come on over with their kids, or ask if you could babysit. Anything that would help get you a little more experienced with kids would be beneficial. You’ve got a good amount of knowledge already. Time to build on it and make sure you know what you’re in for!

Quiz: Are you ready to be a parent?

Parent of the year!

Are you sure you don’t have kids already? Because you, my friend seem to have this parenting thing figured out already! Parenting is a wonderful journey, full of ups and downs, and bumps in the road. In the end, most men will tell you it’s the most important thing they ever did with themselves. Still, nothing can truly prepare you for all of the curveballs parenting will throw you. Taking a class, or spending some more time around children might help you get better prepared, but you’re doing pretty good on your own!
