What does it take to be a good parent?

Sense of humor. Flexibility. Genuine desire to be a good parent.

Unfortunately, there isn't a set formula with "mix A and B and C and you'll get D every time!" for kids, despite what some of the parenting communities might insist :). For every person that posts on an internet parenting comm thinking they're an expert and their kid is perfect, I can point out a serial killer in the making!

Isn't it funny. It seems like the people that actually worry about screwing their kid up are the ones who are being good parents.

By this reasoning I would be a fantastic parent, because I'm terrified of the idea of raising a child.

Yeah...

There's a reason I don't have any either. I tried my hand at being a nanny last year. It's more than a job. It's an adventure.
