Your Questions About Perfect Parents
Mark asks…
What does teenagers want parents to do, to be perfect parents?
admin answers:
Respect them and their ideas, even if they are different from the parents’ ideas.
Respect comes in many forms, but generally it means listening and making suggestions when appropriate, but allowing them to make their own choices, unless life or property is threatened by it.
Michael asks…
if every single mom & dad in this universe were the most perfect parents there could ever be?
how different would this world be like?
just Curious.
admin answers:
Perfect in who’s eyes. The world could be much better, much worse or not really different at all depending on who is describing perfect. Parents can also only do so much. Individuals are influenced by so many other things – media – genetics – medical/mental issues – friends – enemies – the list is endless. Most parents are as perfect as they can possibly be and still the world is what it is.
Chris asks…
Parents, do you think that parents who feel as though the “Perfect Parenting Gestapo”* is out to get you?
Are being paranoid based upon the guilt they feel about how they are reprimanding/raising their children?
*Not a term I came up with or use. Was seen in another question based on what I perceive to be a delusional individual with a guilty conscience.
admin answers:
A+ at imagining, and parroting labels for, broad social trends that are not really trends. Fluff it out a bit and you could write something for “Time” magazine! Maybe about, say, “Mommy wars”? Something like that, you know, that never actually happens in real life.
Robert asks…
Will a child whose parents had braces before have perfect teeth?
Imagine it this way.
A man and woman with bad crooked teeth. They get braces. They end up with perfect teeth. Later on in life they marry and they have a child. Here’s the question:
Will the child have perfect teeth if it’s in their parents DNA? Or will the child have bad crooked teeth just like the parent’s used to have, and so the child would have to get braces too?
admin answers:
It is pretty unpredictable! It could go either way and can be affected by oral habits (like thumbsucking) that have nothing to do with Mom and Dad. Though my husband and I both had braces and I would’nt be surprised if my son needs them!

Helen asks…
If two parents with perfect genes were to breed two, can the the offspring breed if they have perfect genes?
This applying to humans, could a brother and sister breed if they had perfect genes, and not cause abnormalities in their offspring, as well could this continue for centuries? Don’t worry I’m not looking into inbreeding, just a question to validate about something that was said for educational purposes.
admin answers:
> could a brother and sister breed if they had perfect genes, and not cause abnormalities in their offspring
Yes
> as well could this continue for centuries
No. It could continue for several generations, but eventually new deleterious mutations will start causing problems.
