Ask HN: How Would You Raise a Child? Given you had unlimited resources (including money) & if you had an abundance of free time how would you raise a child to give it the best chance as success & fulfilment in life. What gender & why? Would you do anything to prepare like research any topics? Would adjust your diet/ health before you conceive to yield better genetics? What would be your preferred age of parenthood? |
It’s also worth noting that we should live our life as well. Raising children is only one part of this life. Success and fulfillment depends on so many factors, that no effort can bring warranty, especially if we venture outside of social norms and expectations (do a monastic life brings success and fulfillment? How can a preparation for corporate life can help succeed in a monastic life?)
I feel like a lot of people wish they received a "handbook" on how to tackle life, or at least certain stages of it
I should have worded the question differently to be at least a little bit realistic, something like an early retiree with a good sum of money in the bank, enough to travel to any desired location and live comfortably
What exactly is wrong with her? Sure she is a bit pretentious, but she goes to Stanford, she is an intelligent woman!
