So your 13 year old just got their full access to join internet forums from you and have stumbled upon Eyes on Final Fantasy. They sign up and lo and behold, there's their mom or dad just posting away. A quick 'find all posts by this user' later and they have the full rundown of your entire EoFF career.
What would they discover and what would your reaction be?
"Oh good, I'm glad it's not just me that my dad is a total sociopathic arsehole to."
I mean, I would say they'd be shocked at how much I objectify random hot guys, but they're going to find that out WAAAAY before they're 13. And they're already going to know I'm a lame nerdy type by that point. So... honestly I'd be surprised if they discover anything notable, to be honest. If you're reading this, future child, stop trawling your Dad's online past. It's weird and creepy, and I'm disappointed in you. Go to your room!
They'll think Mom and Dad are huge dorks, but that's some they would have already known. Mostly they'll think, "Jesus Christ Mom and Dad had too much time on their hands."
I'll never have children so this isn't a concern to me.
(Future kid to future me: So you never wanted me huh...)
Wow. Mum is crazy and so is Dad.
Jinx please explain why that sentence contains bad grammar in perfect detail so that my son, Pterodactyl, can learn from his mistakesQuote:

Why does Dad type in green, and what is that :bigsmile: face?
"So this is where you've spent your whole life instead of being successful. We could be eating out of crystal, mom! If only you'd have got off the internet and did something with your life"
my kid would be an asshole apparently.
I'd be so proud that mine and Mr. Carny's child would do something so nerdy as join a Final Fantasy forum.
I don't think they'll see anything truly shocking, though it depends on how far back they're looking I guess.
What if Formy JR found the Balthier Rocks stuff? :bigsmile:Quote:

The obvious angle to this thread is how a hypothetical kid (or a real kid when the kid gets old enough) calls out a parent for some unsavory or just plain dumb things they said in the past. I already have an answer for this because something similar has happened to me. So if my kid called me out on something I wrote a long time ago, especially if it was over a decade ago I'd say something like, "Yeah, I was a different person then. Things change and people grow. Do you think it would be fair for one of your classmates to judge you today on something silly you said on the playground when you were 4?"
So future kid, smurf YOU AND CLEAN YOUR ROOM AND STOP LISTENING TO LADY GAGA THE 8th!!21HJ;KHWE; JKDHX
"Gosh Mom, your artwork didn't translate that well onto the computer. You didn't know how to use a scanner very well back then, huh?"

The premise of the thread alone is enough to put me off of having children.
Hey future Loan Wold Lebannonhart's kid. Back in the day your father used to be called Lone Wolf LeonFART. He says it's the pinnacle of all humor and you should address him like this from now on.Quote:

Get off the comp and go back to playing and beating every game from my childhood!
Your kids joining this place soon?Quote:

Mine would simply learn I was just as insufferable when I was young as well. ;)

"yeah, no denying those are dad's posts"
Sadly, it’s moot cause I can’t get any of my kids to play a FF to save my life.
