    Default Your kid just got access to this site

    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?

    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...)

    My kid: "Wow, my mom is a thot."

    Why does Dad type in green, and what is that face?

    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?

    What if? Ha! I'll make sure that's the first thing they see.

    I don't think I've made an absolute fool of myself on here yet, but by the time my child would be of legal, forum browsing age I most likely would have in real life anyway.

    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
