#4 Not a good idea. Don't get me wrong, as I hate to see kids hurt...crimes against kids are the toughest part of my job, in fact. As long as I can defend people accused of crimes against kids, I know I can do my job to the degree necessary to protect my clients' rights.
It's just that...well, I don't relate well to the little buggers. I don't understand them, I don't communicate well with them. The first thing my nieces and nephews were taught was "don't bother your Uncle Tom". If there is a place in this world where people are perfect with kids in every way, I live on the opposite side of the globe from that place.
Now, if you want your kids to have nightmares and be afraid of Santa forever, I'm probably a good candidate. Otherwise, no. And in case you don't know or haven't figured out, no, I don't have any kids of my own, and no plans to have any ever, so there's no need to call child protective services over to my home.
