Parental Examinations

No you shouldnt have to take an exam. For most people, parental instincts develop after their child is born. Its like something hidden side of you that gets unlocked once you have a baby.
For others, they do not have any parental instincts ever and fail to be a good parent. Eventually, if they screw up enough, their kids will be taken away.
But regardless of how the parents are, kids can turn out all right. I was raised by drug addicted alcoholics who used to abuse me and whatnot, but I didnt turn out that way.
I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter what kind of test you take--you'd never pass it in order to be a parent.
I've had 3 kids and they were all different. One was a night owl, one was up at the crack of dawn, one was accident prone, another was never sick a day in her life, one was so talkative that he'd talk the ears off a wooden Indian, another wouldn't tell you if he was starving to death. There is no test in the world that can prepare you for life.
I heard a story in the news about a woman who used her baby as a weapon. SHe picked it up and swung it at her husband like a baseball bat. There was a man who raped his baby and the mother knew about it and did nothing to stop it. I kind of meant an exam to make sure the parents aren't crazy before they start having kids. I know that kids can all be different, as I am the second of four children.
I just heard another thing: this guy bit out his four year old son's eyeball and mutilated the other one. another woman tried to throw her baby in the trash. and does anybody remember the 13 year old dad? there's also an 11 year old mom. there was also a mother who drew swastikas and white supremacy literature all over her child and sent her to school. there was a step-father who had his daughter sign a sex contract to have sex with him until she got pregnant, from when she was 12 until she was 16. the mother knew about it, and it was her idea!
There isn't an official test to determine if someone is crazy or not. I promise you that almost all parents who would beat their kids if they had any, would answer no to the question: Will you beat your kids? It's easy enough to lie. Not to mention the fact that some people get driven somewhat crazy by having children and start acting different than they did before they had them. Everyone says before they have kids,I'd never do THIS or THAT to my kids, a lot of times it's things that our parents do, and then we have the kids and wind up doing some of them.
I have a bigger problem with people having to earn the ability to have children from a governmental force. It (at least in America, which when it comes to law & rights is the only place I am ever refering to) is an infringement on the rights of the citizen to force them to take a test to become a parent.
