People with kids here - what is it like to be a stuttering parent? And most particularly: 1. Have you been afraid (*your whole life*) to have kids because you thought it would've been a nightmare difficult job for you? 2. Are you afraid that one of your kids might inherit your speech defect? Or even just start copying you (*out of curiosity*)? 3. Is it difficult to read books to them or teach them stuff? 4. Do they respect and love you, or are they kind of embarrassed with you *(in front of their friends*)? 5. \[Fun\] Do you mostly communicate to them via texts and chats? 😉 (*God bless the creators of mobile devices, emails, and chat applications!*) Thank you in advance!
