I have no idea. Many incredibly nice people make for horrible parents and plenty of otherwise rotten people make for great parents. People who manage to produce one great kid will find that the other one turns out rotten even though they were exposed to the same parenting.
So with all the friendly emotion I can muster I say "If you become parents I'm sure you'll work hard at it."

Kids are people. They will be what they will be. No need to add bad parenting to the mix ... but good parenting is a guaranty of nothing.

Visible mojo for both of you. Well said.
At some point I'd like to discuss the probability of a future filled with stupid people - but not now, I've got a nice beer buzz and Evangelion to watch.
