Takin it slow.
I'd raise them to be functional and productive. Their hobbies are up to them, but I won't hide my own.

I don't have children, but I plan on it one day, and as far as I am concerned, yes of course the child will have questions, cause I am not going to hide it. There is nothing wrong with the majority of the fandom, and as long as they know what it is, they will not be alarmed by it. By the time they get old enough to start feeling embarrassed or self-conscious about it, they will also have learned that there are something things that other people are not going to like about you. But if you change that about yourself, then you are not you anymore. You are a conglomeration of what everybody else thinks is perfect or 'cool' and this is a road to disaster. If my child deliberately listens to what other people think, then it is my job to talk to them about it. That is how I was raised, to not worry about what other people thought. Cause I personally was a nerd, and I know that I was treated that way because they hated my intellect and it made them feel inferior. And look at me now, I am a great man, and doing great. My offspring need not worry about these things. When the time comes to cross that bridge, they will ready, with me by there side.

May all your bacon burn.
I will raise them like a parent should raise their child. They will respect their elders, have manners, be thankful for what they have, and know that if they act up they will not just get away with it. The fandom shouldn't have anything to do with how children are raised.

I'm planning to have a litter of my own lol, but I'll raise them to be proper human beings, with respect and manners and what not. And I will not hide the fact that I'm furry from them, if they become interested in the fandom as well all power to them, if not so be it we'll find another hobby we can share :3

When I have children, I'd want to raise them in a better environment than I grew up in. This means I'll probably have them once I've complete a postgraduate degree of some sort, and once I'm in an economically stable situation. As far as how I'd raise them, I'd do so in a way that prepares them for the hardships they may encounter. I can't surely say much more than that.

My Mom raised me on bands such as Pearl Jam, Genesis, Rush, Rolling Stones, Lead Zeppelin etc. So at least I was raised on good music. My parents didn't actually do any raising, to be honest. They just let me fumble my way through life, and they'd give me guidence every now and then. Most of my influences come from the people around me. The environment, the people, the lifestyles... It was almost as if the world was raising me.
Now look at me. I'm a 18-year-old Homosexual Metalhead Furry with an open-mind, a big heart and plenty to learn. If I ever was going to have kids, I would let them raise themselves.

Woah, woah, slow down there big guy. I'm not saying that, I was simply curious as to how others would deal. Personally, I would probably just forget about the fandom.

It hopefully wouldn't affect it at all. I'm just curious as to how it would work for other people, as in, would they leave the fandom, hide the fact, or act like it's "normal", even though to other people not in the fandom, it isn't.

If I ever have kids someday (since I'm 17 I'm thinking realllly in the future) I would raise them to be open, have manners, and that weird isn't necessarily bad. The fandom wouldn't even come into play minus the whole drawing animal people. I would still participate in forums, websites, etc. But I would forgo my convention going.
Otherwise I would just raise them and not shove anything down their throats and let them find their way on what they want while still giving them help whenever they needed it.

I'm not planning on kids, I'm more of the "eccentric aunt" type.
But if I do have kids, I'm going to raise them be be polite and respectful, but also to stand up for themselves if they need to. The only kind of different thing I would do to raise them is not shove their gender in their faces by insisting they only wear "girl clothes" or that they only play with "boy toys". They won't be gender neutral, but I never want them to feel any less than who they are.

This! I can't stand it when my mom shoves all this "girls carry purses and wallets made for women. Girls can't do this. No you can't wear that because it's from the guy's section"
I would let my kids dress in whatever they like and play with whatever they like. If my little girl wanted to play with gundam and army men then go ahead. If my little boy wanted to play with a kitchen set or a doll then go ahead. It really shouldn't matter.

I'm nowhere near ready and the thought of it scares me.
I guess I'd raise them as my parents raised me. Stern, but always letting them know that I love them. I'd be more open-minded about their decisions, though.
