What would a child of yours have to do to make you chain them in the basement?

nothing they could ever do would make me do that to my [future] kid(s).

Since you are not being specific as in maybe you heard of this and it has disturbed you enough to wonder why such a thing happened or you are a sicko considering doing what you are asking about and if that is the case....dude you are messed up and need help and I feel sorry for your child but I'm guessing you are just curious as to why someone else did this? Well probably because the child was too helpless to pick up a large blunt object to defend him/herself and so some crazy loser chained his/her child in the basement or maybe the attic was too crowded already I don't know. Jeez.

I thought about it this morning, when I got up he had finished off the last of the milk and didn't leave me even enough for one cup of coffee!

Thing is, he's 6'2 {and he's the smaller of the two!} we go through 5 gallons of milk a week!

I just couldn't drag him to the basement, he's way bigger than me, **SIGH** What's a skinny little Mom to do?

They would have to try killing someone, or perhaps conspire with me to pull a prank that somehow involved them being chained in the basement.

Look at me funny.

Look at me at all.

Be nearby when it strikes me as amusing to chain a child in the basement.

My parents seemed to think having me was enough for that

I wouldn't, but I will say that you have quite the awkward fantasy there.

demand that they desire to be chained up in the basement

There is nothing my future kids could do that would make me do that to them. :)
