This is kind of a game, I hope you guys are into it.
I will start. You answer, then ask another question.
Would you ever buy your teenager beer?

I can't see myself ever thinking this is a good idea, I may allow them to have a drink while under my supervision at a BBQ or something, but the Legal Drinking age here is 18 anyways so I don't feel like it's inappropriate to do this with a 17 yr old.
Would you ever allow your child sit on your lap, or if older but under 15 sit in the drivers seat and drive your car on an empty back road?

Yes to the driving on a back road, absolutely not to the marriage one!!!
Would you ever let your 12 year old dye her hair?

With a temporary colour for sure! With perm. colour, probably when they were 15 or so! hair is one of those things i think teens should get to experiment with! Same with make up!
Would you ever wake your kids to an R rated movie before they were old enough?

Yes, probably would take them to an R-rated movie, depending on what it was! Not at 12, but at 16 or so, most likely.
Would you ever let your child get a tattoo before they are old enough?

Hmmm, I don't think so. That is something if they want to do it with their own money when they are out of my house, sure. But not before then.
Would you ever coach a team your child was on? If so, which one?

Sure. I would coach whatever. I am not competitive though, so chances are I would stink at it  But I would and will love to be involved.
Would you ever let your teenage child have an opposites-sex sleep over? At your house? At the other house?

I would, but DH is another story. I only say yes because in grade 11 and 12 I was allowed to sleep over at my boyfriends house (well his parents house).
Would you ever remarry if (god forbid) your SO passed away?

Would you ever go on vacation alone?

At this stage in my life, no. I did travel on my own for quite a while though when I backpacked.
Would you ever bungee jump?

I don't think I could. It would feel strange for me to know that there was a child out there who was genetically mine.
Would you ever sing in public?

I totally would! I'd be honoured, actually, that they felt comfortable with it.
Would you let somebody else breastfeed YOUR child, if you had to be away?

I think I might if it were someone I really, really trusted but the very few people I would trust that much aren't be able to nurse anymore.

Actually, as someone who got married at 18 (less than 3 months after high school graduation) I think I could say yes to this one if it were the right situation. I'd feel like a hypocrite otherwise. But I know how rare it is that it actually works out so I'm not at all expecting or hoping for it.
Would you ever send your child to a boarding school?

That's such a hard question. If I felt it was best for her, then yes. There are some private boarding schools near where I grew up and they have amazing reputations. But in the long run, probably not. Not sure if I would want her away from home so young.
Would you ever adopt?

Yes. I desperately wanted to adopt my cousins little girl when she lost custody and they couldn't find the birth father. We started the fostering procedure and had her in our home for about two weeks. But they found the bio father and he has custody now. it worked out good all around, despite him being MIA for so long, he is great with her and still gives me updates. My cousin, on the other hand, is a druggie who we haven't heard from in over a year.
Would you ever be someone's birth coach?

You mean like a doula? Yes, I would ... if Juliana were older because a lot of births happen overnight and that would mean leaving her overnight.
Would you ever go to a nude beach?

I would go to a nude beach, but only if I could wear my grandma swimsuit  I'm comfortable being around nude people but I wouldn't go nude myself unless the beach was totally deserted lol
Would you ever get cosmetic surgery?
