As a female INTJ being an eventual parent terrifies me. I'm only 20 and am not planning on settling down anytime soon, but I think about the future a lot and wonder about people's experiences with INTJ parents. I'm not even sure if I want kids, I'll probably only want one and only for the purpose of seeing if I can create an awesome child or just leaving my DNA behind on Earth.
My grandpa is an INTJ and from what I've heard about my mom's upbringing, he was notorious for being absolutely terrifying. No warmth or affection, impossible to get to know, had a wrath that no one dared incur. It's actually quite amusing imagining him and my ENFP dad interacting when him and my mom were dating - my dad was a telecommunications major and wrote a script for a class about my grandpa trying to kill him and him being completely naive about it.
Anyway, being pregnant with a human growing inside of me completely disgusts me in the first place, but imagining having a small child that can't be reasoned with or a teenager that is a moody punk just makes me scared for my parenting capabilities. Wondering if anyone can share their experiences with INTJ parents.
