Those of you with kids.....
 

For those of you with kids would you like for your kids to grow up (assuming they are under 18) and one day take over your porn company?

I have two teenage boys. They have a vague idea of what I do. They keep asking me if when I die, if they get to inherit Gisele ....

Not sure how to take that.

I would love for them to be able to work within my company and possibly take over in some aspects, however, I am not going to force it on them. If it's something they want to do, great. If not, I'm ok with that too. Regardless, I told them that I have written my will so as they cannot inherit anything from my company unless they attend or are attending college ;)

Are you and any of the girls going to Vegas?

Gisele and I may be going ... I'll know more after Xmas.

If you are let's get together and talk :winkwink:

My kid is 5 so she really has no clue what I do other than work on a computer
but id hope she will grow and find out her own path in life and do what she wants to do

My plan is to move the vast majority of my interests outside of adult before they are old enough to be a part of and/or take over my company.

My boys are only 2 and 5 at the moment so I have a while to figure all of that out.

I run an adult personals site and that would be great. I have no problem with that.

I have 2. One old enough and one getting there. I wouldn't mind either way. I used to be 15 and developed into this. If they feel it's worthwhile, why not. If not, no big deal.

To not let ones kids take over the family business would be admission of being shameful of what you do.

When a porn tube is able to break the top 50 of websites in the world, then porn has become mainstream enough that anyone working in it should not be embarrassed.

This is a job like any other.

I don't want my kids to grow up surrounded by scammers and thieves and deadbeats.
(if and when)

no, my daughter does not know what i do and she already knows what she wants to do and i want to see her doing that

oh you mean like ... you don't want her leaving her room, at all?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

my daughter has no interest in the business at all, she's 24 now and has known what i do since she was a kid...

Shap gonna send you an email, have a model that wants to shoot for twistys. -b

I'm giving my son a choice of either blacksmith, prison guard or flower decorator, just in case he y'know, swings that way.

My son is 18 and my daughter is 8. The boy is almost done with his study interaction design and knows what I do.

It's amazing to see what kind of knowledge the youngsters have in terms of web, usability and also marketing wise.

It's totally his choice but he likes more the mainstream things I do instead of the 18+ things.

better take her out of school then.

I would rather they shoveled dog shit

I would hope not.

My daughter is just 6 months old. I am not ashamed of what I do, but I'd prefer that she doesn't grow up to take over my business. I don't plan on being in this business forever and I am hoping for an early retirement, but we shall see how things go.

If she ever does get into the industry, I hope to hell she does what I do, and is not in FRONT of the camera.

As soon as he is ten ..he's out getting a paper route to pay rent

Really funny idea how I one day I give my blogs to my son and saying "all these blogs with hardcore porn are now yours son", but that is probably not gonna happen. World will be completely different place as well as internet and porn and if there still be sites and this stuff like now, I would probably give him only my mainstream projects, which I'm really much more proud than my porn projects. I also think that I will have to do mainstream when kids will be running around and maybe even playing with my computer..

Who knows what the world will be by the time they are of an age to work, would like to opportunity to have enough money to help them start something they are passionate about.

Defo not involved in daily operations. But a background role periodically overseeing things would be more inline with my vision for him.

Even though I don't have kids, if I do have kids, I'd like to see them pursue their own business rather than inheriting mine. There's a lot more joy and satisfaction in starting from nothing and going big than being given something big and hoping they don't mess it up. The failures you experience in running a business is what will eventually make your business successful, without experiencing those failures, you'll be missing out on a lot of running a business.

Things taht makes me go hummmmmmmmmmmmmm
I like it so why my kids wouldn't like it?

Very tough question ...

My daughter is just turned 17, and has expressed an interest n doing "Suicide Girl" type pictures ... (she has been modeling since she was 12)

She knows that I have experience in the biz, and has asked me how she should go about it, presumably after she turns 18 ...

We have a very good relationship, however I am not sure if I am glad she has reached out to me for guidance/assistance ...

A lot can happen in a year, I am sort of hoping this phase passes ...

I'd like for my son to take over my company but if he wants to be a Doctor or an Oil Tycoon I won't interject :)

I have no interest in having any of them taking anything over, not even my mainstream stuff. They all went or go to univeristy/college:thumbsup

My son is 9 and he knows I do web design but it?s all under my mainstream company GreenArrowDesigns. Thankfully I have lots of years before he?s 18 but I would hope he goes his own direction in life. Right now he swears he?s going to be the next Lebron James. He practices everyday and is getting pretty good for a 9 year old. It?s a great way for me to get him to eat his vegetables too. I tell him Lebron James ate his and that?s how he got to be so strong haha.

I agree with this 100%:thumbsup

I have two sons. Both of whom are healthy 'red blooded American lads' with a keen interest in the opposite sex and absolutely no interest what-so-ever in what their father does for a living. My oldest boy is in college studying to become a meteorologist and my 6'2" 15 year old wants to become an.... I am not kidding here... an accountant.

But if either one of them were interested in learning this trade I would be happy to teach them (except the younger one would have to wait until he could view the subject matter legally)
