    Wow :noway: what a great thread! Why would you be sitting there wondering that, then post it on a forum? Very very odd!


    Because I read the same on another forum and I found some of the answers funny....is that ok with you?

    Ah yes, the 'ol SO and kids in a deadly accident joke! So very funny. :angry: :angry: :angry:



    Yes it was funny.

    Aww are you not a happy bunny today

    Comedy is not your strong suit is it?

    Clearly you should know, as you know me so well.

    Some things are self evident.

    Like your happy smiley avatar pic? I see what you mean.

    I honestly can say I have no idea...and no one really does based on the fact that most people do not think when they are put in a position such as this they just act.

    All the ones on here getting mad and saying it isn't funny are all the usual trolls, they are probably pissed off they didn't think to post it, and if one of their friends posted it they would think it was hilarious. OP don't worry about them , they are a bunch of "you know whats"

    bull.

    Save SO first.

    Why? Well considering how I feel about children, I hate them to the point I was sterilized, I'm sure I would bear any child of mine a lot of resentment, so I feel I'd save my partner first.

    None the less, grim question. :o

    I'd save the kids first and hope that my husband would make the same decision if he was in the same situation.

    Your right. I should smile more. Or post topics about quite possibly the worst case scenario in anyone's life. That'll make me the life of the party.

    Quite frankly anyone who admits to choosing one over the other is an a-hole.

    If you can firmly say that you would rather save your children than your SO then you are saying you don't love your SO as much as your children. In which case you should split up.

    On the other hand, if you can firmly say that you would rather save your SO than your children then you are saying you don't love your children as much as your SO. In which case you should rather have just stayed childless.

    The only reasonable answer to this question is "I don't know". If you think I'm talking bs then tell your SO to his/her face that you would save your children first. I bet most of you don't have the guts to do that. And if you don't have the guts to tell your SO that then you probably don't trust him/her the way he or she may trust you.


    If my SO would NOT save the kids first, then we would split up. You always save the kids. Always.

    ^^ some answers are more correct than others. Most have answered what they would expect, like, or want to do in the situation. This is the real answer.

    I saw this same thing on another forum and found some of the answers funny...they were meant to be funny btw.

    What I did find odd was alot of men said they'd save their SO first?!

    After 40 years of marriage, I think I know my husband well enough to say that he would save the children---as I would expect him to do. I also know that he would gladly sacrifice his own life, in a second, to save mine or our kids.

    In a completely humorous way...how much life insurance do I get if my SO dies?

    Frankly, I hope to never have to worry about this. But to be prepared, i have to say it all hinges on the circumstances at the time. I don't currently have kids, but I can't imagine not trying to save them first (if they're young and can't try to save themselves). then again, let's look at all teh instances where children have saved adults. To play devil's advocate, my kids would probably wind up saving me...

    First off I do love my son more then my husband. Forgive me for admitting this that's called being a mother. How could I possibly love my husband more then I love my own child. Or even the same. I love my husband dearly and he is the love of my life. But my son consumes my heart. There is a not a thing he can do in this world where I wouldn't love him, my husband on the other hand there is a few. So you're comparison is silly...most mothers would be with me on this one.

    Aside from that, what about our survival instincts. MOST people are going to save their children. Not just because they love them "more" and they're paternal instincts come into play. But because my husband can fend for himself while I am saving our son first. Our son on the other hand doesn't stand a chance. If my husband were to pass away I would be devastated but I would not feel guilty, because I did what he would have wanted me to do. And if it were reverse I'd want him to do the same. These are our children, it's our job to protect them whenever we can. So yes it's a choice always a choice never an I don't know my husband has lived, my son has just started living. So you sir, are incorrect.

    The wife is a life guard and swim teacher.

    The kids have all been long-time swim team kids.

    I swim, but not often (no one wants to see my giant belly).

    They'd better all be trying to save me. :)

    Don't have an SO or kids.

    That said, screw hypothetical-SO. Kids first.
