Question.....?

[Jemisa]

Following on from a Marval Post......

Someone asked me once "If you your husband and your child were in a river and they were drowning which would you save, your husband because you chose him?..... or your child because after all you & your husband are not related, where as your child is.... A TOUGHIE EH?

Well Hubby already has, daughters can swim, I cannot - seemed a logical reply.

What a depressing thread for 'bedtime'.

I would try to save both. Husband on his back, child on his belly. ten swim them both to shore. In my youth I was a strong swimmer.

Always save children first, then go back for adults. Adults have more chance anyway.

If I had a child, it would be the child. As a parent it's your job to protect your children no matter what, so to save your partner instead would to me be wrong.

Save the child, and, given a choice of them all, the youngest first. She has the longest life ahead of her and has had the least.

That's a no brainer for me, it would be child every time. Have actually discussed this with husband before and we both said we'd sacrifice each other to save one/both of the kids.

[marval]

I can't swim, but if I could it would have to be my child first.

[mrs.chappie]

Luckily I have a big fat belly which would act as a rubber dinghy and I'd be able to save both - no problem. :o)

No-one is going to say on this forum that they'd pick the husband are they. It's a horrible question bit like as kids when we used to ask which of our parents would die if we had to pick one.

[netibiza]

would have to be my 5'9" child who can swim better I , and as for dear old Mr N, he'd survive somehow.

[netibiza]

In all actuality I would probably drown and they would both survive.

[anneasquith]

the child.

Well, I can't swim out of my depth. Once in a pool with my ten year old I couldn't feel the pool bottom...panicked and grabbed my son round the neck. We both went under.....and although he was a good swimmer he still refers to the day Mum tried to drown him....;-) x
