How would you raise them? It's a complicated question, I know and all the hypothesizing in the world can't prepare you for it but I think it let's you know someting about the person answering the question. It's fun, I guess. *shrug*
I don't think I could be a parent but if I did... I think I'd be a stay at home mom until they were ten, if possibly. Maybe five. I'm strongly againt putting children in daycare while you work because, in my opinion, while convenient for working parents it leaves the raising to someone else. To me it's tantamount to owning a dog a keeping it in a kennel for most of the day until it's convenient for you to care for it. If you can't raise something with your own two hands and one brain then maybe a body should reconsider having kids, or pets, for that matter.
I don't know about discipline... I'd be a talker, a reasoner, a negotiator, and I don't think that's effective for strong willed kids or a child that's damned and determined to have it's way. I'm not strong-willed and a strong willed child would have great potential to walk all over me when it gets older. I'd be a very quiet mom but a loud friend figure which is also not conducive to raising a child well, I think.
I'm not family material. I'm irratioinal, possibly crazy, and while thre are perfectly functioning families of mentally ill people, I think I'm ... uncapable of controlling my emotions, functioning under stress, and maintaining a lot of responsibility. It would kill me if I lost my temper and took it out on a kid, even if I just yelled. I think I'd be hypersensitive and spastic because of my own upbringing and that's just not fair.
Now I'm a fantastic pet owner! So I plan to have a family of cats, dogs, and koi!
So, in summary, if I had kids,I wouldn't raise them well. I ABSTAIN! >:{
