How long would your child last in a zombie apocalypse?

[PaperDoIIs]

Just for fun, how long do you think your child/children would last in a zombie apocalypse? You can pick the zombie type.

Me and DD were messing around yesterday and talking about it and she came up with a "plan". So far fetched(even more far fetched than the possibility of a zombie apocalypse) that it resembled a Fast and Furious movie, complete with a bucket and tin foil to go into space.

It spans years, at least two other planets and various adventures and eventually it ends with her being a goddess.

In reality, I give her a day. She's the type that would check out on her own what the weird noise is at the beginning of a horror movie.

What about your kids?

Well she's got a good bunch of uni friends who are very outdoorsy plus she lives in a country that is massively underpopulated, so I hope she would be OK. Though, if there was a zombie apocalypse or similar, I'm not sure if anyone decent/female would want to survive, because we'd be back in the dark ages overnight (and it wasn't known as the dark ages because it was dark).

Mine would be sat at her computer with her headphones on, so tucked out the way safely and completely oblivious.

One of them has put a lot of thought into this. He's away with his own thoughts a lot of the time, he loves zombie movies and planning to the nth degree is one of his favourite pastimes. I'd stick with him, he'd be working to a plan.

Mine is a total gamer and horror movie fan, so provided they could find some sort of weapon, I think they would be ok and non plussed about killing some zombies. They'd probably quite enjoy it.

They know to go to the Winchester and wait it out. They've been educated on all the documentaries such as Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland so should know what to do.
However in reality dd would probably feel sorry for one, let it in and get bit.
Dh would have his headphones in, not notice the apocalypse and die.

Ds no dh.

Just make sure the plan is not flying to space in a helicopter with a bucket ,tin foil and plastic on their head to make it space safe.

'Why is the WiFi off that is more important than zombies, mind you where are the zombies from, I'm hungry'

DS would program some kind of zombie-diverting app.

DD would befriend all the zombies and teach them jewellery-making and they’d all be rocking out to grunge hits of the 90s in her room.

One of mine has transformed into a wild camping, wild swimming, mountain climbing outdoors woman. Her BF’s family owns an off grid cabin in the wilds. She was in the cadets at school so she can shoot. I’d put money on her doing quite well in the zombie apocalypse. Back in the days when she spent most of her time on her nails and eyebrows - about 5 minutes survival time.

My eldest would be locked into the PC gaming and not notice, dd would defo go into the dark to find out what the fuss waa

(missing point of thread entirely) when I was pregnant with DS (5) I had a genuine mini meltdown about how I would be too big to run fast or climb in a zombie apocalypse and so me and DS would be eaten... To his credit DH only laughed at me a bit whilst consoling me...

DD is an avid horror movie fan so would probably be ok for a bit as she knows all the tricks. She'd get bored quick though.

DS would be another one with headphones in who'd be late to the party. Rugby player who could bowl a few down running away I guess but would soon be too hungry to do anything but strop.

There was an attempt at being all hard and she said she'd eat a zombie raw... that's the kid that at 12 is still afraid of tomatoes.

Then she explained she'd do it out of curiosity to see what it's like. (And the tomato thing is irrelevant because she already knows what they taste like)I might've been generous with my one day prediction.

DD2 is feral. She would end up running her own band of wilding survivors. DD1 would give up after day 1 and allow herself to be eaten.

Ds1 would be terrified and not last a day.

Ds2 would become Negan.

One would be last one standing
One would last 5 minutes

My DD would tell them they looked rough and offer them some false eyelashes and fake tan!

I like the sound of DD2.

Probably as long as the food in the house lasted. If I had to venture out I would be screwed.

DD7 wouldn't last. Probably start crying wondering why they wanna eat her and not play with her.
DS5 would probably recruit the zombies and start his own army.

Dd would probably end up running the zombies. Sigh

My first thought was not long. DD has DCD so would fall over while trying to run away and would get eaten instantly.

Or, she is another one who would have her earbuds in and not know what was going on around her.

On the other hand, she is a great fan of Scream and similar films, so knows all the traps , so stay together, always turn on the lights, never ever say "I'll be right back". .

DD would complain so much the zombies would try to die

I think they'd probably commit suicide the second they realised the internet wasn't going to come back.
