pissed off, yet I still love them!

This is strange. This topic appeared in my spam, but all others have gone to my inbox. I have no children, and we have decided to have none. I don't dislike children, but as an extraordinarily tidy creature (and softly spoken)I can only take them in small doses!

Yes I do love children I have a little niece that I love. children can be really sweet but there a really big responsibility there just a lot to consider when one has children. I recently baby sat my niece for 3 days because my sister had to do somthing really important. we had a lot of fun she is so cute and sweet, but I must admit I was exhausted after three to 4 hours of playing with her, and having to prepare bottles and changes poopy diapers lol, also shes really energetic too so shes constantly on the go. I have always realized since I became an adult that having kids changes your life pretty drastically and even though I love children I'm still not ready to have kids of my own, and quite honestly I'm not sure if I'll ever feel that I'm in a sacure enough place in my life to handle having a child of my own, because as most mothers already know having a baby isent all just hugs and play its a serous thing.

I am done raising kids. My daughter has had two and due to her mood disorder I took guardianship of the older one and helped her as much as I could with the younger one. I am through now. I had a bad experience with the guardianship and I vowed I would not do kids anymore. I am grandma not mama.

most of the time. ...if they give me a big smile, no cry, no yell, no demand faces...probably i will crazy with them

From the time that I was a young girl, I always knew that I wanted to be a mother and I made that dream of mine come true when I was twenty two years old and my daughter was born. I learned rather quickly that being a mother isn't all fun and games and there are a lot of challenges that we've got to overcome as parents. However, I've also established the fact that being a mother is also the most rewarding thing that I've ever done in my life.

Hello attente!! Baby sitting for just a day is fun and you think that babies are really cute. When you get to have them everyday is much of a big difference you would think that they just get on your nerves and you just feel like throwing them out.LOL I have also tried that because I'm babysitting my nephew. It's fun at first but could be very annoying but taking care of a baby is a challenge. I just extend my patience much so that I won't feel very frustrated about it.

I really like children and I am interested in education. That is why I became a primary school teacher. I trained to teach children from age 3 to 11 years old. I specialized in teaching children from 3 to 8 years old. When I was younger I did a couple of nannying positions. I cared for a little girl in a family in Finland and some children in a family in Australia. I know that babies and toddlers need a lot of patience and the highest quality care. A young baby needs to be treated very gently and have all of his or her needs met my the parent or carer. A toddler likes to explore but it still learning a great deal. Some children might like to play around and get a bit silly from time to time. All children benefit from looking at or reading picture books with some text. They like to play with age appropriate toys. No child likes to feel bored. I am the mother of a fifteen year old boy, a three year old disabled boy and a one year old baby daughter. I love all my children equally. I like the children that I teach, every single one of them.

I do like children very much especially if you can hand them back at the earliest sign of a diaper needing to be changed or a tantrum brewing! It’s always very different when you have to care for the child for an extended period with no break away from him or her! I had to wait almost six years for my daughter to come along because for reasons unknown to me, I had a lot of trouble conceiving. I wanted a baby so badly; I used to cry myself to sleep every time a pregnancy test would come back negative. When my daughter was eventually born I was, as you can imagine, overjoyed. I’ve had my child for eight years and yes, I love her more than life and would never want to be separated from her but I would be a liar if I told you that I never had a moment when she pissed me off and truly got on my nerves! It happens….If your annoyance toward this kid is excessive perhaps it may well be an indication that you are just not ready to be a parent and there is nothing wrong with that!

I love children so much specially infants and newborns. They are so cute and adorable. I have a 9 month old son and will have another son this August 15 so that will make two of them. I love to stare at my son's face whenever he is asleep. I love his facial expressions it makes me laugh. Sometimes, I get tired because he is so mischievous. He would start throwing his toys, cries a lot when he wants something, restless and very hyperactive and other stuffs that would really test your patience to the extreme. However, I can't hate him. Sometimes those things even end up funny for me and make me laugh so hard. Just one smile from him and a wink melts my heart. I also love it when he would hug me and kiss me when I show him through my actions and facial expressions that I don't like what he did. He is such a charming child. When I was still Single I never thought I'd ever like having children and being Mom. I used to not like children. I used to think they are whiners, naughty and selfish creature who would eat up all your time that you will no longer have anything left fo your self. That's why I don't want to get married before and have a child. However, when I got married and had a child of my own that's when I realized how adorable creatures, sweet, loving and charming the babies are. That's also the reason why just after about three months of giving birth to my first born I got pregnant again. Lolz.

Hello welcome to mylot Baby sitting is really a very tough job, but please be with the baby, it will be helpful when you have your own baby.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

I don't like children at all. i think I'm gonna explode at the first sign of hard-headedness! haha. I really don't like taking care of them because they're so stubborn. Some children are also improperly bred. I mean, they squeeze through people, pushing them aside just to get in front of the line, no excuse-me's and they're cutting in the line! Some kids would bonk you in the head and laugh at you, some would run away from you. I really hate taking care of kids. I like playing with them, but taking care of them, no way.

i like children a lot too... they are quite innocent and inquisitive and yeah...annoying sometimes. but i guess i too was like that when i was a kid. i'm not a father yet, and i'm not sure when will i have the chance to be one. but i do hope that i'll be a good daddy when my time comes

Yes, me too. I love babies also especially when they are so cute, i just love to talk with them hug and kiss them. but babies grow old and they don't see cute anymore.

If its your own child you would love them even if they do a lot of crazy stuff. But if you are to baby sit, I guess its another story. It's fun to be with children but it takes a lot of patience and understanding.. Hope you'll enjoy while taking care of your niece/nephew...

haha =D MOSt of us likes children for sure, because we only enjoy playing with them, for that short period of time.. BUt once play time is over, and comes to feeing time etc, especially napping time, that's when we start to hate it!! lol =D Because there's nothing we can do to the babies/children!! We can be scolding them, but will only make things worst by crying louder!! haha =D When they cry, we will get even more stressed out, before starting to dislike them.. haha =D

Hiya atten, No one is ever really ready to be a Mother it just happens when it happens. The first time around you are either thrilled to bits or down in the dumps about it. The third time I burst into tears (grin) The Doctor said congratulations but I did not have a proper House to stay in or any money practically nothing so I was not over the moon about that one. I should have been it got me in the wrong moment. Later I changed my mind when I felt better about it all. I love kids too but sometimes they can be very trying at the least more so when they are your own but you will still love them all the same just wait and see.

That is normal. I didn't like children and babies much until I had my nice and nephew from my cousin. They are cute and smart but as they grow older, they get to be irritating.

hi attente! i think we are in the same boat.that's exactly what i feel just now.having my niece and my nephews around me really makes me feel like i want to kick all them out! i love babies but years later they will turned to someone else-a very very naughty and stubborn kids!yes, i agree with that me too not ready to be a mother at all.

cac2010 attente you will never get pissed off to your own children. You'll never get tired of caring for them. Even when you're sick, when your child needs you, you'll get up from your bed and attend to your child. There's no extended patience, obligation is right word. Despite of all these hardships, you're enjoying yourself as a parent, thankful to the LORD he has given you this Blessings!!!!!And life was never a bore when you have childred of your own.

Yes, you shouldn't have a baby until you're mentally, emotionally, financially ready for it. many people think babies and children are so cute,and want one, or think they can handle with it but it is not so easy to care as you felt when you played with your cousin's child. parents have to take care of their child daily, not just one particular day or time. very stressful and frustrated actually. I have one child, she's okey, but at this time (just turned 6 yr old last month),she's got strange obsession to win over someone (probably learned and felt it was good from her video game experience), so she tries to compete almost anything such as when we are eating, she tries to finish her meal faster, and if we go to the store, she tries to walk in the store before I do.. and so on, also gets into fashion, and changes clothes every hour(at this time, she's summerbreak and stays at home daily, so she can do that), plus bad influence from her half brother (18 yr old who was in juvenille prison last year for shooting friend, dropped out of highshool, not trying to find a job, or not trying to continue education .. still thinks he has summerbreak and brings friends every week when my husband (his father)is not at home..very sneaky and bad, I do not want my child(she's a girl) to get influenced by this stupid teen brother(he's not mine). but I can't do much for it..) when a child is a baby, you can control he/him 100%, but it'll be less every year.. and you'll lose confident or want to give up child care etc.. ohhh it's really difficult job., so enjoy your life until you really meet someone really special and decide to get married and have a child.
