taking care of a baby isn't easy. Oh God!

Yes its not a easy job, my mother told me when I was a baby always cry, very difficult to calm down, if I cry can last half a day long, naughty, bad very much, but as a mother she must be patient, its a good chance to test your heart, if you are defeated you are a loser in life too.

Taking care of a baby is never easy. I am a mother of a 19 month old boy, and I really enjoy taking care of him, because he's my son, and I really love him very much. Though there were many nights he couldn't sleep well, and I needed to carry him to sleep for almost the whole night, and the next day I still needed to go to work. Though it's tiring, I'm really happy that I can take care of him. I actually do not mind bathing him, feeding him, cleaning his poo, changing diapers, etc, what worries me is that when he's not feeling well. Also, I do not know why but I never find his crying irritating. I still think his crying is cute. Sometimes when he's crying or throwing temper, I look at him and smile/laugh, because he's so cute! Perhaps this is just what a mother would think. When it's your own baby, you might not think the same as you do now.

I do agree with this, i mean its fair to say that baby well is very delivate and is very hard to take care... you said it all.. and of course if they feel something they sure are not able to tell you if they are having pains, etc you just have to figure it out somehow... :D

Imagine how I feel.... I have a daughter who is almost 3 months old, and I am taking care of her all on my own ! Plus.... to make things even harder.... I am a student, mind you i'm doing homeschooling, but its still hard to study and take care of an infant all by yourself. I don't find my daughter's "loud cry" irritating, but I find it more depressing to a degree, because she's so young and its hard to tell just by her cries what it is that she needs, so I feel awful sometimes when she's crying and i can't figure out what is wrong to try to calm her down

I won't disagree with you at all because taking care of a young baby is one of the hardest things that I've ever done in my life. However, on the other hand of it, I have two wonderful children that are now seven and almost four years old and there has never been anything that I've done in my life that has been more rewarding than taking care of the two of them when they were small. So, though taking care of a small baby isn't easy, it is also the most rewarding thing that you will do with your life if you are their parent or primary care giver.

i have a daughter who is 5 months old and i must say that i can totally relate, and you are lucky that she is just your niece. my daughter especially during the first three months cries so loud that she is already screaming and it makes the people around her panic. she cries when shes given a bath, she cries when shes bored , she just cries alot but of course i really love my baby girl even if shes a hard baby to care for

It's really hard to take care of a baby. If you are a mother, you'll experience the long sleepless nights. But, taking care of a baby and seeing him/her getting bigger and tried to talk, you will no longer think about the difficult days but instead you will think about the baby's future. What he will be after college or who will be his first girlfriend.hehe. I'm a mother that's why.

Hi, Taking care of child is not an easy task. From my experience, when I first step into motherhood, I really not get used to it especially the sleepless night. For the first few months, I have to wake up few times in the middle of the night for midnight feeding and also changing diapers. As my son grows up,they are more works to do for him. I have to prepare his foods,start on potty training,and educate him. I have less time for myself and most of my time is for my son. No matter what, I do enjoy my motherhood and my son is always my precious one. I can fully understand your situation.Take it as a learning process on taking care small child and slowly you may enjoy and get used to it.

Sometimes the thoughts of having a baby are quite glamorized. We build up theis fantasy of how perfect and beautiful our lives will be when we have a baby. Sooner or later the reality hits. Having a baby can be a a blessing and a joy to us. It is also a huge responsibility. Here is a child that we have to take care of unconditionally. it is not always easy. For those who have never had a child before, the burden can be extreme. There are things that must be learned to help the child grow up healthy and secure. This little bundle of joy cries and laughs without reason. this infant can not talk back to us to let us know what it wants. All we can do is love and nurture this child and hope the choices we make are the right ones. Whoever said that caring for a baby was easy nevere had one themselves.

She can smell your fear. Personally, I find taking care of babies easier than toddlers. All I have to do is feed, bathe, change diapers and make go-go eyes. I am able to do more especially since they sleep a lot and so I take that time to do other housework or online work while the baby sleeps. My 4-year nephew on the other hand likes to play a lot. My only break is when he is at play school and when he naps. But not before we wrestle to put him down. I am always scared that he might hurt himself jumping and playing around the house. I will be glad when its time for him to go to school for the entire day.

I'm so glad that my children are now in their early teens. Goodbye for this hard job, taking care of babies!

Yes. And all the parents out there would definitely agree with you. In the beginning it was difficult for me to take care of myself, my husband and my just born daughter in a different city with no one to help. But I got used to it and now my daughter is three and she is pretty much ok. Not that anything has changed, but I guess, you kind of get used to it:-D Now I enjoy doing things for her and with her.

I have my one year old son and am a plain housewife...patient is virtue...he was so naughty and careless...sometimes i want to shout him but i always bear in mind that he was just a little boy...haiiii!! how i wish he was big enough.

You are right my dear, taking care of baby is the most difficult task on earth because it does not only need your physical work but also mentally disturbance too. People don't understand how hectic this work is; only mothers or who have to do this task can get it. When you are sleeping and you have to wake up with a baby cry, it's really disturbing. When you need silence and baby starts crying, you don't even know how to make her quiet. It's really a difficult task. But besides all its difficulties and problem, there is a good side too. When you are tired and the baby make you smile because of her smiles or anything else, that's the blessing. Babies make us cry and smile both at a time so it's fun too.

I can totally understand it because I am a mom. I still remember how difficulty it was when my child was little. And I thinking taking care of the baby is the most difficult job in the world because as a parent, you don't have a break. I love China

it is indeed a tough job. that is why it makes me cry when faced with disrespect from the children. to be a mother to a child is not easy.

i took care of my nephews and nieces when i was single and i dont have the patient especially when im tired and lack of sleep. But then when i have my own child i didn't feel tired at all and even he's sleeping i watch him and makes sure no mosquitoes or ants biting him. If you know the song of fredie aguilar "ANAK", the content of the song are all true. yes its hard being a nanny to other children but when you have your own son or daughter you may understand what im saying..

me too! my sister's son is 6 months old too. I don't have to give him a bath but I do have to feed him, change his clothes after he ... on them. He doesn't like to stay still so I have to carry him around and around. I just wonder what will happen to me in the future!

I have a 21 month son. I feel it is easier to take care of him when he was a baby. He's not naughty like when he is getting to explore the world. When he was able to crawl, I feel it is harder. You have to chase him and he never want to sit tight. Now that he can run and understand many things, he just want things his own way and seems don't want to listen to us. Personally I think it is easier to take care of baby than a 1 year old plus kids. And one things, it is easier to take care your own kids compares to other people kids. Having a children is the best feeling you can ever had.

My son is 13 months old and I totally understand what you suffered. it's kind of troublesome and makes me headached to take care of him, specially when he is crying loud. Doomsday. however, it's also my greatest happiness to stay with him, isnt it? You will get what I mean when you have your own baby.
