Playing with children is great, but it's hard to feed them.

The great thing about being an aunt is you get to play with your nieces and nephews and when your done you can give them back. I love mine dearly, but I don't have the patience for it fulltime. Best Wishes!

hahahah......it's true.i agree some.sometimes play with them for some hours is a hard job also.i am a teacher.i saw so many kids in different ways already.when i look at them,i will be full of love and hate in the same time for their behaved and unbehaved action.so i wonder whether i can be a good mum for my kids in the future.but of course,the most important thing is earning money for their birth:)god,i guess it's expensive to give a birth of baby ? so i hope i can earn some money from mylot for that... Lol....

Other than sometimes being exausted by the time she leaves, I love spending time and playing with my neice. But table manners weren't taught by the time she starting eating real food so now feeding her like a normal person is practically impossible. She'll take a bite of food and then run away and come back five minutes later for another bite. It takes an hour to get her to eat a half a meal. Her mother never used a high chair or anything so its impossible to get her to use one now or even sit at the table. She'll squirm and struggle the whole time!!

Tell me about it... it is not easy to feed myson, I have to sing, make funnny faces to make him eat, when he is a happy camper, he eats; if he is not, he scream and refuses it. Even though he gets bored with eating very quickly and will stop so I'm still figuring out how to get him to eat better.

You are right feeding them is very hard, specially when they don't like the food, you need to let them be hungry first so that they will eat, and don't let them eat candies or sweet foods when meal time is near for the more they don't like to eat then.

Yes its hard to feed them! But thats what parents do best... when you give birth to that child nothing is too hard to do for them. You just have that parental instinct to protect and to nurture, that is why you never give up. I play games whith my child while i feed her, for instance she would be driving up and down on her little motorbike, and she must get "fuel" from me (food) every time she passes and so on...

Having children is defiantly an adventure, everyday is something different. It can be tiring having children, espically for those who are the sole caregivers for their children. Entertaining children can sometimes be the easy part, the feeding is were it gets rough, at least for me it is. My oldest daughter is a very picky eater, luckily the youngest doesn't yet get a choice of what she eats since she is only 2 months old. But sometimes my daughter isn't the problem, I then have to deal with my picky eater husband also. So the days can be long and tiring, but they are defiantly rewarding.

I am a mother of 4 and my third child is really hard to feed. Though, I don't worry that much about their litters but it is the feeding that really gets me. Yes, sometimes, I wanted to say I quit. But, I just couldn't because I love her and her siblings, too. This is maybe the reason why some wouldn't want to have kids. They love kids but they can't have the patience they need to really take care of those little tykes 24/7. But as parents, you need to be patient.

Feeding kids is really a hard job, I would agree with that. I too have a nephew who lives just next to our house so I really know how it feels like to be feeding him. We would really get mad at him and worry as well for he really looks thinner now because he prefers to play than eat. Even if he is taking vitamins, he still doesn't like to eat. I too enjoy so much playing with him for he is such a cute boy and he's my only nephew.

Feeding and raising them are the hard parts in my opinion. Playing with them is the easy part. Children can be entertained on virtually any level. But feeding them is a highest task. Trying to figure out why they like and do not like certain foods can be mind boggling. It does in the end have it's wonderful rewards. I have two of my own and love every minute. It is good that you help out so mother can take a break every now and again.

Children could really be fun! Playing would them though would entail lots of stamina, specially if they like running. But they are simple ones. But feeding them? OMG it's really difficult. Good if the child is not picky with foods. But if he/she is a picky one, it would shorten my patience.

Too bad I don't have that choice, I suppose I gave birth to them, so I probably should feed them lol. It is super tiring: playing, feeding, changing nappies. I'm always tired. At least you get to hand them back at the end of the day.

It's hard to feed them when they aren't hungry yet. Try to know when they are really hungry and it wouldn't be that hard. Feeding time must be fun too for them. Besides, your patience will really be tested if you are dealing with children. Try to have new techniques, maybe.

You sure have to wrap that bunddle of flexible tiny tender muscles kinda tight when you feed them. Specially when it is the hyper energetic baby, unless you opt to wear protective clothing which you will take off after feeding. Toddlers eat only when they are hungry, mess up when they full. Until they get to grips, let them be, it's excactly where we all began this journey. Agreed?
