You are very, very funny :)
You always make me smile!
Your children do sound perfect.
We are totally opposite because I just love children.
And sometimes, when I am in the city, I will see a particularly disturbing one. They will be dirty from the day, they will have torn school clothes, they will look hungry and most of all, they will look mad. Mad at everything. I love those children so. I love the ones that have mommy’s who use drugs. The ones who have daddy’s that are in prison or unknown. I love the ones being raised by Grandmas in over crowded houses in over crowded neighborhoods. I love them because I don’t know if anyone else will. And each child-every.single.one- is so valuable. A person is a person no matter how small!

I think this should be a post : )

Love this post! Very honest & makes sense. I love the kids in my life – my own, my family and friends’ kids, but all other’s kids…not so much. I think for me it is less about the kids and more about the parents. Unless the parents are on the same wavelength in parenting, I am probably not going to like the kids hanging out with my precious babies, haha!

Dare I say that I sort of changed after I became a mom here? I really can relate to the discomfort pre-baby about being around children, because though I had babysat as a teen I’d never changed a diaper till I had my own child.

Life didn’t change that much after one child for me. My husband and I could still get a babysitter and go out and I worked full time and brought my baby when I commuted every day to my office and he slept or played in his porta crib contentedly.

But then, just one year later, I had TRIPLETS and closed my business down because I could no long have all these kids AND work outside the house. I found myself a SAHM changing 4 diapers at a time and later potty-training three together. I don’t even remember much from the first 3 years when I had all these babies at home. Except for one thing I did learn: it did force me to change my ways because I became organized very quickly just to keep my sanity ;-)

You know…just try running a daycare. It is so hard to wipe the snotty noses without making that disgusted furrowed browed face.

So raw. So real. And I hate to admit it–so me. I actually used to like other kids. Now, other kids seem to have no draw for me. Maybe I’m just kid-ed out.

Ain’t that the truth! I can’t believe other people let their kids go out dressed like dirty ragamuffins (shameful!), but MY child in her Barbie Princess dress (accessorized with striped red socks and gold glittery sweater) and yogurt smeared face is the epitome of a well-loved child.
