I’m not keen on children , I mean I’d never hurt one , I just don’t particularly like spending time with them
As a woman in her mid 40s I apparently should have had the last alarm ringing from my body clock , telling me to reproduce now before it’s too late but I have turned off that alarm and taken out its batteries !!
People say ‘Oh you’d love kids if they were your own’ which I seriously doubt
If I dislike spending a few hours in the company of small people , why would I want to spend 24/7 with them for the next few years ?
When you babysit , at least you have the comfort that the parents will be back before too long
I do babysit my Nephews and I think they like me , well unless I’m telling them to put their shoes away , get changed out if their uniforms or eat their dinner ....okay maybe they actually don’t like me !!
I never liked the vomit phase which my eldest Nephew went through, strangely enough it happened most times that I held him , but I have managed in life to never change a poopy nappy , only a wet one once
When friends or relatives put pictures of their newborn kids or Grandkids on Facebook , I tick ‘like’ and wish my Congratulations, stopping myself from writing ‘oh my god , that kid is UGLY’ , as all babies are odd looking aren’t they . I can think of only a handful of human babies that I have thought were okay looking but literally hundreds of felines or canines !!
I will only visit a new baby if it’s a relative that I really have to see and then avoid holding the baby wherever possible
On the other hand , if anyone puts a photo up of their new puppy , kitten or adult animal then I am the first to squeal how completely GORGEOUS it is , what’s its name , breed , Birthday and when can I come round for cuddles ?
So I DO have a maternal streak in me , just not for human babies
I have sat up all night with poorly cats or dogs , making sure they are okay , I clean up vomit and poop from them when necessary , I will spend all of my time with them , I love them unconditionally and will do anything for them to give them the best life possible .
So it’s a no from me towards human babies but I’ll have all of the puppy , kitten , cat , dog , ferret , rabbit , guinea pig cuddles that I possibly can !! xx
