Kids - Saxperience

leeroybrown · 29th July 2008, 11:36

I have just recently became an Uncle on Saturday, already been lumbed babysitting for a few hours here and there.

I was always good with kids, with my cousins etc so I find it easy to look after one

How many of you out there could actually have kids and cope?

bide_furio · 29th July 2008, 11:38

i cant! hate holding new borns scared i will hurt them! wen there bigger dont mind!

Clouds_mate · 29th July 2008, 11:38

Not me. I cant even look after myself.

Sophie123 · 29th July 2008, 11:40

i couldnt.
i didnt hold m niece until she was 4 months old!
My best friend has a kid too, first time i did a nappy change, it fell off when i picked him up! haha.

but no, i loose my temper too quickly, i refuse to 'baby talk' and i get frustrated.

im selfish =]

It isn't that scary to be honest, it's very rewarding.

When Ruby was born, I distanced myself...a lot, partly my fault but it wasn't what I expected.

I absolutely love been around Ruby, the giggles, smiles, stuff she does and now she has just started feeding herself - honestly amazing!

They are VERY time consuming I'll admit that, but I aslong as you are mature about it then you are fine.

I like fuck am I ruining my life and having a kid.

imo of course.

AdamW · 29th July 2008, 11:41

Don't think I could do it until I matured.......

As said its very time consuming and a black hole for money

leeroybrown · 29th July 2008, 11:43

But do you not think having a had a child of your own will change you whole perception of kids etc

I defo would say it does.

Makes you more mature person

MK2SLAG · 29th July 2008, 11:43

yeh could do it no problem

AdamW · 29th July 2008, 11:43

You posting this thread looking for a woman to carry your child?

Payney · 29th July 2008, 11:44

Kids are part of you... You seem to just love them.

leeroybrown · 29th July 2008, 11:44

No no Adam

Just a bit of sensible conversation for once they are few and far between

Exactly, it does.

You become an instant parent, that little one is your responsibility.

You will do all the baby talk with them too, trust me lol. Also, if makes me more comfortable around other children.

bide_furio · 29th July 2008, 11:45

Yes but at the end of the day. I dont have time to have a child. I dont want to give anything up at the moment. I love my life how it is.

I wouldnt want to give something i enjoy up to have a kid. Like my holidays, my car or something like that.

Id rather wait til the time i wouldnt have to giev anything up and still have a kid. Got all my life to have one.

bark · 29th July 2008, 11:45

I would give it a good try like ...

Currently help run a youth project on a Friday night which brings in on average 80 drunk and randy teenagers, can cope with that a piss of cake ...

So surely the challenge of looking after a younger pup should be just as easy!

nah baby talk makes me feel silly.
and i dont think it encourages the kid to learn to communicate properly.
my friends son, you could have a proper conversation with him before he was 2.
it was cool then, but now, (hes 2 and 5 months) he talks sooooo much i wish he would go back to being silent!
