children,kids

Before I had kids I used to get somewhat annoyed. But now I am more tolerant. And it does all depend on the child and the parents. Some parents just cannot control their children. So, this really varies.

I have had five children, but I am no fan of other children. The non-parenting thing drives me crazy. But, most of them are dirty and annoying, LOL.

I love kids. I am nuts about them. Yesterday I was having my bath...and my little hero took the whole building by storm kind. He kept on shouting my name as he calls me (atta) and finally I was out with all soap still getting into my eyes, but decent. When he is playing and if I go to restroom, he gets terrified. He starts pounding at the door. lol. His little sister jumps out of her mother's arms towards me. And cries if mother does not let me play with her. They sure send me on ego trips each day. Would I have been different had I had children, perhaps. I can't say. I try to be positive about it. I don't have to do much for the little ones and I get to play with so many little ones now and then! If I had only one or two..that would be pretty limiting factor, right?

Good questions. I love all children. I see the face of God in each one. I try not to judge, though I often see examples where parents are at fault. In societies where the family unit has been lost, such as in many places in the US, children are parented less. Sometimes I don't blame the parents either, I blame all of us for allowing our society to take the focus so far away from family values and parenting.
