[quote="distracts] And - here's the funny part - when I'm on hormonal birth control, I go back to not liking them, only to like them again once I'm off it. It's even MORE noticeable with babies - when not on birth control, I'm wild into babies, but when I'm on it, I don't want them anywhere near me and find them really annoying.
OMG me toooooooo! It's so weird isn't it!?
I had a really happy loving childhood whereas hubby definitely did not... It's taken us 10 years together to get to the stage where we both feel 100% happy and committed to the idea of having one child. I was never going to push him into it EVER so it had to be this way.
We both didn't really like kids very much in general, I liked toddlers & babies whereas he was always better with older kids who can walk/talk etc - probably no suprise there. Then my older sisters had kids and now we have 6 nieces and nephews - this has led to a lot more actual quality time spent with children and helped us to get used to them, understand them better etc.
I don't automatically like them just because they are kids but rather give them a chance to make a positive impression on me first before making any judgements... some are darlings...others are not...
