Only once have I met a kid that made me really look forward to having one of my own. He was ADORABLE and I almost cried at how cute he was. His dad was just as adorable.
But otherwise? Boogers, drool, nappies, vomit, sticky fingers, ruined wallpaper/carpets/car/life, tantrums, fear, tooth fairies/Santa/Easter bunny, childcare, no sleep, crumbs EVERYWHERE, and no sleep isn't my cup of tea.
Also, last time I was looking after a baby, baby hit his head. It wasn't my fault at all, and it wasn't even BAD. But I was made to feel really shitty about it at the time by the girl I was chilling with at the time. My best friend just had a baby, and whilst I can't wait to meet the guy, I'm also petrified that I'll hurt him, or get puked or boogered on.
I'm not a very patient person either.
