I don't ever want kids. I don't relate to children well & never have. Even with past babysitting experiences when I was in high school I had a hard time understanding children & their needs. I get frustrated that they don't understand what I'm trying to help them understand most times. I don't have the patience to raise a child, let alone several of them! I have this fear that I'll let them down or try to force them to do all the things I never got to do. I know I'll never be happy as they progress from childhood to adulthood because if they aren't 100% successful I'll completely blame myself & possibly end up resenting them for it!
My boyfriend has children & I get to spend some time w/ them every so often. I get along great with them & I think its just because we only see each other for a limited amount of time. If I actually had to "mother" them I don't know what I would do!
