This week’s topic: Babies!
I have a confession to make. I don’t like kids.
I know, I know. I have one and I love her more than life itself. I didn’t always dislike humans under the age of twenty. I used to really truly genuinely love children. Then I had one.
If that seems backwards to you, that’s okay. It’s backwards to me. Maybe it’s because I’ve been blessed with a child who thus far, is just SO good. She’s so well behaved and she’s so happy all of the time. She cries very very rarely and never for very long. Crying for ten minutes straight is a major crisis in this house because it just doesn’t happen.
I find that children misbehaving in public make me want to run away. Even my own friend’s children drive me batty sometimes although I do have a much higher tolerance for them than for other kidlets.
It’s because of that that I’m almost entirely sure that I’m going to be happy with just one child. I love her so so so so much that I don’t think my heart can handle loving another one as much as her. My baby has completed my life in ways that I never even dreamed possible.
I have the best baby in the world and I just have no space left to love the rest of the little children out there.
I never wanted kids and now I have two! And I feel exactly the same way - even when Joe is pulling his spawn of satan act. There just isn’t enough love left.

I’m telling you, she looks just like you. Beautiful. Inside and out.
I miss you.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:38 amThat’s understandable. I can’t stand misbehaving children either. It is my fear that I will have a bad child and all of the things I hate about toher children will become my own problems. But I do think it is the parenting that changes things. And it looks like you are the perfect parent!
July 31st, 2009 at 5:28 pmSounds like your cute baby is all you need. My first was like her, but instead of being happy with the one, I wanted to duplicate her and tried for more.
The picture is great, shows how happy you both are!
August 1st, 2009 at 8:16 amI wish I could meet you and Ana, but you do a darn good job of writing about how she’s made your life more fantastic than you imagined it could be. And she’s so adorable!
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:00 pmSuch a cute picture!!
I know a lot of people who don’t really like kids other than their own. They’re very loud
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:51 pmAw! You, and Ana both look adorable.
I haven’t seen you at Gazoonies lately, you should stop by, and check in…
August 3rd, 2009 at 3:54 pmI am totally with you. I baby-sat a kid for 2 months while I was unemployed who was related to me and I got to the point that I needed to get a job or choke him! He had zero discipline aside from when I was there, and if I was withholding something from him when his mom or whoever came home, they would immediately give in. Could not stand it!!!
