What's THAT all about?? lol), pacifiers (yucky). Then you send them to school and they pick up a whole bunch of nice things to say to their parents.
I'm a dog person. 
I love my nephew to death. He is a precious boy. He cries/screams...LOUD. Five minutes of watching him..is enough to totally wear me down. Trying to rock him to sleep and screaming again?? WHY??
People think it's weird that I'd rather clean up after dogs than go hang out with kids. I guess I'll be the weird dog lady for now. |
I am with you girls!!! I am 34, been waiting 1/2 my life for that 'PULL' or 'NEED' to have kids... all my friends are having them now and I just don't have it. I think I am too selfish. I try to get a friend to go out to dinner and they are always broke and their reason for that??? They have kids. I like not having to sacrifice what I want because I have kids. Plus, they ARE needy! My boyfriend has 2 boys, they are older, 15 & 17, they are easier, but they smell, they are slobs, and no matter what anyone says about having kids to help them, they DO NOT help with ANYTHING without being prodded, begged, threatened... we only have them part time and they are like 2 tornados and when they leave after a weekend I'm left in a MESS! Kids are not rational, I can't stand not being able to reason with a 2 year old having a temper tantrum because he can't swing his bat in the house. lol I love my nephews, I love my friends kids, but they all go home and I like that too!
(Now I'm going to ride my motorcycle to the store and buy myself dinner and a ridiculously expensive purse! hahahaha KIDDING!)
