i'm 16 and babysit about 4 times a week for 2-3 different families. and i have a lot of experience with kids and handling many at one time. i want kids of my own one day when i'm married with a job and a house, but as I'm rocking the baby to sleep, or wrestling with the older boys on the floor, or helping them make their own peanut butter and jelly sandwhichs, or dancing to Jump 5 or the Wiggles right before bed time to wear them out, I can't help but think, I go home at the end of the day. Parents don't. They have to deal with everything. their job is 25/8/366. but what's it actually like to look at the baby your holding and know it's yours, you created it. i can't imagine that feeling. i want a family of my own one day, and i hope my future husband wants 5 kids as I do, but i still can't grasp the feeling of having your own kids. the love that parents and child have for each other, is it really as weird, and wonderful, and complicated as i'm making it out to be?
