Have you ever heard someone who doesn't have kids boast that they'd be a perfect parent because they babysit and know a lot about kids and are good with them and had to try really hard not to laugh???
I do all the time. Seriously, they have no idea....

I do not have kids because I don't think I'd be a good parent. It is such a huge commitment and I really wouldn't want to mess some poor kid's life up. I barely have the time and energy to take care of myself, much less a little one! I have all the respect in the world for people who are unselfish enough to want to have children. Kudos to you and all the other great parents out there,
By the way, who stuck a bat up Alyssa's nightdress?

I hear that stuff. It's a joke. Babysitting is one thing. Being there 24/7 is another. Babysitters get to go home and don't have to be there around the clock. They're not the ones who have to provide food, diapers, clothing, toys, or anything for the kids they babysit. Plus, they get paid for it.

YES! It is really annoying to the point I wann put them in a headlock and punch them in the face!
***My cousin came to visit during the holidays and she has no kids, and we were at a restuarant one nite and I had ordered my kids fruit and veggies instead of french fries; she was feeding them her french fries while I had gone to the barside to order us drinks. I was really salty when I came back and I said 'they need to eat their veggies before they have anything else!' She said in front of my babies (who are 5 and 3) "oh I told them they could have some as long as they promised to eat the rest of their plate after." Then she smiled at me and I looked like the bad guy to my kids. Then my cousin said 'All you have to do is negotiate with kids and its easy, a piece of cake, trust me, I know kids.'
Well my kids did not eat the rest of their food which is much more healthy for them and it was my decision.
I was very irritated!

they assume they would be good parents,but they are only with the kids a few hours they need to try it 24/7 sometimes and realize the reality of being one...!!!

thats true. its easy to take care of kids when there is a time that their parents come home. its way different when you have kids of your own and you dont get days off.

Yes I do--I almost answered a question on here about that, but I figured it would just be written on deaf ears.
