Somehow, I don't think it's only me who has a fear of having a baby. Now don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want to have a child, it's just that I don't feel I'm ready to have one. And to be honest, I'm not sure I'll ever feel I am ready!
I've had experience working with older children (Aged between five an twelve years old) as I used to work in a play centre. Kids at that age I'm used to, give me a child of that age and I'm good. It's just the younger ones, I wouldn't know what to do with them. At least with the older kids you can talk and interact with them, but what are you supposed to do with a baby? They don't talk back! Yer OK, they look cute. But surely there's only so long you can stare at them and say "Awww" before you get bored? And what about the rest of the time, word is they keep you up all night crying and pooping in their pants (Which you have to clean up mind).
Sometimes I wish I could have my child from the age of four. Wouldn't it be great if your girlfriend or wife just gave birth to a four year old child and you could start doing all the fun stuff a parent and child should do together?
Other times however, I wonder if actually having a baby will make me fall in love with the whole situation and be glad I had one. Guess I'll never know until I try it out.
