I (22) live with my parents and older brother and we had family visiting us tonight and they have 2 young children 2 and 3 (turning 4 tomorrow) and omg they’re both so adorable!! Even though they live about 30 minutes away, I don’t get to see them often.

I’ve always been the shy one in the family and whenever we have guests at our house or going to visit people my dad always tell me to speak up, play with the kids etc and yeah I understand that. But tonight I hardly spoke and the kids have to get used to you before you can play with them but they just didn’t want to play with me and it kinda hurt me and they were just playing with my brother.

Whilst they were here it got me thinking that even though I’ve always wanted children of my own that maybe I’m just not fit to be a mother? As what happened tonight wasn’t the first time that kids didn’t want to play with me. And I understand that if they’re your own kids it’ll be different but what if it’s not?
