I never wanted kids most of my life. But I grew up help raising my cousin’s babies. So I know how to take care of them.

However, when it comes to seeing other people with their baby, I can think “oh that’s cute… but at a distance” I don’t really want to interact with their kid.

But I know with mine I love him. But I just don’t look forward to the little play dates with other moms and their children.

However, when I see my own family kids, at least the ones where I know we share the same parenting style, I’m fine with them.

I guess for me it’s more of I don’t know how to set rules and tell someone else’s kid “no” or to stop because I feel like it’s not my place.

It’s weird cuz I’m not like this at all with people’s dogs. I’m fine with setting rules, telling them no, recorrect behavior, and letting them have fun.

But when I see other moms, especially if they have more than one kid, I just kind of want to avoid them.

And by kid I mean anyone under than 6 years old.

Idk if it’s because I still struggle with imposter syndrome, even tho im going to be a mom soon I still feel like I don’t belong in this “mom” group. Yet I know that won’t make me be less than a mom. I just don’t feel like I fit in that social circle if that makes sense. Idk it’s weird.
