Please tell me I'm not the only one?

Question

Okay so for a few years now I've noticed that I act a little odd or I feel weird around kids. Like I'm a 20 year old girl and I've always wanted to be a mother and I love kids but when I have to care for them like babysitting I feel awkward. Maybe its because they aren't my kid but idk. Like holding babies is ok but after a while I'm like..ok so,what do I do with it now..? ???

I just hope maternal instincts will kick in with my own kids.

Answer

You're not the only one. I love my kiddos but don't want to be anywhere near anyone else's

Answer

I get that feeling sometimes but it's not because I dislike the children its that I want them to like me. When you have your own child it's different you'll have a bond and feel so comfortable because their yours but when it's someone else's child it's a little more effort to get their acceptance. I wouldn't worry about it to much, my friend has never been interested in children but now she has her own her motherly nature shows around other children.
