Random thoughts

Beware of Brat!

I got a chance to spend time with a little kid just recently, and now I'm having second thoughts; I said before that I've finally decided that I want kids (although I still had that disclaimer about not being sure) but this little guy just makes me want to change my mind! I admit it was fun tickling him to death, but just seeing how he was, and how he acted when he didn't get his way scared me, and now I don't know what to think about having kids. I can see that it would take loads of patience, and I don't know if I have it in me.

Of course not all kids are like that (I turned out okay, right? Haha!), but how can I be sure mine won't turn out to be like this one was? That's the scary thought - there's no reassurance.

This whole experience made me appreciate and admire those people who take it upon themselves to raise families. My poor parents! I hope I wasn't that bad when I was little!
