well, if caring for my 2 yearold sister is any indication of how i'll treat my children, then it's not so bad...providing they're not like my sister.
i tell her not to do something and she just stares at me with a mischievious smile slowly growing. then she runs off and does what i just told her not to do. [/quote]

It's a sibling thing. They sure do like to intentionally push our buttons.

Locking them in there might scare them, especially since it's so forceful.

I also had a really bad experience with something like that when I was little. My dad despises tears and usually his short temper comes out or he gets into mockery mode when he sees someone do it unless it's because somebody died or something. Then it's acceptable to him to have someone cry. I cried in front of him when I was like four or five and he scared me with yelling that I needed to stop crying. I made myself stop sheeding tears but I still kept breathing in such a way that he could tell that I was holding back tears which made him mad, so he angrily put me into the bathroom and said that I couldn't come out until I was done.

but I seriously doubt I'll have kids. I have no patience what so ever with people under the age of 10.[/quote]

Adopt older kids then. Lots of them need homes.

[quote name='Archaeology cat' post='1932398' date='Jul 26 2009, 11:12 AM']Neither did I, until I had my own child. I never knew I could have so much fun with a baby.[/quote]

I told my mom I never wanted kids. Now I have dozens of them and wish I had more! You are so right, Archaeology cat, kids are great and worth it all!

I felt so bad for my older foster brother because there were some families who said they'd take his younger brother, but not him, because he was 12 at the time. His brother was 5. Thankfully there was a family that wanted both of them together (my parents were too old to adopt them)

I know what you mean! I'd love to have an entire houseful now.

So one of my friends is due to give birth next month and she and her husband won't tell people what the name of the baby boy will be. She said that it was a biblical name and her husband (perhaps) said that it started with an E and he said that it was six letters long. I figured it out basically right away but my friend's friend didn't. She had to think about it and then she exclaimed, "Oh Gabby, that's such a dumb name- Edward!"



We laughed and told her that there was no Edward in the bible. I mean what bible was she reading, one where there was a gospel according to Twilight?


My friend in private confirmed that I had guessed right that the baby's name was going to be Elijah.

My Mom never tells other people what the name will be. She had a bad experiance

I agree with that. My mom told me that it isn't a good idea. I wouldn't even give the slightest clue and I would have my husband promise that he wouldn't tell either and not give ANY clues.

My brother had a bad experience with that, too. We told people the names, and answered any negative comments with "well, it's not your child and this is what we've decided". I feel bad for my cousin b/c my sister [i]still [/i]makes negative comments about our cousin's son's name (Leif). He's 2.5 now. I think it's cute, personally.
