I didn't understand human trampoline. I do now
I don't have any children around me. Are they really annoying? I was surprised, & thankful for the honesty.
I guess they get very bored, & constantly want entertainment. You need to find things for them to do?
I worked at a creche (idk how to spell) for work experience at he & later I looked for work in childcare. Yes, I think you need endless patience with little ones. I don't think I was very good at it. Truly, exhausting job. I think I might like to work with children again, one day
I'm thinking it's really only the toddler age that is annoying?
I worked as teachers aide grade 3&4. They were never whingy or annoying. I loved it. One of my favourite jobs. I can get along very well with kids. It was extremely difficult for me to fit in with teachers. There was mild "bitchiness' - terrible word. I am so different to other adults. I cannot understand, or know how to defend myself in that world. It feels like a form of abuse. I think, they will never accept me, so I give up & distance myself.
Then, they think I'm rude, or obnoxious.
Kids, I can get.
Adults - it is an alien world to me.
It is upsetting, not to fit in - or feel so much pressure to be person I am not.
I am not mum, I'm barely an adult.
I do not judge.
I simply, don't have experience & do not understand .
It makes me lonely& sad. A friend, for me - is the greatest fortune I could ever find.
My cats like me👍
They are new people in our new home. I can give them peace. I am finally, worthy mum.
Sometimes, I hate them! Meowing for food. Constantly changing litter boxes. Them house smells of poop & urine. Why do they do their biggest poops at 4am? I am too tired to take it out.
I love them. Sometimes, I wish I could have a break. Or, I wonder what it would be like if another person also looked after them with me.
Is this what it's like with kids?
I wouldn't spend one sec not wanting & loving them. Tho, they are lots of responsibility. It's hard.
