[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 729837, member: 1550"] Hi. Another cool thread!! I never ever helped cared for younger siblings. I was not a focused kid...it was best for all that I didn't. But I loved to play with the neighborhood babies and always dreamed of being a mother. So....I did not have hands on experience with babies, but I seemed to take to it like a duck in water after Bart was born I loved my first very much. He cried a lot but it did not anger me or make me upset. I learned quickly to sterilize bottles and heat the formula and since I had no desire for anything but disposable diapers, they were no sweat. I loved to feed my son and cuddle him and would have breast fed except I was on medication. I raised three babies. Sonic and Goneboy did not come as infants. Princess and Jumper did. I adored caring for them. Bart was my only baby who cried a lot. God gave me lots of patience for my kids. Always. I am grateful. My own mother treated me like dirt but I made sure I was not like her. Sonic came at two and with his autism and drug exposure and he was a sweet boy but had many tantrums and did not sleep and was in diapers for four years but neither husband nor I got mad at him....maybe having a sweet, helpful, understanding husband helped. Bart got harder with time but I never lost it or hit him. Same with Princess during drug days. All the kiddos, minus Goneboy, tell me they had great childhoods. We were not strict, but the kids knew what we would tolerate and not tolerate. We were child-centric though. My downfall was my lack of organization. I was always losing something and running g around looking for it lol! At one time I wanted ten babies! I'm so glad that never happened...yikes!! [/QUOTE]
