[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I feel I lack the patience.

I adore my infant nephew but I was beyond bored when I babysat him. It was monotonous after like 10 minutes of play time. I have an amazing 6 year old niece but she’s sarcastic, stubborn, and whiney at times. I really can’t take it.

I was with my sister and her kids today at Old Navy and this kid kept slamming the doors to the changing stall over and over. I almost wanted to yell to get that kid to stop. Another was incredibly whiney and I just couldn’t listen to it. I find kids who whine past 2 incredibly irritating and annoying. [/quote]

Lol - yes there is some frustrating parts of parenthood. Like naps, lack of sleep and listening to yabba gabba a billion times. My kid is now 15. We've traveled all over the world together and let me tell you. People light up and engage with you differently, in a more genuine way when you travel with a child. Just got into TJ, is a rockstar athlete and one of the nicest people that I've spent my life with despite having a less-than-ideal childhood (Dad had very unstable situations in the past).

As for behavior, I don't tolerate that at all from my kids. I used 1-2-3 magic with one and it still works at 15. For the other I just get serious and the behavior stops immediately. [/quote]
