[quote=Anonymous]I love kids, too. I was always interested in hearing about co-worker's children etc. When kids came to the office, I would offer to take them to lunch etc. This was before I had kids. I would buy my secretary's kids little gifts at Christmas etc. I developed a special relationship with a couple of kids over the years... Single moms were often particularly grateful to get a break once in awhile and have other adults in their kids' lives who cared about them. My kids are teens and I "borrow" neighbors' kids. I also do one-on-one time at least twice a year with each of my nieces. I have been the fill-in for mother's day teas in kindergarten, chaperone for field trips etc. It brings me joy. I don't think it's quite the same as being a grandparent... but I enjoy these kid times. [/quote]
