[quote=Anonymous]I don't have children, so if I had to deal with it 24/7 I'm sure it would get old...but I love playing with little kids.  I love reading to them, making up silly stories, playing pretend, playing with legos, arts and crafts, teaching them games, making up games with them.  My niece (now 7) loves games, so I've taught her various card games, and I even tricked her into practicing addition (she claims she hates math) by making up dice games.  I love curling up and reading stories, playing spa, playing dolls, playing school, playing scientist.  I did a lot of babysitting as a teen, and I spent a lot of time playing make believe and building with legos/trains/etc. since I feel like it's kind of lame to park kids in front of the TV.  I also like watching them squirm and giggle when you pick them up and spin them around.  When I babysat, I used to tell these epic stories after the lights went out to my one neighbor who was like a little sister to me--usually a whole retelling of Star Wars or the Hobbit until she would finally pass out.  My nieces and I love to turn the lights out and tell scary ghost stories with a goofy Halloween flashlight.

I also like being a grown up and having adult interests and my career, and I have no desire to have a huge family. But I would say that playing is the best part--I like it way better than poopy diapers, discipling children, and dealing with meltdowns, anyway![/quote]
