[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally feel this way. I am not naturally a nurturer at all. I don’t go out of my way to talk to people’s kids or hold babies throughout the day. I prefer being around adults. I love my kids, and I do all the responsible, caring things they need, but I do think certain personalities are just more naturally suited to parenting.[/quote]

Who are these people who are going out of their way to talk to children or hold babies throughout the day...? What person seriously prefers hanging out with children to hanging out with adults? I think you guys have invented some kind of mother figure that doesn’t exist.[/quote]

My mom loves babies and children. She voluntarily worked at a daycare because she loves taking car of children and now volunteers at a hospital with the babies. She just loves being around kids. When I had my kids, she would happily get up at 3 am when they would wake.

I am a very different type of mother. I love my kids but my love does not extend to kids generally. Just my kids. I am a good mother. I take care of them, I do lots for and with them, I teach them things and I am doing my best to raise good, healthy, productive people. Motherhood comes in many different forms. You do not need to be a super mom to be a good mom. [/quote]
