Do you like kids?

Rapunzel: I cannot believe your school is encouraging this type of behavior. I don't know how you do it as I could never work where children show no respect. What kind of school is this? Is this a school for children with emotional and/or mental problems?

Sometimes kids don't need to be planned, they can be a surprise!



Cranos's girlfriend: I have something I need to tell you....

That already happened once, but luckily it was a false positive. Nearly gave me a heart attack XD.
 
The good ones that have manners/behavior/respectful as taught by their parents. In fact, a little boy held open the door for me the other day. So sweet.

Southern kids tend to be like that; unless they're totally obnoxious brats. :D

"Yes, ma'am"
 
I love kids, I used to work in youth behavioral therapy and they made each day rewarding. Only thing is that kids don't stop talking so that drives me nuts sometimes lol, I'm so not cut out for my own for quite a while because I enjoy the silence right now.. but at the same time its adorable that they always have so much to talk about. It's really game over though when you see a kid walk all over their parent and they do nothing about it. I get outbursts are bound to happen but it's irritating when the parent just lets them scream and cry and tantrum in the middle of a store. Why do we all gotta be apart of the teaching experience lmao.
 
Absolutely loathe them.
 
I like kids but in small doses. I mean, I did a fair bit of babysitting in my teens but at the same time, I rejected teaching and similar as a career fairly early on. Even in my work as a librarian, children's librarianship was never considered as an option. But I raised one and it seemed to go pretty well. He's now an engineer in the semiconductor industry and married to another engineer. And I got on okay with most of his friends. Still, don't think I would ever do it again even I got into a relationship with someone young enough to still be capable of having them. Grandparenting will probably happen but, as wags have been saying probably forever, the advantage of being a grand is that you get to send them home eventually. So, again, the small doses.
 
I want to be grandparent but not right now. At this stage in her life that baby would be living with me and I'd be doing a lot of the work.
 
Kids are okay, I guess. Sometimes they can be cool and funny, but I've never been inclined to want any for myself.
