That's how I am, and I was fearing it would have some negative affect on my parenting skills. We were out to dinner last night when I heard some child screaming at the top of their lungs. It's totally understandable that a child would scream, but it still irked me.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100963559924440445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8536316789945720056.post-73902054609672792422010-08-10T20:33:50.267-07:002010-08-10T20:33:50.267-07:00I know, I'm not looking forward to the "t...I know, I'm not looking forward to the "terrible twos" either... But I'm surprised of how much fun I can have with a 9 month old. And I've never been too crazy about babies/kids, but there's something different about seeing your own little one trying to communicate with you. You'll see, it will melt your heart!Anne Pradohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174145593262123939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8536316789945720056.post-40818333152419194762010-08-10T19:31:23.418-07:002010-08-10T19:31:23.418-07:00I'm somewhat different from you.

It's the toddler-tween stage that scares me. That's the age that really separates good parenting versus bad parenting. I want to have adult discussions with my children and talk about real life situations which can't really be done with younger children. I also want to skip that screaming in public/temper tantrum age. :(<br /><br />Even though I'm having a boy, I loved daydreaming of taking my daughter to get manis and pedis together. I missed out on the mother/daughter bonding, so it would be so cool to do it on my own one day.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100963559924440445noreply@blogger.com
