I've got a friend that's 53 who has a five year old and a one year old. I suppose it helps that his wife is 36 but he's loving it.

Enjoy!

It goes by way too fast.

sounds like a normal day in my household.

No he's not. He's just telling you that so you won't think less of him. He thinks that by lying about how wonderful little children are, you'll think he's a better person.


Men aren't wired to love and hug and cuddle small children or live in their imaginations or rock them to sleep. Women are. Men are built to explore and work and create things in the real world. Any man who pretends he loves spending time with little kids should immediately raise suspicion he's either lying, or a perv.

Good grief, you're a miserable human being.

You were raised in solitary confinement by robots weren’t you?

I'll have to admit that I have always been uncomfortable around little kids, even my own. However, this is over the top,

But honest.

Your parenting ideas are even more hilarious than your political ones....

You'd make a nice case study.

What part? I mean, I've never seen any daycare worker or elementary school teacher or Sunday school helper or whatever who wasn't a woman. Not one. Maybe my kids just never encountered them just as I didn't as a child. On the flip I've yet to see a female construction worker, roofer, deck builder, or car repair person. It's so weird you'd think they'd be everywhere.

I think you need to get out more.

I agree with Frosty though, im not a natural with kids either. I'm not really good at fake socializing though either.

Faking amusement/conversation for someone else has never been my strong suit, so when i have to engage in a conversation with a 5 year old that isn't mine....it's a little rough for me to say the least. I try though. I was an only child that was never around kids younger than myself, so at least i have somewhat of an excuse lol.

Very much this. All of my kids' friends were scared of me because I didn't talk when they were around. LMAO

So I need to get out more. To meet folks like you who basically agreed with my general premise anyway. Sweet.

You must not have kids. Nothing beats watching them grow up, tucking them in and rocking them to sleep. Just the fact that you say a guy has to be a perv to show their kids affection says you are deeply disturbed and have no clue what it takes to be a Real Father. :doh!:

I said you need to get out more because there are plenty of women in construction and plenty of men teaching grade skill. My son's first teacher was a male.

Not sure what you mean by this. Other people's kids...yeah...that is a bit weird. But I did enjoy spending time with my son before he became a creepy teenager.
