#if kids came out 12 id be fine but that would be uh. deadly lmao

On a lighter not family drama note I've actually gotten quite good (for me anyway) with kids thanks to my sister having 3 (and the other four from Void who will never be in my life again because I have standards) so I figured maybe I don't dislike kids so much now.

Enter my poor youngest niece, she's about a year and a half old, and I can't blame the poor lil thing for being cranky after a long week of I think 4 or 5 different Christmas celebrations at my sister's family on her dad's side, her fiancee's family Christmas, my sister's Christmas with just the kids, and then our family Christmas and I know I'm missing one. But poor girl was BOUND to cry a bunch and be whiney, I mean I would be at nearly 30 if I had to do all that in a week even if I DIDNT have to work so I get why she was a cranky bug. But I did learn I am not any more equipped to deal with small children than I ever have been the poor kid was driving me NUTS and my sister was so patient and good with her and I was like yeah. No kid deserves me as a parent lmao, I'll continue with my cats 😂😂

#winters ramblings #shes such a cute lil stinker of a bug shes ADORABLE #but omg she was so cranky and i was like ok remove this child from my presence i cannot with this its ANNOYING #and whats WORSE is that this child is just bring NORMAL its not at all unusual for a kid to be that pooped of celebrations #but god damn if i had to live with that i would DIE i dont even like when my one cat meows constantly at me #just walk over and ask for pets gemma SCREAMING at me from across the room will not result in a pet!! #let alone a whole human child lmao. no thank you no kid deserves whatever horrible parenting id shit out when theyre a toddler #if kids came out 12 id be fine but that would be uh. deadly lmao #my “good with kids” point of pride is when my middle niece from Void realized i was ACTUALLY listening to her talk #i watched her whole face light up when she saw i was ACTUALLY paying attention to what she was saying #she was SO excited. i dont remember what ut was because i didnt care but SHE did and im very happy #that i was able to see such a beautiful moment of a kid realizing someone was ACTUALLY listening to them #and then got my ear chatted off about whatever it was and i listened and engaged the whole time #cant teach kids those skills without SHOWING them that YOU use them first
