For the men - how do you feel about childcare?

How do you feel about bringing up your own children?

I'm particularly keen to find out the opinions of those who've never had any of their own children - yep, that includes the Behemoth's and MegaTsunami's of this world.

Also - how would you feel about fostering, or working in the childcare industry?

If you don't have children - then do you ever babysit for your relatives?

Thanks.

We babysit the grand children, nice to see them but also nice when they go back to mum

That's exactly what my mum says about my sister's children!

Mind you - she finds a way of padding the story out a bit. And I've noticed, she pads out the bit about how nice it is for them to go back a lot more than the bit about how nice it is to see them.

I don't believe it, this is the second new thread squidgy has put on regarding children.
Are you getting broody or comming down with some thing,

I prefer to think I'm getting broody. I don't think I'm coming down with something - more likely, I think I might have had some sort of illness before, which suppressed my broodiness - and that I'm now starting to recover from that illness. Don't know what that illness is - but does it matter?

So - WOM - does that surprise you? Why's that then?
