Why I'm Not Sure I Ever Want Children...

Eighm · 2012-04-06, 03:01 AM

My older brother has two kids, the younger of whom is six years old. This was my brother's status update on facebook earlier today:

My son is yelling. He says, "I dropped my juice box in the toilet!"
Me: "Okay, we'll get it in a second..."
I continue prepping dinner and all of a sudden he is like, "AHHHH!!!!! I'm POOPING ON MY JUICE BOX!!!!"

I just don't even know how I would deal with this scenario at all.

I love my children. I wouldn't trade them for the world.

Yes, there are moments like this that could make you grind your teeth. But there are other moments like coming home after a stressful day at work and having your children look at you with such genuine joy, running into your arms and giving you a hug and kissing you. It's those kinds of moments that, as parents, you need to cherish.

Now how would I react to that? I'd probably fish the juice box out of the toilet and have my son drink it.

I kid, I kid!

I'd at least pour the rest of the juice into a cup and have him drink it. I'm not cruel.

I'd tell him that if he wants something he shouldn't defecate all over it.

And I'm now realizing I'm the one that has to clean it up.....

and you can still have your revenge when your old enough by pooing all over your bed and having your kids clean it up because you are too old

Or rather warm, in this case...

My 14 year old brother lives with me and making sure he goes to class and does his homework is tough enough. One thing I am settle on is I want to make sure I am settled personally before I start harboring a kid of my own. I rather not live paycheck to paycheck.

Ahaha, these kids are hilarious!

Yep, they poop on the juice boxes every now and then, but basically being a parent is more joy then torture
