Just watching other peoples children doesnt mean your ready for your own. What will happen if you have a child and realise you cant cope? And how else could you know what it takes. If you have looked after other peoples children you can have some experience but it doesnt mean your ready cause being a parent is a 24/7 job...
Did you even read? I said I have watched other people's children, but that is not the reason that I know I am ready for my own. I don't know what will happen, because that will never happen. I will be able to cope. I know what it takes because of research, intuition, experience, observation, and instinct. Really, I didn't know parenting was a 24/7 job. I thought I could just put the kid in the crib and only take it out when I want it.:confused:
