"Natural" good/bad parents?
Do you think some people just inherently make good or bad parents?
Asking this because, personnaly, I feel very, VERY uncomfortable just being around babies and young kids, let alone hold, feed, change or entertain them...
It's not that I can't tolerate younger children like some people I know, I'm just, I don't know, sure I'll be doing something wrong, or won't know what the heck to do.
I also have a VERY hard time understanding the babblings of kids that other adults (not limited to the parents) seem to understand perfectly. Likewise, I also have a hard time being understood by kids.
Factoring all this, I'm thinking I'm not sewn to be a good father at all. I've had a bunch of people tell me I'm uncomfortable because it's not my kids, and that it's very different when you're the father, but I'm not so sure...
Your thoughts?
