Is it different when its your own?

Today I babysat a 6 month old and I found myself frustrated by the crying fairly easy......i will be a ftm so I started to feel bad as if I would easily get frustrated with my own when he comes.....and was left wondering if its different when its your own child...kinda scared  me!!

That makes me feel much better! Because it really did scare me and mafe me feel as if id become a terrible mom...you know the one that sits watching tv all day while screaming at her children telling them to go to their rooms!

Oh man, it is totally different when its your own!! I dont perticularly like kids that are not mine, and I get easily frustrated with other peoples children, however with mine I have patience for days=)

It is differant in some ways because u will know a lot of times what differant crys means when it is your own...with somebody else's kid u don't really know plus u will have a mothers instinct that will kick in. But there will be times u feel like pulling your hair out to...haha
