Bringing up my nephew
Date: 2009-06-25
I took care of my brother's son when he was born so I know all about daddy care now, hahaha!! Bringing up my dear nephew was a lot of fun, each time he cried I'd give him back to sis-in-law and each time he wanted to play I would play with him. Kids are sweet, and babies need so much care too. I can't wait to have kids of my own but that's not happening any time soon!

Fathers stay away
Date: 2009-06-25
its better if dads do not touch kids at all!! I know I should not say this a few days after fathers day, but my hubby sucked so much at child care that I warned him not to do anything but hold my baby once in a while :D:D:D but quite honestly I think men are destined to be bad at handling babies... but do not feel bad guys!! I am sure there are exceptions but having seen only my husband, I do not know!

I gave up smoking
Date: 2009-06-25
I gave up smoking for my daughter. The very day she was born. I never thought i would be able to give it up so easily but I did. The moment I saw her I knew she would never forgive me for being a smoker. I still remember the days when she kept me and my lady up all night long... she's 7 now... it's horrible but satisfying at the same time. Being part of a baby's life is one of the best things I've ever done.
