So my nephews came today cause they were off school. They are addicted to screens. We try to limit their screen time so they actually play in real life and don’t grow up relying on technology. My sister does it, my brothers do it, we all do it. But everytime they come here all they want to do is play video games and watch movies. It stresses me out knowing I’m not doing the right thing but I just don’t have the energy to deal with a tantrum.
Anyway. My real question is. Can you deal with kids? Or does having schizophrenia mess that up for you? I can never have kids with the medication I’m on. It’s kind of a blessing really. I love my nephews but god are they annoying after an hour.
I found it very different with my own kids than with other people’s kids. Having said that, I appreciated when they were older and could do things like dress themselves etc. I loved the teenage years. Now that the oldest 3 are adults and on their own I sure miss them. Love having my 17 year old daughter with me. We get along so well. I was fortunate to have very good kids.
This is true. When they’re your own you love them in a way you never thought you ever could. It’s so strong it’s impossible for non parents to understand. So as the parent, your love for your child helps you through it
I deal pretty well with kids such as the two boys from my old apartment building to my nieces and nephew. My four year old nephew is now calling me by my first name which gives me a warm feeling.
Unfortunately I don’t want kids myself but that’s okay and it sounds like the responsible thing to do. Sure my mom would have liked more grandkids but sometimes Skunks are different.
I’ve never had kids and now I can’t have kids. So I’ll never know the unconditional love between a mother/father and a child. I imagine it’s beautiful though.
