I LOVE children. I work with children for a living and I love it. I love little kids, big kids, even most teenagers!
However...babies don't really interest me. I objectively think they are cute...but in a kind of I am supposed to think they are cute way.
Someone brought his baby to work yesterday and all the other women were cooing over him and I thought the guy looked kind of cute holding the baby (I think men look cuter holding babies) but that was about it...
I assume when I have my own baby I will feel differently about it but occasionally worry that something is wrong with me and I should just adopt an older child. I know it isn't the same thing but I also did not want a puppy and adopted a 4-yr-old dog I adore.
I hope no one with a baby takes this personally. I don't dislike your baby...I will just be a lot more interested in him/her when they are about 1 1/2 and up.
Does anyone else TTC or even who already has kids feel this way? Is something wrong with me?
