I guess it depends on the kids. I love my two nieces (8 and 3yo). They're not blood relatives but I'm good friends with their parents, and especially close to their mother. I love to spoil them with presents. For Christmas I got them an American girl doll (not cheap at $105) a special Holiday dress for the doll, these were mainly for the younger one. For the older one (my favorite) I got her a $25 iTunes gift card and a plush Angy bird, the blue one, she's obsessed with "Angry Birds", she dressed up as one for Halloween and I've been buying her the plush toys throught the past 6 months (first her mom got her the red plush, I added the Black one, the green pig from the game and now the blue one for Christmas).
The girls are incredibly well-behaved, polite and compassionate.
Children seem to be attracted to me like magnets. When I went to Disney World a couple of years ago on three seperate occasions children came up to me crying they they had lost their mum or dad. I had to explain to them that strangers can be dangerous (without scaring them) that I was safe, that next time they should go to a Disney employee (it's the themepark's policy) and find their parents all at the same time.
Which somehow I managed to do.
Perhaps children like me because I'm a child at heart myself. I spend a lot of time at toy stores, comic book shops, etc. it does scare me a little, I don't want anyone to think I'm a pedophile!
My partner on the other hand adores children!
He dotes on his niece and nephews.
One time we were taking a romantic vacation to Miami Beach, we decided to go to the regular family beach one day and there was a sand castle contest and there was a little boy crying because his parents would'nt help him build a sand castle. So my BF immediately went into action and helped him build his castle and they won the competition!
(it was my job to haul wet sand)
I'm afraid of becoming a father because My own father was abusive at times and they say if you had a bad father you will become a bad father.
Wether or not we ultimately have children depends on what my partner wants, I want him to be happy.
