The older of the two girls we babysit LOVES DH. Always hopping up on his lap to babble on and on to him about God knows what, tries to share her food with him, asks him to tell her the name of everything he touches, etc. Tonight she was cranky and just wanted him to hold her-and passed out on his chest. He was soaking up every minute of it. He looked at me and said "I love this. I just wish we had our own."
Gah. I know he meant nothing by it, but it stung when he said it. *sigh* I wish we had our own too, DH. I wish we did too.



Re: Ouch.
I was going to ask the same thing.
It positively makes my ute ache. Its different though with other peoples kids for some reason, the thought doesn't even cross my mind. Though I'm definately jealous that she obviously likes him more than me lol.
I don't know I think it's because "they" can always hide it from other people. (I sound paranoid now lol) But everyone I know loved my parents since they were so wonderful to everyone on the outside. Its when I actually think about our own child when the panic starts to set in. For now I will live vicariously through my friends adorable children.
