NO ONE would survive ;) Just be aware that toddler hood happens quickly...like, 1st birthday quickly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-easier-when-they-are-your-own#post-49019 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:35:57 +0000 venice4504 49019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing with them really helps with their level of speed and needs. Thus the reason I'm happy we birth newborns and not 16 year olds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-easier-when-they-are-your-own#post-49016 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:15:58 +0000 Andrea 49016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is and it isn't. It is easier to hand them back to their parents if they are not your own as the PPs have said. But on the other hand, when they are your own you know their idiosyncrasies and can deal with them better. Also you love your own unconditionally and will probably be more patient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-easier-when-they-are-your-own#post-49015 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:15:35 +0000 Rosie Girl 49015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your own are the same, but because you grow with them, you don't realize it when the time comes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-easier-when-they-are-your-own#post-49013 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:07:33 +0000 heffalump 49013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO isn't able to move around yet. But I agree with @chopsuey119, it's way easier to be able to give them back to their parents! It's hard to entertain a baby all day long every day. And it was especially hard when she was younger and would cry all day due to reflux. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-easier-when-they-are-your-own#post-49011 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:48:58 +0000 chopsuey 49011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's easier when they're someone else's. Cause you can give them back to their parents!<br /> It's tough when you're dealing with your LO, but it's definitely worth it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-easier-when-they-are-your-own#post-49010 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:20:22 +0000 PennyLainne 49010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello Bees,</p> <p>We are currently expecting. It is a very exciting time... Well. Last night I was baby sitting my neighbors boy, he is about 2 years old.... Well OMG go go go go go! He was into everything! He was everywhere all at the same time and I don't think he sat still for more that 2 mins! It was crazy! He was a good kid and if you said no don't touch that then he would leave it alone but still you had to catch him before he was carting it around. </p> <p>Please tell me that it is easier when it is your own. I am all worried that I will never be able to keep up to them. </p>
