I never really liked kids. I didn't have much family, so no younger cousins, nieces, nephews, etc. which probably makes a big difference whether or not you have lots of opportunities to bond with young children.

but now that i have charlie and olive, i can't say that i LOVE kids... but i definitely like them much, much more and think they're much cuter. like if i see a 13 month old mastering walking, it reminds me of when charlie was that age. i can better appreciate the cuteness in other kids having been through those stages with my own.

Are you a kid liking convert now that you have your own child, or did you always love children?
