I'm not like a regular uncle, Im a cool uncle

[borlandia]

Ignition broke on my truck this morning. Had to borrow the gal's car - and later explain the Subaru with the "Hello Kitty" license plate doesn't belong to me.

I'll never have children, more than likely. For a variety of long winded reasons - another post for another day.

I think I'd make a mediocre father. I think I'd probably make a pretty decent uncle.

My sister wants to have children, but life is kind of getting in the way of that.

I have one very good friend who has a child, but no one else close to me.

I think I'd be a lot like Uncle Ted from "Bobby's World". Good in settings outside of my own - kids would probably be horrified or unsafe if they came to where I lived. I remember there was an episode where Bobby went to Uncle Ted's house and thought it would be fun and ended up being bored because all Uncle Ted did was play poker and watch TV.

I think I have a lot of life lessons I can dispense to eager youth. I just don't have the patience and mental fortitude to raise children.

Uncle Ted was the best.

I have SO much patience for babies and young children and I still struggle with it sometimes.. it's incredibly hard!

I admire when people know themselves well and are okay admitting that they don't want children or even that they don't like them.. It's a lot better for everyone's sake!

Ha! I love when he drives my car and is slightly embarrassed by the chevron monogrammed license plate. I approve of hello kitty.

I just love that you're talking about Bobby's World. Lol.

I go back and forth on having children. Biological clock is ticking. But then there's Janet Jackson...

I am good with children. I would be a good mom but I'm also selfish still and like my own life.
