Can any of you guys feel what a parent's unconditional love might feel like? I mean from the giving end, not the receiving.

Replies Natsy Posted at 1:52 pm on Sep. 8, 2008 you now what they say about the best laid plans... tell me again Posted at 11:51 am on Sep. 8, 2008 Yeah I think that, from time to time. And it's a set of feelings rather than just thinking about it. And PS I think you can. Maybe with blips of interference but you can. LittleBombs Posted at 7:32 am on Sep. 8, 2008 Not sure what it would feel like. I used to never want children, but since being with my bf and having a discussion with him about babies, it changed my mind. I want to be a great parent. I want to teach them about everything early, make sure they know about things such as sex, drugs, smoking etc...instead of them finding out other ways. And I'd want them to come to me to talk about feelings and such, cause my parents never did that. They were more like "Shut up and deal with it". Which doesn't work, cause doing that drove me insane. hI jAMES Posted at 7:29 am on Sep. 8, 2008 It would be tough right now.  I could give it fully in a few years. Themakingofagod Posted at 7:03 am on Sep. 8, 2008 Thats expected as a father.  A lot of people see it as feed them, change their diapers, almost like they are a chore, they never talk about just spending time with them.  A lot of people until they have a kid, think its boring to just hang out with a baby because they can't do the same things they can. dragonking Posted at 7:02 am on Sep. 8, 2008 I do think about it but think it would be tough right now.  I would be able to get up to the challenge though. ladybughope Posted at 6:59 am on Sep. 8, 2008 Quote: from barnabas at 9:53 am on Sep. 8, 2008 I totally think i am capable of giving it.
