I babysat a lot and I even worked at a couple of daycare centers while I was in college and Law School. The children seemed to like me well enough. They would run and grab and hug me and cling on me and drool on me and so forth. I even like babies – I'm not so keen on when they start talking but baby to about three I think it's good. But it didn't make me think I should be a parent. I've known too many people who've had babies to fix what they thought were their parents' bad parenting (not necessarily consciously) and who did just as bad a job with their own kids -again through no ill intention. Now granted, it was often a different bad job
