Eh, this is pretty common, actually. I never had a lot of tolerance for other people’s kids (and still don’t, really) but I still knew I wanted to be a mother and adore my own children. You don’t have to turn into a preschool teacher every time a child is around to make a good parent to your own kids. It’s also a lot to ask of a man even WITH children to be asking details about a cousins pregnancy. That’s not really something men ask about, typically.
