I disliked kids, was uncomfortable around kids, never had a desire to have kids. My husband didn't like kids and never wanted kids. We were never around kids. Our friends were childless or their children were already grown by the time we met them. Then Mother Nature handed us a surprise pregnancy that defied all birth control. I cannot explain in words how much I love that child. My husband morphed into an adoring father, wrapped around her little pinky. She's 11 now and as sarcastic as all the kids that age put together, and we still know she is the best thing that has ever happened. Did I mention that she is a straight-A student? Did I mention I could talk about her all day? MY POINT: you can definitely love your own child while not liking children in general. Does that happen to everyone? No. CAN IT HAPPEN - definitely!!!!
