What Makes Kids And Babies Hate You
Know This Before It’s Too Late…
As a baby, whenever given a choice, I preferred spending most of my time with my Dad to my Mom. That contradicts a popular belief of boys being more attached to their mothers. Never really wondered why, until one lazy Sunday, when I was lying on my couch and staring at the ceiling fan for no reason.
“Why was I like that?” I wondered.
It was my Mom who took me to the market with her. And almost every time, she bought me a Marvel and DC action figure. She bought me some ice cream too! And I loved them.
My Dad on the other hand, never really took me to the market.
It was my Mom who used to buy me all those cool robots. She gifted me everything that’d make a 5-year old jump with joy. Why did I still prefer spending time with my father?
A good 10 minutes later, I figured out what may be the reason for this.
Note This, My Friend.
It’s because I trusted my father more than my mother. And here’s a one-sentence reason for it: Because he never treated me like a Baby or a Kid.
Remember those idiotic and irritating sounds that people make thinking that they’ll entertain the baby? Yeah, they sometimes do that with their dear pets. My father never did anything like that. He patted me on my shoulder or shook my hand like a gentleman.
Don’t get me wrong here. I’m telling you to stop making those exaggerated stupid sounds. That doesn’t mean you should stop giving attention to the baby. Every single human being on Earth needs attention. So, talk to the baby like a normal human being.
Win his trust. Smile more.
My dad used to treat me like a friend. Never laughed at me when I said something dumb… which my mom used to do. She used to talk about how I used her skin moisturizer as Hair Gel. And my relatives used to laugh at my activities.
Listen to me… Kids are dumb (and creative geniuses). They’re yet to know the ethics, morals, and rules of the adults. So when they tell you something dumb, please don’t share it with your friends and neighbors, just for the sake of laughter. You might lose the little one’s trust.
If she has approached you with some question regarding something, respect that gesture. She did that because she trusts you. Don’t give her a reason not to in the future.
To become really good with babies, stop treating them like one. Treat them as your friend and they’ll always want to be with you. Laugh with them instead of laughing at them.
Congratulations on becoming better with the young!
Thanks for reading, buddy!
