Children are a burden. - Lemmy.World

I have kids that I raise, they are great kids, I live them to death but if someone thinks kids aren’t a burden (of any sort) than they’re lying.

I don’t want children, but I wish I would know how to handle a child so I can help out family in case needed.
Just ask the family member that you want to help what you should do. If the kids are young they like to talk your ear off or play. Many a kid used me as a make shift tree to climb on lol
