  • Why I Like Boys Who Are Good With Kids

    I've always been subconsciously attracted to boys who are good with kids. I love kids myself, I want to be a teacher and my summer job is completely working with young children, but I never really understood why I always was so automatically drawn to those types of boys. Then I started to think about it.

    1. Patience: Guys who can work with kids without getting annoyed or angry obviously have patience. Kids can be very loud and crazy and always want your attention. A guy who can deal with that can most likely deal with my sometimes crazy emotions and will be patient with me when needed.

    2. Listening: Kids always want to tell you the most irrelevant stories. They want to tell you about the time their hamster ran away and the time they climbed a tree all the way to the top. (Trust me, I listen to several of these stories daily) Boys who can listen to these stories without interrupting are good listeners. It's also a plus when they can make the kid feel good by saying "cool!" and acting like it was the best story they've ever heard.

    3. Communication: You sometimes have to put everything into simpler terms and explain things several times.  You can't use big words or talk about things they wouldn't understand. Boys who can talk to a child without confusing them have good communication skills.

    4. Self Control: I don't usually go for guys with a potty mouth, but if a guy can't even stop cursing because he's around five year olds, then he obviously has no self control.  If you can't think before you speak then it makes me wonder what other kinds of things will slip out of your mouth. It's also good to know they can keep their cool in a crazy situation. If he can't control himself and keep from getting mad when kids are going crazy, fighting, or if an accident happens, then how can he control himself if he gets mad at me?

    5. Innocence: Little kids are the face of innocence. I know kids these days know a lot more than they should but they still remain much more innocent than we are. I love to see when their inner child comes out when they're around kids. When they can do a craft or build a tower with a kid, and I know they're having fun, it's cute, and I know they still haven't completely lost their innocence.

    6. They'll be a good dad: I guess I've been absentmindedly choosing the father of my children (; I want to have a big family and maybe be a foster parent as well as possibly adopt. There are lots of kids who are in need of a home and I want to be able to help even if it's only a small part. Boys who are good with kids could handle being a father to our own kids as well as taking in other kids who might need help. I need someone who will be patient, kind, and gentle with my kids.

    Boys who are good with kids have all the perks that a good guy should have; why shouldn't I fall for them? (;
