If I ever have a child?

Question

If I ever become a father of a child I have this weird feeling he/she will be difficult, how come?

Answer 1

dont worry.

everyone who is or wants to become a parent has those worries and it will be difficult sometimes.

but youll push through it.

Answer 2

Join the queue :). For me it was quite similar, but i thought it might be my fear of "another level" of commitment. Plus, I was always reminded by my parents that I was very difficult as a baby, cried a lot, and so on. So I have had similar expectations from mine. I mean why should I have a better luck than my parents? Or perhaps I thought I deserved to have a difficult baby? She is now 6 months old and perhaps it was difficult at first, but to be honest nowhere near what I was dreading.

Perhaps they will not be difficult, but strong willed? Isn't that nice though?

Answer 3

Either your just a pessimist or you were a difficult child and are scared it will come back to haunt you.  You never know what you'll get. You may have an absolute angel or the devil in disguise.  Don't let your fear stop you from having a child though.  It will likely be the best decision of your life either way.

Answer 4

were you a difficult child, maybe thats why

Answer 5

As children grow, they go through many phases and life changes.  Some of them can be difficult to handle.  In my experience, I have a 2 yr. old and a 5 week old.  They are both at difficult stages right now :)  But your love for them helps you get through it.  You will be amazed at just how much you can handle.  :)

Answer 6

Most babies CAN be difficult.  Thinking you will have a perfect baby is unrealistic.  But, once you discover your baby's personality, his/her needs and wants and meet them, he/she wont be so difficult. Its a learning process.  Good luck whenever/if ever you become a daddy!

Answer 7

Sometimes things will be bad. When they are teens and yell a lot and get mad at almost anything! But when they grow up it is nice to have  them around. And it won't be difficult when they are grown up.

Answer 8

Maybe you were as a child?

Answer 9

All babies and children are difficult from time to time, even if they're content, sweet-tempered, and mellow most of the time. Parenthood is challenging. Focus on the rewards instead of on the "what ifs." You may see children everyday that you consider difficult, but it's different when they're your own. You will know what to do and how to handle situations when they arise. Good luck.
