Never happened yet.

Having said that I have taken care of other kids of different ages, from new borns to teenagers and that definitely has changed me.

First babysat at 21. And was a roommate's infant daughter.

Understanding kids helps you in understanding yourself at those ages. Therefore you can help them better.

Would I do it over again? Definitely!

How many? Oh boy! I don't remember how many I took care of as is. 🤣

One group there was twelve preteens! 🤣 Only did that twice. Too many at once.

Babysat four siblings several times from 4 to 10 years old.

That's not all of them. Especially all the babies. 😊

@DeWayfarer You are a father in deeds then. LOL. You like little kids? And babies? That is endearing, my friend. They get LOUD. LOL. Thank you. If you did have kids, if that were possible, how many would you choose to have?

@PoetryNEmotion as many any women would want. Even babies grow up.

Even if it's only one.

I do believe that's the women's choice. She has to bare it.

Obviously I can't.
