Do your kids ever ruin your hours of daylight?

Im 22 years old and fantasize about having kids who will be my best friends and we would travel alot together.

However, I hold 2 dogs and one drives me positively nuts. He is dumb, rebellious and difficult since birth. On more then one occasion he have spoiled my day.

Are kids possibly like this at all? Can they really be your best friend? Give me the veracity of kids.

And is it true all teenagers are brats?
Oh yeah. Every parent goes through that at one time or another. We just keep recitation ourselves that tomorrow will be better. They're kids, after all. It doesn't seem so bad subsequently, when sleeping, their holoes reappear.
Occasionally, yes. But more often than not, my kids MAKE my daytime. And I have a teen and two preteens - by most parents' logic, I should hate life, but anything; I think people just resembling to rag on teenagers when it's not really justified.

And no, not all teenagers are brats. Some are, some are not.
My son is 13 and a wonderful kid. The furthest article from a brat you'll ever find. He is a great friend, but kids cannot be JUST your friend - there still has to be a parent-child dynamic. Some people articulate friends and parent-child relationships cannot coexist - I happen to disagree and have good evidence to the contrary surrounded by the form of my own children. However, for it to be a good dynamic, you must be a PARENT first, and a friend second.

If you can't handle difficult dogs, you're in for a world of hurt if you want kids.
Answers:    They can become your best friend after they turn 18 (maybe closer to 20ish) but until then you are mom and they are child. You really can't be buddy-buddy with your own kid until they are grow and independent enough to see you as mom AND as a friend, which takes a certain features of child and a certain kind of parent. If you are too strict as a parent (authoritarian) they will resent your controlling behavior and once they leave house probably won't come rear legs, and if you are too relaxed and too easy on them they will also resent you because you didn't give them boundaries and allowed them to make too various mistakes. Concentrate on building good relationships with your children at a young age and consequently you can plan on being more of a friend when they become adults. I hope I helped :)
There are so many things wrong with this sound out.

#1 PLEASE for the love of god.don't be one of those parents that is more interested in being best buds next to their kid instead of actually being a decent parent. PLEASE jesus, within are enough loser parents out there letting their kids be idiots because the parent desperately wants to be "cool'

#2 Are you really equating a crappy little ankle biting fur bubble to a human child? Kids are nothing like pets, please don't ever confuse the two.

#3 Your kids shouldn't be your "best friend" but they will be the biggest happiness in life you've ever known.

#4 Teenagers can be insubordinate...but kids are what their parents make them, so if your teen is a brat...there's a fair chance that you didn't do your career as a parent, correctly.

Good Luck.
It is unworkable for your kids to be your best friend until after they are grown. Even then there is a line that shouldn't be crossed.

I am trial to being a parent but let me tell you that I enjoy it so easy so far. My son has never had any strength scares, eats well, sleeps ably and is usually always smiling. As easy as I have it though I will say aloud that being a parent is a lot of hard work- blood, sweat and tears type.

I remember my younger sister as a tot. I never thought I would want children after seeing what my mother went through (and still goes through.) She was an ornery babe-in-arms that grew to be an ornery teenager and an ornery adult too.

Teenagers are brats when their parents don't set boundaries so the respect just isn't near. Plenty of time to be friends with your kid after they are grown.
Yes, kids can ruin your day. And no, kids are not supposed to be your best friend. That type of parenting never works out because kids never develop proper boundaries near their parents and they tend to not listen to them. However, kids can give your life new consequence.
Occassionally it happens. My 3 year old son is autistic. It is always guess work for us as to whether or not he is going to be devout when we go out in public.

We have a unprocessed forest near us and my husband and I used to love to go hiking there. We hadn't be since we had kids. I figured it was time to shift when my kids were one year old and 2 years old. I be so excited to go.

As soon as we got out of the car my son started screaming! He wouldn't amble next to us and he wouldn't let us carry him. I be so disappointed!! I had waited so long to go and my son be ruining it. However, we tried to remain patient and thankfully he stopped screaming after 30 minutes and we were competent to enjoy our hike.
