It's not that I dislike babies, but they're just not for me. I know that makes me a "failed woman" by most standards, but so be it. It's one of those gender things that really bothers me. Men are allowed, if not expected, to be awkward with children until they've had their own (and even then...). I get looked at like I'm an alien because I really don't want to "hold the baby". Then I end up being talked into doing it anyway. :P I'm better with older children.

And I agree... I need less sleep the older I get.
