What do you think about a girl with a maternal instinct? (Page 2)

Anonymous · 2011-04-25T11:51:31Z

I am 18 years old and here is something about me: I grew up in a household with 3 younger brothers and I practically raised them along with my parents who worked a lot. I love little children and I'm "natural" when it comes to dealing with them. I enjoy it, even if it's tough. I am "the wise/smart one" in my group of friends and they tend to come to me for advice. I have always been very protective of my, especially female, friends. I would stand up for them, even physically, because the long experience in martial arts allows me to do so too. I am not invincible or large, but I am ready to do almost anything. I grew up in this role of the protector and nurturer, learning to stand on my own, that I noticed I started to display it towards the guy I use to have a crush on. (I was worried about him when he acted like a crazy brat, and was not impressed like others for example. Now I have to admit it was kind of funny and "cool", I didn't stop him but I wasn't happy at all to hear about it, let alone amused.) I know about all kinds of love and I know how to be romantic, but this nurturing love is a part of me that I often can't help but display. I want to have children one day and the thought of it makes me happy, even though most of my female age-mates disagree. I want to protect people I love and I feel like smacking them when they do dangerous things. Again sometimes... I want to be the one being spoiled. I want to have someone who wants me for more then friendship or safety. I feel like doing something stupid just so I can see if someone is going to pull me back and protect me.. I want to fall in love. Is this impossible for someone like me? Are you guys repulsed by this behavior in a girl? Is this motherly instinct I have something that might scare you away? How about the people who often depend on me? Would the girl who appears strong make you feel inadequate and make you presume you would be unneeded? I am not ugly, I'm not stupid and I enjoy making people laugh. I seem frail at first sight, but once guys come to know this side of me I think it scares them away or makes them just stay friends. I can't help but to conclude it's so, so I need you to answer my questions because I'm not sure. Thank you

I had a maternal instinct at a VERY young age, but I intend on waiting at least a year to have a baby

  A pediatrician , like any M.D. has to avoid at all costs emouional nvolvment with his patients because most of the kids a doc will see are ill and not all of them will be cured, some will die, notwithstanding the sience and the efforts of the pediatrician.
  
  Any doctor who gets emotionally involved with his patients will end up with a depresson.

  I know that. I have a way with kids. They are so simple, honest and pure but that doesn't mean I won't be mature enough not to get attached. A doctor does he's best not to be emotionally involved as I will too. But no matter what section you take, pediatrics or not, you have to work a lot on this.

  Wow, really? I understand the theories behind not liking kids, but you were a kid once. The instinct to nurture applies to our adult friends and family members too, not just children.

  I understand nurturing and caring.. but not maternal (mothering) instinct. I really don't get it. Like people want children and I guess I'm more so confused as to why people want children but I suppose people who do want children get confused when people like me don't.

  Maybe if you had a little child who cries but calls your name if hurt, a child which lifts their little arms hoping you will hold them, a child who crawls into your bed because they are scared at night, a child which imitates acts of kindness because they want to be like you, a child who draws you and themselves in crayons. Have you ever been hugged by those little hands? It is the purest and the most beautiful connection two humans can make. Because one of them IS pure and innocent. =)

  LOL that little story reminds me of when I was at baskin robbins the other day. I was getting ready to get some ice cream while waiting for my friends to meet me somewhere and this little girl keep following me, going up to me and trying to hug me. It was so cute, but at the same time ackward because I didn't know the parents and I was trying not to look bad.
