I don’t know if it’s true for everyone, but it was for me.

It’s night and day difference between looking after someone else’s kid and my own.

I guess it’s the sense of responsibility that you are the main caregiver and how your kid turns out is pretty much up to you and your partner.

Same for me, I never liked being around or babysitting young kids that much. But it is totally different with my own kids. And I have noticed that I don't avoid other people's young children quite as much now either because I have learned to appreciate their energy, happiness, and humor (both intentional and unintentional humor).
