Whenever a kid cries for any reason that indicates their distress, my ovaries tie into a knot and I get the immediate urge to run to their aid.
Just today, I was at college and I saw a kid with his Dad walking together to their car and the kid kept saying that he was thirsty (a two year old little toddler boy) and his Dad said "Wait until we get home". Just the complaining was enough to compel me to want to grab my water bottle from my book-bag and give him a drink but that's not my kid.
I don't know how you do it, but I envy you. Kids crying or being distressed provokes me to want to take action more than it amuses or charms me.
Is it normal I like it when babies cry over little things?
