Building Self-confidence on babies

Becoming father for almost seven months, I found an interesting fact: Adults tend to prove themselves usful through the reaction of babies.

It is funny that when adults find babies have good reaction toward them, they tend to think themselves special. Therefore when I took Samuel with me, I usually heard: “He (Samuel) is smiling at me!” These people are not serious inclined to the attitude I mentioned above. But I am sure you do seeing some people referring themselves as “baby-killers”. In their opinion, what all parents did were wrong, only they are right; if a baby wouldn’t stop cring, they would grab the crying baby as fast as they could and hold it as fast as they could because “only they knew how to make a baby stop crying”.

How about me? I think I do have a little inclination. Basically, if Samuel stopped crying while I hold him, I would feel happy; if he kept crying, I felt upset.

Man are afraid of failure, I guess. Therefore even only making a baby stop crying make a man feel successful.

P.S. An advice to those with obvious inclination: Show some respect to the parents. Even you are facing first-time parents, please don’t act like you are knowing-everything-about-babies. You were once a first-timer, after all.
