I was introduced to the saying you have "Fun Uncle" potential recently. Apparently, it's the nice way of saying I probably would be the best father. Yet, here I am totally embracing my "Fun Uncle" potential. Here is a list of qualities which I think will help you figure out if you too are on the right track of being a fun uncle.
1. Habit of Tossing Kids for Fun
Honestly, I don't know what's wrong with tossing kids in the air they really love it.
2. Have Mini Me Thoughts
I feel as though fathers probably think more of their children than just reincarnates of themselves.
3. Expect a Limited Amount of Time
If you find yourself looking forward to the end of your time with a kid, probably shouldn't have one anytime soon
4. Never Really Changed a Diaper
I just kinda find the closest person with this particular skill set.
5. Talk to Kids Like an Adult
The baby talk thing is degrading for me and I believe for the baby also
6. Carry a Baby More Like a football
Apparently, there is a proper way to hold a child. I 100% sure it isn't the way I hold them.
7. Television Babysitting
Honestly, best life hack ever is to put Nick Jr on and not have to do anything else.
8. Unable to Say No
I feel as though if a child has the audacity to ask to have ice cream for dinner who am I to say no?
9. Television Learning
This is different from television babysitting, because instead of Nick Jr they would be watching PBS kids.
10. Buyer's Remorse
There is always that moment when you question why you even wanted your own child in the first place.
There you have it. If you guilty of any of these 10 childcare "sins" you probably lean more towards fun uncle than father. Maybe it is the lack of maturity or... nope, it is definitely the lack of maturity.
