Re: scared of being nice to kids -
There is a lot of validity to the OP. Hell, I feel somewhat weird hugging my nephew and niece in front of other people. From what you hear, there are so many "pedophile uncles" out there, that I can't help but think "Don't look like weird uncle...Don't look like weird uncle..." the whole time I'm playing with my nephew.
For a 28 year old I'm pretty athletic still so him and I will begin to wrestle around a lot, which probably doesn't help! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
Often times he'll lead me up to his room and we'll pillowfight while he stands on his bed or whatever and again, a weird feeling ensues, but as long as he's laughing and having a good time, I'm not going to care what my sister-in-law or whoever may or may not be worrying about.
