Are babies hard work?



Answers:
uh, undoubtedly yes.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Hard but incredibly rewarding and worth every sleepless night!
YES!!! i can answer that and im not prgnant yet (oh i hope i am) you have to be prepared because they are never going to go away so dont have kids until you are totally ready
Not hard work to make. but hard work to keep.
YES BCAUSE THEY CRY
Is the sun yellow? In a word YES. But they are wonderful and if you start right and as you mean to go on and put them on YOUR timetable they are quite "manageable" No really once on a routine you and baby will be alright.

Good luck
makin' babies? hell no. no problem at all. after that, I dunno
The hardest job I've ever had! They require so much attention. They depend on your for everything. But one smile from their little face makes it all worth it!
When they are first born and sleep a lot they aren't so much hard work as it is hard adjusting to your new life. But once they spend more time awake and as they get older yes they are very hard work. But completely worth it.
more than you'll EVER understand until you become a parent yourself
not only alot of work but expensive too.
No, I found it rather easy.

For example, when the baby would wake up hungry in the middle of the night, all I had to do was nudge my wife and say "Honey, the baby's awake."
At times.ABSOLUTELY! But well worth it! I thank God everyday for blessing us with our daughter. No matter how tired, drained, or frustrated I get - I wouldn't change it for the world!!!
Oh Yes!
But worth it!
Responsibility for a life? Of course. Just remember, that child is YOUR responsibility. He/she will be relying on you.
very hard work but bring a lot of blessings too
Yes...ask your mum.
Is this a serious question? Yes, babies are hard work!!
Yes they are! I have two nephews and I see them about 2 times a week and I am stressed just by watching them for two hours. imagine doing it everyday!

I would probably go insane. I appreciate what parents go through.
Of course they are, but they are also lovely
Hard work but well worth it. Don't ever be afraid to ask for help, we all need help sometimes. Being a parent is what makes life worth living. In my opinion.
No way. I find it really easy.
My wife looks knackered though;)

I just find them expensive and you can't kick them very far.

But you need a few of them to keep you in your old age. It's a catch 22 situation.
It really depends on a lot of things! First and foremost every child is different. If they child has any type of disability or illness they would of coarse be a little more work than one who didn't, although even the most 'normal' (if you want to use that term) child can be a handful. It really depends on how much work and effort you want to put into a child.I mean, there are those people who take their babies and strap them to a chair in front of the televission for most of the day (this is not much work at all), then there are the parents who take the time to find out as much as possible about raising children and spend every waking hour catering to their childs every need. You really just need to find what works for you, and I think that if the right amount of love and enjoyment is there then it won't be viewed as work at all! Children should be a joy to have around, not a chore. You get out what you are willing to put in.
Depends on the baby! My first, now a year, was always happy, so easy going, as long as he was fed and changed, my life was much the same, just with an extra little guy to love and care for.
My second one, who is nearly three weeks, is a handful! He is most awake at night, fusses alot, sometimes cries just to cry, and always wants to be held (never set down for any reason.)
He's still worth it, though!
Yes, more work than i thought, but so blessed. I wanted children my whole life and thought it would be so much fun and a peice of cake. Well its hard work and stressful, but rewarding. I am glad i waited until i was older and more mature before decideing to be a parent, i am also a daycare provider so i care for lots of kids but my son is a handfull 18 months. The hardest part is no sleep. But the best gift of all.
very hard work! my baby was in an incubator for 10 days, then the nurses cuddelled her for the next 8, she NEVER got used to a cot, i had to cuddle her to sleep sat upright until she was about 2. it was the only way i could get any sleep.
Babies are hard work. Teenagers are even harder work.
Yes, and more than one makes it even harder,

I have 3 boys, and i got pregnant when i was young with my first.

Its even harder if your a single mother.

Think about it before you decide on it.

birthcontrol , you can get it for free now you know

and condoms help protect from std's
or diseases

check out planned parenthoods website
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/.

please think before you start something that doesn't finish.

and if you really want to see if you can handle it
volunteer at the hospital or talk to a young single mother maybe you can help her out for a day or 2 to see if its really for you.
having kids are hard work whether they are in their younger years or even when they've already married!

YES, babies are hard work BUT eventually they have a lot to offer!
Yes they are , but they are also very very worth it!eally my little one is 19 months and she is just the best, she really tries my patience sometimes but then they come over and kiss you and cuddle right into you and you njust melt because you know you made this gorgeoous little person.
The other day my mam fell over my daughter's toys and hurt her knee, my lo then went up and kissed my mam's knee sayng now, all better.
You can't but love them
