I can barely remember what it was like to NOT have kids. I got pregnant with my son when I was 19.
My husband and I get a kick out of all the couples we know who say things like they want kids but, aren't ready yet...you're never really ready. Obviously you can go over some of the things mentally and even make some physical preparations but, in general it is never what you really expect it to be like.
As for talking to children like adults...well, they aren't adults. There's definitely a time a place for silliness and baby talk I think it really depends on the child and the situation.
