Kids. . .

Does anyone else here besides me just not like them? It seems as if, no matter how hard I try, I can never be comfortable around them or enjoy their company. If a kid says an innocent 'hello' to me, I'll wave a little, but I won't be all friendly/smiley like most people would be. I wouldn't babysit if you offered to pay me over a million dollars. And I absolutely cannot stand it when babies cry (and don't give me that b/s about how that's their only way of communication, because not only has that been proven wrong, but even if it was their only form of communication, that doesn't mean I have to like it). I also think that they are a major waste of time, energy, and money that I don't have. It is for these reasons that I don't ever want any children of my own. Not to mention a lot of people I know who have kids have had more negative than positive effects from having them.

So raise your hand if you're a social phobe who does not enjoy the company of children and/or never plans on having them! *Raises both hands*

i can't deal with an emotional kid. But i'm slowly learning to deal with them better. I've picked up a young child without making them cry , and i felt comfortable as
well. That was one time i didn't feel self conscious about it. I guess it's difficult to deal with them because i don't usually find them cute, i like small dogs a lot more.

from the age of 3 upwards they start to come good though, and even if you look back to when you were younger, you'll realise that it was a time when you weren't self conscious, you were free spirited and the expectations of the adult world were off the radar screen. your imaginaton could take you so many places ...they say the darnedest things ..

i only say this because i have little cousins who are the coolest kids ever.

I definitely don't want kids and never have. Luckily, I'm with a partner who also doesn't like kids, so we're fine.

That said, I like to help out teens and young adults, which is, in evolutionary terms, a kind of secondary parenting. That suits me just fine, so I do that online.

I sometimes think I have a phobia of babies. I can't stand disrespectful children. I don't really like how young children are loud and unpredictable.
My cousin has a little girl and she's such a darling. I rarely see her but love spending as much time as possible with her.

I totally agree with this. When I think about when I was a kid, I was kinda quiet, but I was not at all self-conscious and I could do things in front of people and not be conscious about how I look while I'm doing it. I really miss miss childhood years from 7 to 11. It seems it went downhill around 12 or 13 for some reason. It is amazing how time changes many things and some things do stay the same.

I don't mind the kids that behave. But the spoiled little runts who are free to do whatever they want are annoying. About as annoying as the parents who have no sense of discipline or responsibility. The ones who would rather be their kid's best friend, rather than their parent.

What's more annoying are the little preteens and teenagers who act like they're invincible and entitled to everything in life. The ones who act and walk around as if they owned the world. But I guess that's fine for now, since most of them will get their rude awakening in life in the very near future.

I can't stand poor mannered children. The ones that everyone else thinks are adorable because they are "sassy".

That being said I love kids that behave well, I think they are adorable. Then again, I'm a little biased because I'm scheduled to become a mom tomorrow. :)

I'm an uncle since after Christmas. My niece is adorable when she's content but as soon as she starts screaming for attention.........Arrrgghhh!

I'm even more awkward with kids than with adults because i don't like the whole having to baby talk with them, i just have no clue how to interact with them. I also have a fear when random kids say hello to me that i appear creepy and like a paedophile if i say hello back to them. I usually ignore them but then i feel bad for doing it.

My sister has asked me to baby sit for her should she start working again but i am not keen on the idea, especially as she lives 30 miles away.

Oh, and I must mention that I do not like whenever I mention my dislike of children, are these adults who counter me with, "You were a kid once." As if just because I was once a child, I should love children, that I should just want to go right ahead and pop out babies when I get to a certain age because having children is just wonderful. -.-

I don't know why, but I don't really like to be reminded of my childhood, mainly because I did a lot of really 'stupid' things that many adults thought were 'cute.' As my mom always says, "You were so cute as a kid. What the hell happened?"

I dont understand the fuss people make over kids and i hate how they expect me to do the same. That has made me fear kids when they are around because they could at any minute start trying to talk to me and then i have no idea how to respond.. i usually just act as if they arent there. I dont think its the kids that bother me, its just the adults around judging my response to it.

Because all my sisters have kids im expected to make a huge fuss like everyone else is. I dont understand it and i have no interest in it. I have got even more crap from my family for this.. like im just being stubborn or childish or attention seeking or some shit like i always get because im the youngest of my family by a big gap. I have had almost no contact with most of my family for the last 2 - 3 years because of things like this.
