Right. We know that they're not supposed to sit quietly in a corner. We don't expect them to. We expect them to be loud, hyperactive and annoying. That's why we don't like them.Reptiloid said:

I don't like immature behavior, it's that simple. People who bring poorly behaving kids out in public are a much greater nuisance to me than smokers.
Kids are a necessary part of life, I don't hate kids per se any more than I hate e.g. feces. But by this analogy, a parent who brings their kids around me is like a person who brings feces around me, so the hate is directed at the parent.

Why do some people hate anything so much? Because opinions/personal experiences/they can.
Like my friend hates dogs because they killed his cat. Fair enough.
So maybe people hate them because they can be: annoying, smartass, annoying, messy, annoying, a burden, or annoying. Did I mention they can be annoying?
Personally I don't really care all that much.

It might be the exception, but my girlfriend and I reason (maybe 'bargain' is a better word) with our 2 year old all the time. When she was maybe 16 months old we were playing in her room right after her nap, flipping her around on her mattress (she loves to be thrown around), and I had to change her diaper (which she absolutely hated for some reason). She kept saying 'Flip one more time' when I tried to pick her up, so I finally just said "I'll flip you one more time if you let me change you after." She said ok, I flipped her again and she said "Ok change me daddy" (I flipped her a few more times after changing her since she actually did what she said she would). Just today for her 2 year shots (where she understandably cried after they stuck her) we told her that if she stopped crying she could have a lollipop. The waterworks shut off within 5 seconds. Rare, but it's possible.Amethyst Wind said:
OT: I've got nothing against children in general, and I think that the tyrannical ones are just a byproduct of stupid parents. You know the kind, they never correct their kids no matter what they do. At my last retail job (it was a Blockbuster) I had one woman come in with her 3 very young children (one in nothing but a diaper) and she and her girlfriends went off on their own and left the kids alone; the oldest one might have been 3. Predictably, they started grabbing dvd cases and throwing them all over the place. The she actually got indignant when the manager told her to control her kids or leave. I don't blame the kids for being bad because the mom obviously never reprimanded them for doing stuff like that. They'll never know unless you tell them.
I firmly believe that it's because of ignorant/neglectful/overindulgent/stupid parents that kids grow up to be brats (yeah, it's a pretty fine line to walk. If your kid does something bad/wrong (badwrong, or badong) correct them (reasonably, don't whip out the belt). That's the only way they know what's acceptable. If they're never punished for anything they'll turn out to be Angelica from Rugrats, and that's probably a best case scenario.
I have some various different reasons for disliking children. For one, as a woman, it pains me when women start talking about having kids as if it's the only thing they're good for. Trust me, there is nothing more awkward or annoying when, at 24, people ask me "Are you married? do you have kids?" and I say no because then I either get questions about why I don't or I get that look like "You're not getting any younger you know..."
Plus, I dread the thought of being pregnant. On top of the pain, discomfort, and general unpleasantries, people think that because you're pregnant you're a happy person who only wants to discuss babies and being a mom, because now that you ARE going to have a baby, that's all you're good for (That's not what I actually believe, it's just seems to be a prevading thought even in this day and age). Not to mention I'm a misanthrope to some extent and so the thought of people cooing over my baby belly, trying to touch it without permssion, and trying to tell me how to raise my child when I don't even know you, scares the ever loving hell out of me.
Then there's the actual child itself. Yes, they're cute and you love them and in the end it's worth it, but it comes with lots of hard work, sleepless nights, becoming extremely unselfish (which is something I am, selfish, not necessarily about money, but I like lots of time to be left alone to do what I like, with a baby/child that's difficult if not impossible to get), and the ability to do some AMAZINGLY disgusting things. At this point I have trouble cleaning the litter boxes, let alone opening up a diaper over 10 times a day. Not to mention they're LOUD! Not loud, LOUD! I'm a very quiet person, I don't like loud. Noise drives me crazy and I'd be worried I'd end up one of those mothers on the 9 o'clock news who "violently shook her baby to death!"
And finally, I...don't find kids all that cute. To me, they're cute for all of about...maybe an hour. And then I'm over it. They're just...annoying. They babble, they're disgusting, they have to be told repeatedly to do things, they break stuff, they have NO sense of personal space, and just lots of stuff I generally hate...and I get it, that's all part of being kids, they don't know this stuff, they're learning, and they have tiny attention spans, but I simply can't stand it. I tolerate it when visiting others and kids generally seem to love me, but the thought of waking up to that day after day for at LEAST 18 YEARS! makes me want to jump out of a window...from tapei 101...after it's been placed atop Mount Everest.

To quote this video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1tg46ScP8w] "Have you met children? They're a bunch of little psychopaths."
I suppose I should elaborate. They haven't learned to be nice rational people yet, so they aren't. And that scares me slightly. It reminds me how close everyone else is to deciding to start doing evil things for no reason. Like the Joker. Kinda. Never mind. Anyhow, they're uncivilized almost-people who would kill you sooner than look at you. Okay, maybe not, but they usually don't think rationally, either.

Children are mean and selfish. However, the truth is I don't hate children. I hate society's attitude to children. I fact, I just hate people and my disdain for children is merely an extention of a more general loathing.
I don't hate kids. In fact I do see them as amazing, in how they develop their personalities and learn things through trial and error on a day-to-day basis. Hell, it's very evident to me since I work in a preschool.
BUT.
I don't want any of my own. My reasons are a few, and simple. 1) I don't think I'll be a good dad. I think I'll be too selfish, as it is I'm already to wrapped up in my life and diminishing time and money to uphold responsibilities of a full-time job and married life. I know having a kid is like supposed to be a miracle and you're never going to worry about missing out on life again, but how long does that last really? I have no idea, so I'd rather not risk it.
2) I believe overpopulation to be a REAL problem, for everything in this world. Yesss, I know there are humanists and optimists who believe that there is more than enough for everybody, I agree with this, but that is a matter of people not being greedy and distributing accordingly (in a perfect world). But the chances of this happening are about as high as people suddenly not enjoying sex anymore. So, in my belief, I'd rather not contribute to this problem. You may say my concerns are misplaced, but hey, at least I'm going to try and stand by it. This may change some day, we are all dictated by chemical reactions after all, but as it stands, not kids for me.

Well i can say i always thought kids were there... crying, yelling, puking, crapping, peeing machines too, i didnt have the patience for them and i couldnt stand their crying.
Later on i didnt mind them as mutch and liked them aslong as i didnt have to take care of them but the main reason was because i was simply scared of doing a shitty job at it, thought i would make the kid cry or something and it wouldnt stop.
But yeah in a good relationship things really change, feeling wise that is.
i have way more patience now, and im not at all bothered by their crying or creaming anymore.
I guess you need that certain part in your life and certain person And feeling to want such ?

Well... I utterly despise kids for three reasons:
1: I was forced to spend 2 weeks as a practicant in a daycare and assist in taking care of about 15 snot-nosed, noisy, anoying, hyperenergetic, whiny, unreasonable, incomprehensible, stupid, disgusting womp-rats. I came out of that without the murder of said 15 children tagged to my name through a small miracle.
2: I spent one 3 hour flight with a kid behind me who would just Not Shut The FUCK UP! I swear if that flight would of been just 5 min longer Id have thrown that siren through the god-damend window.
3: Parents of kids who generally go out of their way to protect them and thus cracking down on anything they considder even remotley offensive, immoral or otherwise "harmfull" to the pure uncorrupted saintlike little devil-spawned slimy worm-like offspring.
All in all whenever I see a kid who look as if theyre 7ish or below I do my best to just not be anywhere near it. God damn do I hate kids...

Children can be a pain. They whine, cry, are rowdy and require a ton of patience. Most people, especially on here, who say they hate kids are still teenagers. Most teenagers don't have the necessary patience and nurturing skills that let adults like kids. Hell, I just recently got out of my "NO KIDS FOR ME EVAAARR" phase a month or so ago, and I'm almost 20 and hardwired with a biological clock that makes me fawn over cute little baby clothes and baby shoes. Thankfully my sister just had twins so it gets the baby bug out of me. Not even close to wanting to get pregnant right now.
yeah pretty much thisBloatedGuppy said:
I like kids..but I really dont like the Idea of being a parent..and of coarse the way society thinks if you dont produce spawn your a failure of a human being (inb4 the evolution people start saying thats true...just shut up)
I don't mind children and I am open to the possibility of them far in the future, but I also know that if I were to have one now, my life would essentially be over and I'd fuck it all up. Power to people who want them, but please do me a favour and teach them to not run around in stores, almost knocking me over? That gets old, rather quick.
In any case, I will leave you all with this sage wisdom which sums up my opinion (all credit to me, unless I heard it somewhere, in which case, all credit to whoever): Children are a lot like weddings. Fun when they aren't yours.

I think ive grown to resent the very Idea of having children because the angry feminist inside of me says "really? is THIS what we're suposed to do? suposed to want more than anything?...fuck that..." kind of like marrage
I know I kind of already said this, but I think people would start looking at you funny if you get to a certain age and dont have children (but marrage at 24? jesus Im feeling old now
)
I'm almost 30 and I've never felt a desire to have kids, not even for a minute. The thought of me raising kids feels more like a colossal punishment than anything else. It's not that I dislike kids, per se, but there's nothing about raising them that I find appealing, and that would also get in the way of my life's aspirations. Of course, for many people, having kids IS one of their main aspirations in life, so I can understand why people are put of by my point of view.
I'd love to be old some day and have family members to take care of me and have a great relationship like me and my mom, but not having that is something I'll just have to live with. I simply don't have any maternal instincts.
