I don't like them, and when people pull the "OHH SO YOU HATED YOURSELF HMMM??" card I just say that in hindsight my stupid behavior and decisions aren't something I would now tolerate.

I'm perfectly all right with kids. While they can be aggravating, when raised right they can be pretty fun to have around.

Doesn't mean I'd enjoy spending more than a few hours with one. A man has his limits.

I find a majority of children likable enough, so long as I don't live with them. As it is, the only reasons I haven't snapped and killed the seven-year-old I do live with is because my mother and her boyfriend (the little monster's father) would hate me for the rest of eternity and society demands that children be protected.

I think it's questionable to say one of the reaons you don't want kids is because of the world population. but if you dont one them there isnt anything wrong with it.

Personally i want to have kids at some poin, though a bit in the future, i want to experience the world a bit, go bungie-jumping , quad bike over the kalahari desrt that sort of thing.

would love kids of my own though.

Children? Yeah, they're all right with a little BBQ sauce. Okay, okay, no more cannibalism jokes, no matter how tasty the runts may be...

I guess I'm supposed to be at an age where I no longer find the thought of having children horrible, but I never really outgrew that. I detest children, I truly do. They aren't precious, beautiful little angels. That's just a bunch of dopamine coupled to your instinct to protect your spawn telling you so. They scream, they yell, they destroy, they fight, they are needy, they expect praise when none is warranted, they interrupt you, etc.
Plus raising a child would cost about $500,000 total, so it's a horrible investment. Would you throw half a million at a pile of flesh that will grow to resent you? Keep the money, find some fulfilling job/hobby, life happily ever after. Alternatively, VEGAS! It's not like humanity is in danger of dying out, right?

How do I find my away around children? I stand anywhere a child isn't! HA!
But seriously, I think children are idiots. Some of them can be nice, friendly, little idiots but idiots.

I am not a big fan of the little ones. What I find amusing is that I've noticed whenever people talk about their kids, it's always stuff like "Little Billy shaved the cat again today" or "Sue ate her art project this morning"; never "Johnny got straight A's!" or "Look at the beautiful drawing Lori made for me!". Then they tell you how wonderful their children are and how glad they are to have them. Then why are there NEVER any happy stories? Sounds like they're trying to convince themselves just as much as me.

And you.

Thank you for putting into words things that I wanted to say in my original post but decided against.

They can be fucking annoying, but then extremely gratifying.

Also, I hate the jokes they come up with. I hate them so much...

Don't like them. As long as they keep out of view and audible range of me, I'm fine with them, however.

That said, I have no (at least current) wish, desire, nor plan to ever, ever have any myself. I find the world to be vastly overpopulated and every single new child contributes to the problem.

Thus, I say this to all who want children; If you get one child to replace two parents, respect. If you adopt to give an orphan a home, respect. If you do both, also respect. But go about getting three new (biological, of course. Adopting is not counted) kids or more, and you end up on my passive hate-list. <<

It depends on the kids, honestly. As a former summer camp counselor I've worked with all kinds of kids; from the kind who would be a lot of fun to talk to to the kind who'd poop right outside the cabin door in the hopes I'd step in it.

Anywhere between knowing how to communicate beyond crying and thinking being edgy is cool is fine with me (so between 3 and 11 about). My mom was a day care provider so i have plenty of exposer to all types of children, and I'm fine with most of them.

My cousin and her two children ages 8 and 6 visited last weekend and they proved my point of why I dislike children. The 8 year old kept asking me if he could play my video games or talk to my friends that I talk to over X-box live. He would not leave me alone. The 6 year old left me alone which I am grateful for. She mainly talked to my sister.

damn, where the fuck do you live? im not shy about stating how much i hate kids, and most people i know feel pretty similar. the only one of those responses i have gotten before was some variation of "how can you hate kids, you used to be a kid." that argument always throws me off because of the sheer stupidity of that statement. a long time ago, i used to be a republican. does that make me ineligible to dislike the views and behaviors of modern republicans
