After 3 years at a Toys R Us I walked away with one thing burned into my brain eternally.
You don't hate the child, you hate the parent(s).
i hate most kids, especially babies, they just annoy me, but once they get older i guess having a kid would be alright.
i used to hate kids then i had one. i wouldnt trade my daughter, whi will be 13 this year, or the experience for nothin in the world.
i dont like kids that are raised by a pussy ass father that doesn't hardly ever raise his voice or give the kid a spanking when he needs it. YOU HAVE TO SPANK YOUR KIDS!!! my mom has never disiplined my little brother and his dad is a little bitch that i want to beat the living shit out of, but when i babysit and he starts acting like he should get everything he wants and throws a tantrum, i spank his ass. he doesnt ever throw tantrums with me anymore but right when mommy gets home he is yelling at the top of his lungs at everyone and everything
I used to babysit before I got a real job, and I hated kids the first time I babysat them, but after a few times of taking care of them, I grew to dig the little kids.
I'm not one for obnoxious kids (or obnoxious people in general) so I usually get a really short temper with them, but all of the people I know that have kids will say that you change alot when you have kids. My mom has always told me that having kids was the best thing she's ever done.
its not that kids are brats ....
do you know how much kids cost????
lets get a couple parents in here to spit out a couple numbers on what they spend on their kids
i dont think i could do it.... i am 20 and i know i am not ready
props to all the parents out there i dont doubt its hard i gave my parents hell but i did respect them... they whipped the shit out of me and to be honest i am glad they did
I'm only 19 (20 tomorrow :D) but I'm already pissed off by kids under 15.
Some of them are cool, but a lot I'd just want to punch in the face.
I'd say it all depends on the parents. Good parents have cool kids.
well letd start off with x-mas: between $400- $600, and i know people who use that jst to stuff stockings
b-days: $500 + cake, icecream, them little goody bags for the other kids with things like squir guns, candy, and assorted little chea toys
baby sitters: $20 + a day, sometimes you get lucky and can get gandma to watch the kids for a night out
infants: $8 for a pack of diapers, $.50 x 4 for babyfood, $2 x6 for formula now multiply all that by 7 (this is also from when my daughter was a baby 13 years ago)
now this is just a small part but it gives you an idea, now factor in doctor vistits, transportation, school, etc. etc.
also me and my wife are divoced and i have to pay child support. to the tune of approx. $300 a month, and i got off easy on it. multiply that by 12 andi been payin since my daughter was 5 so thats $300x12x13.
i couldhave bought and paid for a new ferrari forthe cost of a kid. but i wouldnt have the car over her so in my opnion it was worth every penny
I hate kids too.... and you know what I hate as well? mothers at work who think they need to TALK about their kids all damn day. It's like I don't give a F about what your kids do, that includes all school activities they have done well in, or any upcoming projects lol
True dat,My Mom has been a school teacher from before I was born,We got this new school that opened up in a new suburb built in our city recently.The school is like those on the mainland,Air conditioned and nice,you have to live in the suburb to go to school there,my Mom told me she aint teaching there ever again,those kids are spoiled brats Hardout!Quote:

When I have kids they are rarely gonna get shit and are gonna have to work for everything so they will appreciate things in life

We all start out as kids; that's when we are learning. Who we grow up to be is influenced by everything that happens during our childhood. I sincerely hope that you are never any part of a child's life. We don't want the future generations to grow up with hate in their hearts. :hippy:Quote:

I was even there for my friends nephew sayin his first word, it was "mummy" and it occured when my friend upset the poor little guy.
I was listening to music and resting outside a supermarket last year and there was a two or three year old hanging out the window of a car. I didn't know why but she was drumming against the side of the car, then I realised it was because I was drumming to the music(I really can't help it)...it was really cool and made me feel good.
Anyway I couldn't hate kids, theres something about that innocence they all have thats great, but that's just the side i've experienced...not really been around when a kid is crying or misbehaving etc...ugh, I started writing and now I don't now how to end this post...

"END"
To the young guys: I'm older than most here and have nothing to gain by lying to you. Not having kids was the smartest thing I ever did. Don't listen to these duds tell you about how wonderful being a father is. They're bullshitting you. Over half of then are either divorced, separated, or on the way out the door to face years of alimony and child-support payments to the mother, who usually has all the rights. Even some of the guys right here on this thread have been divorced and lost custody since they posted how wonderful fatherhood is last year. You've got to be tough. Don't get yourself bamboozled into having children by girlfriends or wives, because it's the biggest mistake you'll probably ever make. Get your own place and learn to live independently and, if you have patience and try, you'll meet a woman that won't want them either. They are the best type because they love you for yourself, not your ability to support a brood of obnoxious sprogs.
Remember the old saying, "Misery loves company", when guys tell you how wonderful being a father is. It's total hogwash.
Don't believe it. You will be saddled with incredible responsibilities, with few rights. Basically, the modern father is just a beast of burden. If that's what you want, go ahead and have them, but don't say you weren't warned.
If the system was different, it wouldn't be as bad - but right now it sucks: BIG TIME.
I am trim and healthy, feel no more than about 30 years old, and retired at 53 years old with financial security. This is because I DID NOT HAVE KIDS!
I'm a young woman (22) who knows I never want children. I don't hate kids at all, I just never want any of my own. I have nephews I love and I like my friend's children also. I am with a partner who feels the same way I do. We don't feel like children are a necessary part of a healthy relationship/marriage.
I swear to goodness though people just don't want to accept the fact that there are those out there who just don't want kids, period. Not everyone is going to "change their mind". I hate being told "oh it's different when you have one of your own, you'll see!". It's so damn condescending and presumptuous. I respect others choice to have children, so I expect the same respect in my choice not to.
1 more thing, to finish off this mini-rant, my LEAST favorite comment is being told that you're not a whole, complete woman until you give birth, most often heard from older women. I don't think people really understand how insulting that idea/way of thinking is.
live and let live, damn.
/rant, phew, thats out of my system
Another very insulting thing is when childfree women decide to have a hysterectomy, for whatever reason, and people say, "I'm so sorry!" becuse they think that she is becoming less of a woman due of the inability to breed. This happened to my wife, and she told them immediatly that there's nothing to be "sorry" about, and she was never interested in being a parent in her entire life.

I understand why they say what they do, but I also know and understand that them saying it is completely off-base and unfounded, made solely on personal anecdotal evidence. Being in the minority of a group does not mean you are less a part of that group.Quote:

When I ask them if they feel the same way about women who adopt because they can't have children, they usually can't answer me, which leads me to note that they haven't thought out their beliefs too well.
Comments that try to undermine someones sense of their gender and femininity are ALWAYS uncalled for and I don't feel like there's any place for them, I'm sorry.
