yes, i do. not babies, babies are cool, but kids ages 2-10. they piss me off... a lot. anyone else share this feeling?
used to, but not anymore, i'm a father now, and of a 2 year old son... i love him more than anything (have his entire life, and even the 9 months before his birth) but i have a new appreciation of it now.... i'm guessing you're not a parent, but i can almost garuntee if you had a kid, your view on it all would change instantly... unless you're a parent, most people only see the bad side of it, the whining and crying, they don't see the moments that can make a grown 'sturdy' man cry just in awe and joy, that that's what you created... if anything, i'd 'hate' babies before toddlers-children.. because babies don't do much... when a kid gets to be about 2, they start to actually do stuff, and start to amaze you at what they learn...
Let me explain the meaning of life to you.....Quote:

I agree with what everyone else said, your feelings on children will most likely change when (if) you have your own. Having a child is a wonderful thing, more awesome than I can really put into words. Hopefully you will get to experience it yourself someday, because as of right now, you obviously don't know what you'd be missing. :)
na i like kids i have one of my own and hes a little angel nothing wrong with kids
i hate babies too, in fact, i hate kids 2-10 as well and....well...i pretty much hate all kids, all ages.
which is why im getting a vasectomy, so im never stuck with one.
if i ever do want a kid, i'll adopt a 5-6 year-old so i dont have to go through all of that whining, crying, waking up every 20 minutes etc etc etc and still be able to teach them w/e and influence their outlook at the world
nah, i don't hate kids...
it's what their self-righteous, lily-livered, over-protective parents turn them into that i despise. those idiots who try to enhance their children's self-esteem by making them the center of everyone else's universe should take a good look at what they are creating. the battle-cry "it's for the children" is so overused that it is soon to become completely meaningless (hopefully).
as a charter member of DAMM (drunks against mad mothers), i hereby call for the retroactive sterilization of these "parents by default".
i know what you mean, its like a damn battle cry.Quote:

I've seen the effects of those parents you speak of- at our college registration, I have actually seen parents accompany their kids- not freshmen, mind you! The poor kids hang back like idiots while mommy does everything for them, and then we wonder why they have trouble growing up!Quote:

It doesn't help kids to do everything for them obviously, since then they just turn into helpless 20 year old babies. The parents that call their child's college professor and ask that they be given better grades since "She/he tried so hard" should be sent to parenting class like drivers sentenced to traffic class!
It's not the kids that bug me... it's that damned sense of entitlement their yuppie fucking BMW driving loafer wearing asshole parents drill into them from the time they are born... snobbery as a parenting technique... I work at a college too, and I also have worked at a bunch of local restaurants in our lovely multi-college, multi prep school little cute (barf) happy valley. You haven't lived until you've had a fucking 15 year old Deerfield Academy asshole talk down to you because you're dressed up in a kimono spilling salad dressing on his expensive loafers. I blame daddy.
lol!! I can only hope that 15 year old ends up in one of my philosophy classes- call me wicked but that could be fun! As for his dad, he's probably an impotent drunk - :rastasmoke:Quote:

personal-responsibility, work-ethic
things of the pastentitlement, elitism
welcome to the brave new world
i don't know nothing about no deerfly academy, but i do see that it's not just the rich that are raising spoiled rodents. we seem to be raising an entire generation of these creatures.
with no conscience and an over-inflated sense of self-worth, they march off into the future.
*tromp tromp tromp*
off they go!
IF you want a great read... 'amusing ourselves to death'... forgot the author... but an interesting look at the responsibility that a media that makes education more a form of entertainment than work you must do to become a productive member of society must take for making these kids think like that. Wow that was a horrible sentence. Soooorry.... =p
can't blame the media, can't blame society, can't even blame the schoolsQuote:

i got a 2 year old a 9 year old and a 10 year old
and im only 29
my house is noisy
if i wasnt a parent i would not be around kids
they are weird and do stupid shit
but as a parent you can appreciate it cuz they are learning
but as a non parent it would be like hell
like yesterday the 10 and 9 year old were playing monopoly
they were all into it and my two year old woke up and socked
the ten year old ,bit the 9 year old and over turned there game
and threw them out the room.then she calls back the 10 year old
to put on bambi and bring some juice... shes a lil shot caller already
and she wont accept any bills lower than 20's she hates dollars and fives
Wow, you say shes a little shot caller already - are you actually giving a two year old money? :confused:Quote:

hey liberiamom
i dont give her money but she does take my wallet
and when the ice cream man passes by i get taxed
for all the people who are serious about hating kids
please use birth control
too many parents have kids they dont really want
and they end up turning into human waste
bong30 i just read what you put right at the top and u are so right god did make babies so cute so u wont kill them lol i did have to laugh. but to the person who made this thread how on earth can u say u hate kids 2-10 where did u get you age's from all kids are great yeah fair enough they can be little sods at time but at the end of the day thats just kids for ya my daughter could do any thing and i would still love her she is my little princess and any one that says they hate kids is either gone in the head or just plain weird thats my opinion i would not trade a single day that i have had so far with my lil girl. and yeah i do blame some parents for the way they bring up there kids im bringing mine up to respect every one untill they dnt deserve it i cant stand snotty nose parents who think it is there god given right to look down there nose at every one they should be shot lol any way i think ive gone on enough now laters all
spoiled brats, i DO hate... those kids who will make everyone's life living hell if they don't get their daily candy bar... or throw a temper-tantrum when they don't get to watch their cartooons all fucking day.... those kids, i can't stand... those kids need a heavy dose of reality and learn the world doesn't revolve around them... but no you can't blame the kids.. the kids only know what was taught to them, and it's almost exclusively the parents fault... these parents who can't/won't deal with the crying, and give their kids everything they want, just so they won't cry, those are who are to really blame.... i was one of those kids.. but only now that i'm older, do i realize the world doesn't work that way, and only now do i realize what a little spoiled ass fucking brat i really was.. kids will learn what you teach them, that's why you have to teach them early, that everything doesn't always go their way, and to live with it and move on... these parents who try so hard to be their kids best friend... maybe they just dont' realize what they're really doing to the kid...
my kid does things i just can't stand (can't describe it, it's something you'd just have to hear) but crying i can deal with... i mean you can scream/cry all you want... that doesn't mean you're going to get your way... that's what parents need to teach their kids early.. don't get me wrong, i'm not neglectful... but i'm not gonna say, let my son climb up on everything, or play with the shiney knives sitting on a table just because he wants to scream and cry when i won't let him... i'm just glad i came out the way i did... the way i was raised i coulda been one of those snobby-ass bitches that thinks they're all high and mighty and better then everyone else... if i grew up that way, i probably wouldn't have cared, but i grew up how i am, and i am THANKFUL i didn't grow up the other way.
hating anything is just a waste of life man, somethings through out your life you'll have problems with, you learn to deal with these problems ,and life goes on . Later man ,take it easy.

Shit, even a rat can learn that if it pushes the right button it'll get a treat. The worst parents are the ones who initially teach them that crying gets them the reward but then punish, or hit, them later on for doing the same thing. It's no wonder so many kids are fucked up.Quote:

Bottom line, being a good parent isn't easy, but then nothing truly worthwhile ever is.
I hope all of you who don't like children don't ever have unprotected sex and end up getting pregnant or getting someone pregnant.
I have two beautiful children, my 5 yr old son, who love him very much. But my GOD, whoever mentioned adopting at 5 or 6 yr old, you might want to read up on your Gentle Discipline starting now. He's a very bright child, but has like NO short term memory
"Please don't touch the nintendo unless mommy says you can"
and I turn around he's trying to shove the cartridge even deeper into the machine. *rollseyes*
I also have a 15 (almost 16) month old daughter, who still doesn't sleep through the night. Yes, it's difficult, and I would really love to get a full nights sleep every night. But when she looks at me with thoes deep baby brown eyes, I melt. And her wet little kisses are just heavenly.
I have given birth twice, the first one was not easy, but mercifully only 9 hours. My second birth was all of 28 minutes from the first contraction to her actual birth. My husband caught her. Yes, she was born at home (planned). I did not ask to be medicated for either birth.
I love my children dearly, and I adore newborns. Being a mother of a newborn you don't really realize how little sleep you've gotten. Especially if your breastfeeding and cosleeping with your warm little bundle. My daughter nursed every 1.5 - 2 hours around the clock for the first 8 months of her life, and I never felt sleep deprived unless we had another night time issue, like teething, or illness. And of course, they're just so darn cute!
Hi Ibu Jari- Wow, you've got a lot to handle, but it also sounds wonderful! I am sure I am going to have to learn a new level of patience. I have to use "Gentle Discipline" (is there a book on that I could read???) a bit when I teach knuckleheaded college kids, but I guess at 5 or 6 it can be a real challenge! I have already learned about this thing called the "Liberian Pout" which is something many of the kids adopted from there use when they are disciplined- and I have been told that the best way with kids from that culture is not time-outs but rather to take away a toy for misbehavior. Another interesting cultural thing is that many of the children there are prone to lying, and it isn't as frowned upon there as it is here, so that will be a new thing for them to learn.Quote:

Oh there are hundereds of books you can read on Gentle Discipline, I will get a list together and PM you ;)
i dislike children also, i have 15 or 16 nieces and nephews and really, I'm over it. I use birth control and condoms so that I don't become pregnant, and if I did I would terminate the pregnancy. I do not think I will ever have children. If I do, I'd have to get everything I want done first. I would need to be in a marriage for quite awhile, have my career in line (an economist probably) and have already traveled and partied and had my fun. Even as a little girl I didn't want children. I just don't think I would be a good parent because I have a hard time with giving love. Which also leads to me not getting married because I have a hard time giving/recieving love and affection. Its not that I dont think I deserve it, I am happy but Its just tough for me. I'm still young though, im only 20 so I have many child-bearing years left. I dunno, i just see a lot of children being raised the wrong way and Im not patient n dont wanna screw up a life of a child. I also have seen both my sisters and my mom go through divorces and I have not been in a serious relationship ever even though I am almost out of college. I think there is something wrong with me. I have been mistreated by many men but I am not solely blaming them in most cases, so I dont think I could have what I need to bring a child into the world, although I worked in the KIDS section of a store and baby clothes are DAMN cute :D
Now that I have kids my life has a higher purpose. I think it's a natural evolutionary thing. I will be gone, sometime soon, tomorrow or in 80 years but they will be my legacy. all the love that i can give them, they can carry on spreading love when i'm gone.
I never felt this sense of purpose before I had them.
Yes, that is part of the reason I want children, because I do not feel as if I will have learned and evolved enough if I do not have that experience! I feel unfinished-Quote:

I think having kids at an early age might physically be easier, but damn- you have to be awfully mature to do it well, and not feel resentful that the kids are "stealing your youth"- I say sow all those wild oats, but don't be surprized if in 10 or 15 years you do complete reversal :)
When I can have a sig, that's so going there!Quote:

I love them so much it hurt. But it's a good pain. My heart aches with joy to see them learn and grow.
My son was born at 9:53 PM, on 9-24-2001, and ever since that moment, my heart has lived outside of my body. I wouldn't trade my children for the world. Not for the best parties, more money, a better house, better car, more "fun party life' no way. No how. They are my pride, they are my joy.
Basically I guess what I'm saying is never say never, and keep your mind open.
The ironic thing is that many intelligent people do not have kids. The societies that have the least children have the highest standard of living and are usually very charitable to other countries that need help - due to poverty.Quote:
