Personally do you hate children/young kids?
Only while they're misbehaving. They're pretty nice otherwise (tired or asleep).
My nephews are wonderful when they are well behaved, but otherwise they are a headache.
I love seeing little kids that are sweet and well behaved in public. I give them sweet creepy-stranger smiles and pray their parents don't see and come after me with a pitch fork or hand bag ^_^
When they're loud, rude, and obnoxious (oh, about 65% of the time), I hate-hate-hate-HAAATE kids.
But when they're well behaved and nice, I love kids.
I loathe the young. Almost as much as my hatred for the old.
But really I can't see why anyone could like em. Their loud, obnoxious, unknowledgeable, smell, are obsessed with the systems of the body that deal with fecal matter, not to mention their dirty and constantly have some form of liquid excreting from some orifice of their body.
Yes, I hate them. I often times threaten to duck tape them to the roof if they start pissing me off.
I like kids. Except when they turn 12 and above and become brats.
Hate is such a strong word. I don't really care for kids. I don't want them and some kids really annoy me when they talk. Specifically little boys when you can't understand them. But no, I don't hate them, and I love my kid cousin, but most kids annoy the crap out of me.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that I hate them, but they do annoy the crap out of me sometimes.
Nothing worse than stupid twelve year olds that think that they are the be-all-end-all of video gaming.
Otherwise, I ignore them and answer questions liberally. So, my patience is pretty long for them to piss me off.
No no nooo.
I love kids. Adore them. I want a huge family of my own.
I want to kill them, then eat them, then vomit them up and eat the vomit so I have eaten them twice and really emphasized my hatred through disgusting imagery.
No, really, kids and I just don't click at all. We hate each other, so it's a nice mutal understanding.
I hope people who have a disliking for kids never have kids.
I like kids. :D
Better a kid hater then a pedophile.
I dont mind kids but then again im not around them that often anyway.
You sir are quite lucky. I on the other hand always garnish their attention like some sort of Santa Clause meets Barnie freak of nature, despite my apparent wish for their absolute destruction.Quote:

and i guess, since then, i've been toying with the idea of having a family of my own one day. i think i've met the right person who would really support me and take care of me and the family, so i really wouldn't mind starting one. not now, of course, as i'm just 19 years old. maybe in a couple of years. i wouldn't want kids too late though.
i'm just so afraid that i'm going to be an awful parent, kind of like my parents were to me, but i'm hoping i can learn from their mistakes and move on.
I love kids! Even when they're misbehaving and being rude. Even if they throw things in my face. I like guiding them and caring for them and do lame magic tricks for them and let them eat all my cakes and biscuits that I make <3
I'm not that fond of babies but once they can walk I'm cool xD I like my niece who's like 16 months but she's chill :p I'm sure it will be different if I have kids.
I've always sorta had it ingrained in my from my family that I'm going to have kids. If my wife really didn't wanna then I'd be fine with it.
They can be cute and I don't mind if they are loud (not crying) but when they start making a mess that I have to clean up I feel like punching holes in the walls and head butting people :{
I like kids. I'm pretty good with them, even under circumstances when other people find them overwhelmingly annoying or nasty or whatever.
For the most part, they like me too.
Hooray for children! I wish I could be 10 again.
I only like children when they're infants, but when they start talking proficiently is when I want to smack them. Oh young child, I miss the days when you were nearly mute.
I don't like irrational people. Kids count.
Also, babies freak me out.
My feelings are mixed. I think I mostly hate parents.
nah not really they are kinda annoying at most times.
Not really. But there some teens in my neighbourhood I don't like. They're really annoying me. But they're the only teens I don't like.
I always try to remember I was a child/teen too. :p
I say we keep them.
I hate kid's to the utmost degree...and yes I realise I was once a kid and that is the EXACT reason why. I was an unbearable child whilst growing up.
Babies are cute. Then they learn how to talk and it goes downhill from there.
I think it's worse when they can't talk. Cus then they scream when they need you to feed them or change their diaper when you're asleep at 3 in the morning. Yeah they're cute, but they're also annoying and a pain in the butt.Quote:

Only if they're disrespectful, obnoxious, spoilt or misbehaving. Other than that kids can be very cute.
EDIT: But as Shlup said, parents are probably to blame if their kids are either one of those negative things mentioned up there.
my friends little sister and her friends were putting make up on my clothes and it's like "dude! discipline your sis because i am not allowed to" and he wouldn't so i was all covered in lipstick and stuff.
kids just dont seem to respect my authority in general actually.,
Certain ones, yes.
Most of the people on this forum are kind of, if I must be blunt, you know... young. kiddish. Ya'll are mostly kids if you're under 18. Or 20.
That doesn't make us instantly annoying though, Captain Stereotype. :bigsmile:
lol.Quote:

After all, most things that I get called on for stereotyping are first-hand experiences with individual groups of people.
And I know kids damn well. I was one for many many years.
I hate every single kid and baby in the world outside of my family
so why not be a grown up and get off a video game message board?
I try not to have a problem with them, though at times I wish I could intervene on those misbehaving in their parents' company in public, a line I'll only normally cross if what they're doing affects me directly (like once when I was having my hair cut and this dumbass was trying to sweep up and nearly poked me in the eye with the broomhandle; I snapped at him to stop and his mother unexpectedly sided with me!) but otherwise it can sometimes be funny to watch them flap around in a tantrum because there's bugger all they can do.
Ah yes, kids are funny.
Being a grown up sucks.Quote:

And it isn't really so annoying online. I like hearing about your thoughts and opinions on things. It's good not to have to try and control anything.
Personally I only hate kids when they're annoying, loud, disrespectful, uncivilized, and whiny.
It suprises me how much of you like kids (especially the ones that I expected to be children haters).
Everyone's annoying. You're annoying, I'm annoying, she's annoying, he's annoying. It's especially annoying to think that, just because you're older, you're less annoying. Mmmm...taste the irony.Quote:

Anticipating it wrong can be hurtful. Assumptions are pointless in a diverse world. I live my life without them, or with as little as possible, and I have yet to have any confrontations due to it.
Also, you can't "know kids", or anybody for that matter. You are aware that humans aren't all exactly the same right?
Yeah. You're exactly right on all accounts.Quote:

Stereoptypes are simply an idea that helps me anticipate something. If my stereotype fails, then I'm in no worse shape than if I hadn't stereotyped at all. I'm not such a whacko that I'm surprised if my stereotype is wrong.
But also, stereotypes wouldn't exist except for the fact that the odds are in their favor. The fact that all people are different has little bearing unless you're looking to form a relationship with somebody.
I can't "know" kids, but I can sure as heck "roughly catagorize" teenagers, preteens, preschoolers, college students, etc.
You're right, though, that things get very difficult around other people my age. If I understood such things, I'd be rich. When I understand it, I'll be too busy being 30.
Kids can be alright. Until they decide that they're going to be loud, obnoxious and violent. Especially violent. But yeah, I think they're great. =]
Ah, my apologies. I misunderstood your initial post.
I was assuming (lol) that you were saying you would act differently depending on your stereotype, which could offend someone if it went wrong. But, no, I get you now.
And good point.
Kids can the spawn of Satan at times, but they're great to have around other times. :]

That's what she wants you to think.
The fact that anyone would want me to think at all is disturbing.
Exactly my point.
I do not want to eat children. ;D
Kids drive me mad if I've just woken up. I worked in a Nursery for some care experience in December and man, at 8.30am they drive you nuts because they're so full of energy and screaming and arghhhh. :jess:
Why not just give them knives and tell them to go play tag?
As long as they aren't total little brats me and kids get along pretty swimmingly.
I despise young kids who are always rude and loud, but when they are asleep or being quiet (Although very rare) they're ok I guess, still a little annoying.
If I ever have kids, I'll probably be one of them evil fathers that discipline really heavily
Yeah, kids are small vessels of energy. Some years ago I was a trainee at a kindergarten, and man.. kids can be a big handful. Although it's super-fun to play with them outside in the playground, it just gets tiring that they're all very attention seeking. You really have to concentrate all of the time. It can be fun, but also quite stressful.Quote:

I can't really say that I do, considering I'm not even completely out of my child-hood yet. However, I wouldn't go as far as to say that someone around the age of, say, 8, is someone to be hated just due to their age and inexperience. They're just not someone I'm going to hang out with, because they're at a stage of development besides my own, so I'd probably feel as though I'm baby-sitting them. It seems like the only ages that are really compatible are the ones above 25, because everyone above that age thinks they're old.
Kids rule. The only thing I have found that I really can't stand is them going around and picking everything up...but I blame the parents for that one. Look with your eyes and not with your hands.
Screaming, running around and asking trillions of retarded questions do not bug me in the slightest.
Kids are never annoying and babies are even less! :( They're innocent little cute angels! ^^ Everytime I see a kid on the street I hug my bf and say 'OMG that kid is soooooooooooooooo cute'! So for me kids are never annoying! :D They just get annoying when they're 10 :(
Yeah, for some reason this post scares the living hell out of me.Quote:

such extremes the young have...TOO MUCH ENERGY...and lack of care for anything, the masters of annoyance, id rather not have to deal with a child if i can help it(until i have my own) but thats what my wife will be for. and honestly, old people are worse than kids -.- its like once you hit a certain age you become uber pissed and strict and always bitch people out for nothing, complete rudeness sets in as you become the idol of all who love to be asses
I know i should be too.. but for some reason i dont :pQuote:

I used to hate even the idea of children, but sometimes when I'm not looking my maternal instincts kick in and I rub my stomach with anticipation.
Suppress that urge! You have free will! Fight the power!Quote:

You hate them because they were misbehaving? That's a bit hypocritical if you ask me, because I'm sure you have been badly behaving in your childhood at least once or more.
You've already got a GF, Aerith.Quote:

Think of all the errands and assistance they may provide when you're too old and feeble to do any of it yourself. Not to mention that a lot of old people tend to fight depression caused by lonliness - and having obligatory family gathering and just family in general tends to remove some of that.
As long as I don't have to give birth to one.

Just send the little buggers to Mad Mod's School for Misbehavin' Children. I'll straigten'em out... the ol' British way.
Looks like I'm putting on my steel-toed boots again...Quote:

Nothing hypocritical about it. I mean if I met myself as a baby, I can admit I'd want to smack me around.Quote:

Kids are the best kind of people. I want four so I can start a family band, like people used to do in the '70's. there aren't any right now. It's an untapped market.
None of you steal my idea. :mad2:
That's true foa, but they also sold pet rocks in the 70s...there's a reason some things go out of style.
I absolutely love kids. I hear they go well with soy sauce.
Depends on if their parents know how to raise kids or not, I like kids but if they're little jerks then they can just get eatted by a lion. >:[
