Anyone else not like kids?

[Hobgoblin]

Am I the only one that finds the idea of raising children to be mind numbing? Stop every and all plans that you have an focus on an ungrateful, screaming brat for at least 18 years. I'd rather have an interesting conversation with my wife (if I had one) instead of hearing how "Timmy had a new toy and he wouldnt give it to me and...and...and...and...I got mad and..."

So join me, kid haters! And enjoy this finding that claims childless people are less depressed than parents.

I don't hate kids, but I'm not sure if I want to have any. I stress out easily and would be super paranoid all the time when they're still an infant. I wouldn't be able to sleep, and I just don't know how people do it.

 

[Mace Bloodstone]

I use to think that, but I ended up taking care of my friend's baby for over a year and a half.. It really changed me.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

You can still discipline them properly

 

[hopefuldreamer]

I think it depends. Some kids bore the pants off me (like little girls that won't shut up about horsies, or little boys that babble on about liverpool being their favourite football team because jimmy in their class says they are the coolest), but it is possible to mold kids into something you can enjoy.

For example, for the last few months i've been living with my big sister, who has 2 boys (6 and 9). I got each of them, and myself a lightsaber for christmas, and i've created my own army of jedi warriors to play with

Also, they enjoy watching cartoons with me, they wanna read my comics, they think my superman figurines are really really cool. We can argue about which superhero is the coolest (my personal favourite ).

And I think if you have your own kid, then they are even more like you. They will even adopt certain phrases that you use. You just have to pay them enough attention to get them to a stage of being actually really fun.

And not all kids are ungrateful screaming brats. All kids are at one point or another, but with the right parenting kids can be generous, thoughtful and sweet... and incredibly loving and grateful.

I don't really have an interest in raising children. I know I'll sound like an old maid (Whats the male version of that? an old butler?) but I would rather have a kitty.

They will change your life.

 

[doih]

I like kids. I just don't want to raise them.

Unfortunately, because so many people have similar thoughts the demographic challenges aren't going to get any better.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

They will change your life.

[SWAT]

It seems everyone I know who has a vagina is either pregnant or has a baby.
I've got mixed feelings about it, a part of me would like to have a kid, while the other doesn't really see the point.
And seeing where I am in my life right now, I don't see myself having a child anytime soon. Unless it's a mistake or a horrible science project gone wrong.

 

[Gamma Ray]

I don't like other peoples kids.

 

[redmarvel]

Wow, I'm amazed you haven't been flamed for this Hobgoblin.

Remember, most of us were kids at some point (and I'm sure some Hypesters still are).

I have always liked kids.

Spoiler

Having my own son didn't change that. He is the best thing in my life. Yes, there are times when he makes my life difficult.

However, the pluses far outweigh the negatives. You don't have to "stop any and all plans". You may have to adjust some of them, it depends on what your plans are and what your financial situation is. If you can afford that trip to Europe for 2, it can easily be changed to 3 and planned for the 2 months in the summer when your kid isn't in school. You like skiing, guess what, some kids can ski as young as 5 years old and do it well.

Yes, there are days when any kid can be a whiney, screaming banshee. However, there are days when you feel like hell and your kid can say the nicest things to you and make you feel better. I'll take a whiney, screaming kid any day over an abusive, screaming, irresponsible adult.

Wilhelm calls them "life noobs". Hehe.

See thats tht thing. I'm nothing like my parents. Just because you are family with someone, doesnt mean that you are related, if that makes sense.

I like kids. I just don't want to raise them.

That's the thing. Part of me wants to have kids, I just dont want to raise them. Being a sperm donar actually sounds pretty good.

 

[MadVillainy]

I love kids. Of course there ones that I dont like, but I like kids alot. Im only 18 but I cant wait until I have kids of my own

 

[Angry Monkey]

I'm a female that has NO maternal instinct.

I don't want children, I never wanted to have children and never will want to have children.

I can't stand babies and children.

I think babies are ugly and annoying

Children are too clingy and bratty.

My sister moved in after she had her baby all he did was cry and set in stone my decision to NEVER have children!

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I still think that the bad outweigh's the good.

 

[Venom75]

Kids and old people. Nope,don't really like either of em'.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

I like that idea of having a kid someday, but right now. I hate the idea of raising a teenager more than anything.

 

[Angry Monkey]

What's wrong with old people?

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

Raising kids is not for everyone. I have 3 but I always wanted kids.

"Kids don't know ****."
-Peyton Manning

Kids are cool if they're well behaved and do what they're told. Either way, I don't think I have the patience to raise, protect, and aid a person for the rest of my life.

 

[BestGirl]

Kids are okay in small doses, especially when they're well-behaved. I'm sure it's easier to be around them all the time when they're your kids, though.

 

[Hobgoblin]

I like that idea of having a kid someday, but right now. I hate the idea of raising a teenager more than anything.

I remember as a kid saying that I would probably adopt a kid as an adult. Then I thought some more and said maybe adopt a teenager. Then I thought maybe a 20 year old but then realized that they would be too old to adopt by then.
