Anyone else not like kids?

[Hound55]

I acknowledge the fact that I was a pain in the arse, but I don't regret one second of it...

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I think the kid haters just secretly regret how much of a pain in the ass they were at that age to other people.

Nah, all it takes is seeing a few rotten kids scream, cry, and throw food and remember the thankless job it is raising them for 18 long years and BAM the desire to have kids is gone.

 

[Hobgoblin]

hahahaha, I wasn't even thinking about that. Though now that you mentioned it, sounds kinda cool.

What I was getting at was that I have no problem hanging out with kids, coaching, mentoring, etc. but I don't want to raise children.

I've given it some research. Only 5% of men that want to donate are accepted. People are picky about the father of their children, I guess.

I've heard it said that the sound of a screaming child is legitimately ranked one of the most annoying sounds known to man. They may be right.

My daughter is now 4 years old...I love her to death...she is one of the best things that ever happened to me.

But I know not everyone is able to handle or in some case should be allowed to handle kids.

My advice to the ones who say they can't stand kids....make damn sure you do something about not having them. I hate to see kids come along and be treated bad by the idiot parents who didn't want them and did nothing to prevent it.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Good advice.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Then you have the parents who wanted kids but end up with rude ungrateful brats cursing at them.

That's always good for a laugh.

 

[Mace Dolex]

Kids are ok but some can get annoying especially when parents bring them into offices (doctor/school/postal service) and they don't know when to behave.

Then again I don't remember me as a kid being so disruptive to my parents so go figure.

 

[terry78]

Basically all the male kid haters should get vasectomies and the chicks should get their tubes tied. Bada bing, bada boom.

My parents were able to shut me up with just a look.

I once had a customer ask me to go discipline her child for me because he wouldnt listen to her. I did it, but I thought she was an awfully ineffective parent.

 

[danoyse]

I love kids. I don't have any, but I'm an aunt, godmother, and Star Wars resource to a small army of kids all under the age of 9.

Yeah, they can be loud and messy, but at this point I honestly can't imagine what life would be like without them, only that I would hate it if they weren't here.

It must be nice to be able to absolve yourself of all responsibility like that...

Agreed. Vasectomies are considered a "minor" surgical procedure and are reversable. Just remember, even with a vasectomy you should still use other methods of protection.

Early failure rates, i.e. pregnancy within a few months after vasectomy typically result from having unprotected intercourse too soon after the procedure. Late failure, i.e. pregnancy after recanalization of the vasa deferentia, has been documented but is very rare. A 2005 systematic review of 28 studies described a total of 183 failures or recanalizations from approximately 43,642 vasectomy patients (0.4%), and 20 studies in the same review described 60 pregnancies after 92,184 vasectomies (0.07%)

Tubal ligation or tubectomy (informally known as getting one's "tubes tied") is any one of 4 more serious surgical procedures. It is also reversable and other methods of protection must still be used as there is still a 1% chance of pregnancy.

Yes folks, not only do guys get an easier operation but it's actually more effective.

I don't like kids much. And I'm certain I wouldn't be happy if I had to raise one.

If I were top have a kid I should follow a special program before: I'd be given a plant for 6 months, if the plant survives I go to step 2. I'd be given a puppy for a year. If the puppy survives then, maybe, I could be allowed to have a kid of my own.

A plant is not a good test. Plants require a certain amount of light and seem to die in my house. It's not like you can take them out for a walk. My fish are doing fine but I don't have enough yard space for a dog.

Try babysitting kids old enough to complain first.

 

[muertevilla]

I used to be really awkward around kids till I became an uncle. I realized I'm still a kid and communication between us is not as hard a task as I thought. I have seen some really bad kids at shopping malls and grocery stores, but you can't hate the kids when the parents are to blame. To quote one of my favorite movies of all time:
"Who do you blame when your kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat
Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame
You know exactly who's to blame
The mother and the father."

Now you can hate me for getting this song stuck in your head for the rest of the day

The best way for this to happen is to make sure not to have sex
Condoms don't always work

you do know there are ways to have sex that don't involve having kids, right?

 

[terry78]

It can somewhat be entertaining if you still have that young mindset because the kid will view you as cool, but as soon as you have to reprimand them, that's when the crap starts.

Condoms and abstinence are just 2 of the many things that can be done to prevent getting pregnant.

 

[Raiden]

I have two and I really love both of them. The oldest kid does do things that would get my blood pressure rising sometimes, but I still love him very much. However, it's not easy being a parent, and I still want to improve on my parenting skills.

I never want to have kids. I get so tired of people telling me I'll change my mind when I'm 30

It may be ticking, but it won't be ticking towards "want to have a baby" time

It may be ticking, but it won't be ticking towards "want to have a baby" time

But, towards "Kill everyone"?
