Now, I do like my sister's kids but I don't like random little kids at the mall or while I am getting groceries. I also don't want to him about someone's little snot nosed brat unless said kid was just born. Then I can temporarily put off my hatred for them until about age two when they start to become annoying.

I think the blame for kids acting like little pretentious asswipes is the Parent's that use the TV or computer to babysit them and refuse to make their kids take responsibility. Other than that I don't really have a problem with kids. As long at they stay out of my personal space they are ok. I can't, however, stand for people to tell me stories about their kids. They don't seem to understand that I don't care.

obviously, you have none and don't deserve any if you ever decide to have one. Just go cut off your little wanker now and spare us all.

Just because you are a redneck, doesn't mean the rest of us want to be one as well. I assume you have about 10 kids don't you? Half of them still in diapers, and running around the trailer with sh!tstains. No, trust me, I am very envious of your life and your kids.

It must be great knowing that you don't contribute to the total sum of human knowledge. Sounds you are the one who needed to be snipped a while back.

Sooooooooooiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee!

I have 3,love them very much but am glad my child rearing duties are coming to an end.I also find as I get older that my tolerance for other people's children is really limited,perhaps because I see way too many small children being dragged to movies and restaurants by inconsiderate adults who haven't taught them how to act and who are too cheap to hire a babysitter.

I dislike kids.....happy enough to be an uncle...don't wanna be a dad ever really....well maybe later I will change my mind.

children are fine as long as they're someone elses.

So it always came as a surprise to talk to friends whose mothers stayed home from their birth until they were ten or eleven. I never understood the mentality behind it. My mother and I are close, we trust each other, and we respect one another; I don't ever recall any angst or anger while I was in daycare or after-school activities. Not to mention that many of the adults I meet seem to be on the same emotional/intellectual level as some of the teens I used to work with in church groups.


The mentality behind it? Why bother even having kids if you just plan to drop them off for some else to raise? Sure you did okay, but there is something to be said for the closeness and experience of a mother sharing those times with her children. My wife stays home with our kids and she loves it. Sure shes not out making money right now, but I know in 12 years when the oldest goes off to college she won't be one of those moms who look retrospectively and says "where did all the time go."

I hate when entertainment is geared towards kids. Imagine and Zelda game that didn't try to target 4 year olds. There is so much potential out there and all of it is crippled so that it is kid friendly. Such a shame.

I will love having kids when I'm ready. I think that'll be about 2 more years from now... I can't wait to teach them to skate and play hockey and become the hockey dad... my boy will love it. I'll give him 1.5 years to learn to walk before I buy him his first skates though...

If it's a girl, hmm... never thought of that one...

I'm going to laugh when you end up with only girls.

The fact is, no, babies are not always precious, they're not always cute. They're whiny, messy brats who think the world revolves around them. Kids and teens are the same way. Not only that, most adults like to have *gasp* adult fun - that includes jokes, reading, movies, food; we aren't all fans of Shrek and Britney Spears, and we certainly don't like to have some two-year-old with bad parents screaming while we're trying to enjoy our nice Italian meal.

I'm learning this myself, so don't shoot back with some smart-assed reply in that vein.

OK, I'm adressing you specifically, I haven't read through the thread. No time today.

Particularly as regards, "The fact is, no, babies are not always precious, they're not always cute. They're whiny, messy brats who think the world revolves around them."
So are adults. I had my first child when I was 22, I never wanted kids and didn't particularly like them. What I've found is that children, even babies are not little adults, but that adults are CERTAINLY big babies. The fundamental necessities of life never change, from birth to death, they are not simple things, and it is extremely vain to dismiss children as less evolved than adults. If anything maturity clouds a number of issues that children reveal with crystaline clarity. I would say many adults suffer more acutely from thinking the world revolves around them than most children, especially one who starts a thread complaining about children, essentially for ruining his entertainment experience.

You're a wise one, DJ, but I think you may have mis-understood my intentions.

its funny how people whine about kids....remember, you were one once, and im sure on occasion(if not all the time) acted the exact same way as the ones you complain about. myself, and all of my friends who have had children gain nothing but joy from them. i wouldnt be the person i am today without them. but then again, we all have well behaved, intelligent children. dont blame the children for acting like brats, blame the parents. the children can only act the way they have been taught and from what they have observed from adults. most adults i come into contact with still act like children anyway.

as far as entertainment....companies will go where the money is, and today children spend/influence the spending of more and more money. besides, 99% of movies and music suck anyway, so it should be of no surprise they market to children. they are the only ones who havent seen the same movie and heard the same song a million times by now. its still all new to them.

Bump.

Since my wife is teaching kindergarten right now, she is perfectly happy with leaving the kids at work. Therefore, we don't have any kids of our own. That is perfectly fine with both of us. I'm not looking forward to having kids of my own. I have too much other stuff going on right now.

A lovely post like yours makes me think the time we should have outlawed having children was the day
before you were conceived.
