I can’t understand why some people would dislike children. And is it wrong to do so? I mean ok, fair enough they can get on your nerves and wind you up, but hey, most kids do that while they’re developing, right? I absolutely adore children. It’s even my duty to supervise them at this local youth zone I attend as a volunteer. It’s a lot of fun. And most of them there are little angels. Obviously, the world couldn’t go on without more children being born and everyone has been a child in their life, so why would they hate other children? Someone I know absolutely can’t stand children and says how germy she thinks they are, but I find that a little mean. She’s even got a load of people supporting heir claim that kids are a right pain in the *** and that they suck. I just can’t understand it. How can I convince her that children are not all that bad?

I tend to find that people who don’t like children are very selfish or self-focused. That is, they lack the patience or tolerance to accept “childish” behaviour in others. They mostly get on well with you now, as your interests are aligned. I am assuming you don’t have children of your own at present. Friends like this will drop off, once you focus on having a family.
There is nothing wrong with that, it is their life. They will either come around or you will grow apart as friends
There’s certainly a minority of people who say that they highly dislike children in this society. Most people like children because of their innocent nature. I always loved children, but I agree that they can be a pain the behind. Some adults that I’ve encountered were pains as well, so that trait isn’t only exclusive to children. I agree that it is a little mean to have such strong feelings towards a group of people who aren’t even aware of many things yet. Children don’t think cognitive yet until they are about 12, maybe older in some cases. Children are the foundation for the future and are needed in our world. Every child grows up to be an adult but they were all once children, so I assume that they weren’t as adored by the adults in their lives as children and grew up with the mindset that being a child is a temporary plague and now they cannot stand any children. You’ll find many adults who didn’t enjoy their childhood and dislike children. It’s very possible.
You can’t convince someone who has her mind already made up about something. You just go on and do your thing, and be glad you recognize the wonderful potential children have. The people who “hate children” and end up not being married and/or without any children find in their old age that they are very lonely. Children are what sustain us when we’re older. Feel sorry for this person, but don’t try to convince her to change her mind. She’s find out down the road.
Dear Alexandr,
In my opinion when people say they hate children, I think what their really saying is they can’t stand to be around noisy obnoxious brats. Ones that parents allow to run amuck in public places, tearing merchandise up, screaming and yelling having fits and tantrums etc. Obviously the fault lies with the parents who are too stupid and lazy to stop and discipline them. Hell who wants to be around stuff like that. I think HATE is a pretty strong word. I do have a daughter 37. Since she hit age 14. She has given me nothing but grief. I have my 5 small Pomeranians that get my complete love. I wouldn’t give them up for any human. Don’t know what happened with my own child. She has hurt me so much over and over. Kids can be so unappreciative and gross. I am not ashamed to say this out loud. It is what it is.
Does this clarify anything for you? Trust me, people with kids at times wish they never had any.
i don’t like children, and humans aren’t logical as “I was once a child”.
