I'm 39 and can't stand kids either. I will never have one. I lived with a woman I loved very much for two years and her 11 now 13 year old son. He was a whiny, spoiled wimp. Never did anything but sit on his ass in front of a computer. His mom did everything but wipe his behind. I couldn't stand it and I left. I still love her but never again. If a woman has kids I will run till my feet fall off. It doesn't make you a bad person, not everyone is the same.
 
I dont understand why people would want the nightmare and headache. The cost is unreal on top of it and your life revolves around them 24/7. There is nothing better when I come home after working 14 hours to a quiet peaceful home with only my expenses to worry about and meet with my beautiful, childless and much younger new girlfriend.
 
Knowing when I'm 50 and have a very nice large sum of hard earned money saved and a good pension that is mine and not going to school bills, sweet 16's, (and worse if your kid is sick) Doctor bills, therapists etc.
 
I will be able to travel and do what I want and enjoy my life. And don't say you will be old and alone bc that is the biggest lump of horseshit society tries to throw at you.

I have a friend just like you except she wants a family of her own one day. I do not believe there's anything wrong with your opinion. Thats why it is YOUR opinion. You don't have to put up with anyone elses bratty children. If they can't simply get away from the kids for a simple lunch then stick to telephone convos. Life is way too short to deal with things you dont like and can control being around. Ask yourself this: whats the purpose? whats the purpose of being around these people if it upsets you? as a matter of fact, ask yourself that question in every situation.

Hello, I have a job that takes me all around the world. I, unlike most people dont care to go anywhere BUT we both have to realize its not being ungrateful. Its just our preference not to want to go anywhere. We all aren't the same. Staying honest with your parents might just be the key however not stressing them out when he has a medical issue(which is way more important) would be a great idea. Maybe you could talk to them in advance so you dont go next year. Maybe you can ask theme to compromise on going next year or maybe go sooner and stay home for the Holidays.

In 5 years will it matter if you had a Jansport bag?
What will matter is if your family had enough money to put you through school. If they had enough money to keep your house. Your car. Your health.
Listen to your mother, and learn to appreciate money. Do you actually like your classmates for who they are, not what bag they have? Do you realy want to be exactly like them?

Syvia Plath-esque. Very good points

Hi - I am a male and the same thing happened to me - although I can't say this is the first time I've ever loved.  I was in the middle of a great relationship then all of a sudden I'm not "the" one any more and she's moving on except, like you, she wants to be friends.  Who was the guy that said why do women want to be friends right after they rip your heart out?  
You know what I think?  I think it's probably a good thing this happened - it's better to find out before you make any serious commitments to this guy (like marriage)  There are plenty of great guys out there (believe it or not) and one day you will look back and realize how lucky you were to have this happen.

I am pregnant right now, and it honestly depends on the kid. Some kids are cool and I don't mind being around them. But undisciplined, unruly kids make me want to pull my hair out!!!!!!!'
 
I'm babysitting my husband's friend's daughter right now and she is horrible!!!! I wish I would have never ever ever EVER agreed to watch her for him.
 
Seriously watching this child has made me wonder if I am even ready to be a mom. I am starting to worry that I am going to be an terrible parent bc I have no patience right now.
 
You aren't wrong for hating children, it's just how you are (and maybe me too.)

That's too bad that's happening with you.  But as an oddball myself, learn to love what qualities make you unique.  In school I was surrounded by cookie-cutter people that all copied each other in one way or another and never tried to be their own person.  People fear what they don't understand and sadly you have become the scapegoat.  I hope you find peace as you get older and maybe some vindication when you see them years later and you see them in the light that suits them best.  Pathetic.  It's never easy being unique but you come to discover there are people out there that will truly appreciate the person that YOU are for it.

You know, russian peegly is very popular...
