ya i understand..it happens but den once u will have a baby..automatically u will love yr kids..thre will come a strong love..

don't worry about.  I have two kids and constantly wonder why I chose to have them.  they are 5 and 2.  They talk all your money and time and give nothing in return.  All this talk about "oh kids the enrich your life so much", "kids make you see life at a new level" yeah...the level of wanting to bash your head into a wall constantly.
 
If you don't have kids, please for the love of God don't have them. If you enjoy your life now...just don't do it.
 
to sum up.... having kids sucks!

You were a kid once, and a probably a pain in your mothers ass.  From the sounds of it, you still are.
 
Selfish comes to mind.
 
Were you abused as a child?
 
Were you lacking friends?
 
You've got problems for sure if you don't like kids...sorry...but that's the bottom line brother!

Some people may have evolved past the need to crap their DNA all over the earth. If you don't want to have any that's your business!

HI Mr, that is not at all a problem . you might faced some disgusting problems with the children in life that may the reason for your behavior.

you know what, are you referring to your own life. This person is reaching out trying to figure out why she feels the way she does and all you do is bash, bash, bash. I think you are selfish, rude and most likely lacking in friends yourself.
 
i think that a lot of parents these days do not disipline their kids at all and dont show them the right way to act in public. It is extremely hard to raise kids. I have two from my marriage and my husband has one from a previous marriage. My kids are great in public because I refuse to let them act any other way. It's call disipline people, use it and your children will be better, LIKEABLE, people. I hate going anywhere too, dining, movies or even simpler, the grocery store. I hate my best friends kids because they are undisipline little whinny brats. Her kids are an embarassment to take anywhere because she simply does nothing when they act out....Get the pattern people, disipline with good family values matters. Does anyone actually spend any time with their kids these days. Every single night my family each dinner together, every single night....among other things, we spend a lot of time with them trying to show them how to be good people and how the world is starting to seriously lack in any morals or values, our soceity is on a decline....

ye,i understand how you feel but that will not make me to hate kids, i love kids cos they make me happy and bring joy to every family .

Sometimes I feel the same way.  I have 2 much younger siblings that drive me nuts most of the time! But other times they are very sweet and that makes up for it.  I try to forget about how angry they make me sometimes, and focus on the good things.  Everyone has their ups and downs.  Even grown-ups.
 
Maybe the kids that you see that are bad just stand out more than the ones that are good.  If you are in the grocery store and you pass a child who is screaming because his mother wont buy him a candy bar, and then you pass a child who is quietly sitting in the seat of the cart, behaving himself while his mother shops, which one are you more likely to notice? Most likely you would remember the screaming child and completely forget about the well-behaved child.  
 
Next time you go out, see if you notice any "good kids".  And sometimes if you look at them and smile, they will smile back and that might change your mind about them. It's like this little person that you don't even know likes you enough to smile at you!  :)

Mom and Dad had 17 kids, an eccentricity that amazed me. Wife and I got married at 42 and 43, and we reluctantly conceded it would be proper to have one kid, a girl, because they're so hip. We thought we could achieve this by the simple expedient of not taking contraceptives. Not so simple. We thought we'd missed the bus. For no intelligible reason that was an agony. Then as if by magic, wife delivered a boy. I have never regretted it for one minute in 14 years. Advice: just have one before it's too late. Don't reason about it. There is no reason. You won't be sorry.

I do not hate them, I am not a fan of being around them & I certainly do not want one. Luckily, my own LTR partner isn't interested in having children either. I believe people feel the way they do for they're own reasons. It is awesome the power of choice. There isn't anything wrong with you love.

Hi olivia,
 
there is no normalcy in either having or not having kids..
So do not fret about that part.. it is just a personal choice.
 
The unfortunate thing is that society 'enforces' its ethics on you, making you feel that you have some problem for not wanting kids... and making you come here and query about the "problem"..
 
You most likely hate kids as you say, just because you are resisting the directive, that society tries to enforce on you..
 
You should feel good that your system still manages to put your own choices above the society's ones..
 

I LOVE babies - especially with sweet chilly sauce. Devine! :D

You spoke your peace and a few other people who didn't agree with you found it necessary to belittle you and call you selfish because you didn't agree with them or the "norm". Screw people, it's your life and you are free to think and feel any damn thing you want to. I also can't stand the little rugrats and I find them annoying as all hell. I am polite to children when they are forced in my face but generally, I avoid them. I don't care what people think of me for it and I don't care if the small minded people of the world find it necessary to force feed me their beliefs because it differs from theirs because all you are doing is making it clear that you are small minded and must make the world believe as you do. I and the writer of this post have a right to believe and like whatever we do or don't want to. Almost the whole world loves children except us few; Almost the whole world loves puppies and kittens too but I wouldn't bad mouth some person who didn't just because I did. More power to you lady for speaking your mind and daring to go against the "norm". Someone had to stick up for her!

I feel the same way!  And now my boyfriend is asking about kids now so I don't know what I'm going to do.  I respect your wishes and, like you, I wish to not ever have to have kids, the biological imperative no longer applies.

I agree with you completely, I'm young, still live at home, and my sister who unfortunately had to get pregnant and give birth to a fucking anti-christ, is unfortunately still living at home with me, and I CANNOT stand to be around her child. Can't be in the same room, and when I am, I have to vacate within 10 seconds. Makes too much fucking annyoing ass noise - screaming, repeating the same word 50 times for no damn reason, throwing around toys - makes a mess, whether it be food or stupid ass baby toys (which also frankly piss me off with the ridiculous colors and retarded looking cartoony drawings) and anything else that she shouldn't be touching, books, utensils, whatever she manages to get her filthy hands on. What really gets to me is that her child ruthlessly torments our dog, and finds some twisted deranged sadistic pleasure in it... but I've been rambling on for too long now, so I'll get to the bottom line, I HATE KIDS, there's nothing wrong with that, I'm young, why should I like kids, maybe when I'm in my 30's or 40's or whatever I'll have a different perspective. Anyone who opposes to what I've just written can go fuck themselves. I had a completely normal life, I'm not a psycho, and don't feed me some god damned bullshit about how "I was once a child and my parents had to put up with me blah blah blah" because that's horseshit, I'm not my fucking parents, I didn't choose to have a child and put up with the bullshit, maybe they are more tolerable than me anyway, who knows! And if you respond don't expect said reply to be read because I only came to this site to vent a little bit and my complete and seething hatred for anything that is an infant / toddler / child.

I'm a parent of two, going on three children.  Babies, at least have a reason to cry.  They can't tell you what they want, so they're frustrated.  The older ones, can communicate, but they choose the most embarrassing, horrible ways to do so.  I dislike my kids most of the time, just because of that, and because they make messes, fight over toys, yell, and scream.  I can't get sleep, and it'll be worse when the next one is born.  They have these moments though, that I can't help but smile.  You take the good with the bad, just like any relationship.  Would I have them again if I could go back in time?  Maybe not when I did, but eventually.  I didn't want kids, but I'm not good with the pill, so it was like, "I'm what?!". When I found out that I was pregnant.  Are you bad for hating them?  No.

Contrary to the popular beliefs here,there is nothing wrong with you. I hate kids too,but it's mostly their parents that I hate. For instance,yesterday there were at least 7 kids in my yard screaming right under my window. I told them to go home and about five minutes later some big redneck hag bangs on my door. She was upset because I told her "wittle pwecious" to go home. The nerve of her! I didn't back down either. I pay a helluva lot of rent to live here and by god I decide who stays on my property and who doesn't. I don't whose little crotch droppings get offended. Stand up to entitlemoos and you'll feel a lot better.

Great to find this website. I thought I was the only one! I am in my 30's and I HATE KIDS! They are pushy, annoying, and they take all your time and fun away! My husband is 50 and I am 30 and we don't have any kids. My husband doesn't really want any kids but he is really sweet and playful when he is around them (I still think deep in his heart he wants one). Not me! I don't even want to look at them or play with them I even go to the other side of the street if I see one. I thought something was wrong with me but I guess not! I thought once I get older I would change my mind but that doesn't seem to happen. I even thought about sterilization so I don't have any. my doc says I am too young for it. What a NIGHTMARE!

I don't like kids myself.  No a hatred, really, but more of fear.  Most of my friends are having kids now, and I don't know how to behave around them.  I prefer to do adult things, and I drop the F-Bomb all the time, and kids get in the way of that.  I don't want to teach my friends kids any of my bad habits, so I just stay away from them.  There is nothing wrong with you for disliking, or even hating kids.  Don't have them.  It's your choice to make, and you are only responsible for yourself.

F*** kids! They ruin your life and steal every penny, time, youth,and freedom you have left! I had two at the age of 27 and thought I was ready but now I wish I could go back in time. I used to be so full of life,  always happy, now I feel like a prisoner in my own home and can't take these little monsters anywhere! No matter how much I teach them and how patient and firm I am with them. My husband feel the same way. We just look at each other and throw our hands in the air. The only time we are. Happy and not arguing is when they go away for the weekend. Complete buyers remorse!

I totally agree with you. I hate kids. Everything about them. I Cannot stand them...absolutely cannot. Glad to know there are others who feel the same.

I'm a new father... at first I hated the idea of having a kid.. then a surprise and I became one... I was happy at first but now that she cries all the time and doesn't let me or the mother sleep, I know it may sound wrong but I wish I would of gotten a vesectomy like I planned... it may make me sound like a terrible person, but its true... I guess I'm just not the father type, but don't get me wrong.. the kid will still be taken care of by me

I am engaged to someone with 3 kids...yes 3.  I always wanted to adopt but now, after dealing with kids, especially poorly disciplined kids, I'm not so sure. I love my fiance' to death, but his kids (while not the devil by any means), do not make life easy (even 25% of the time).  Do I wish they never existed..YES, although I try (to no avail) to understand why he loves them.  I love dogs....who doesn't, but kids...I don't get it!

anyone who can get so unjustifiably upset that she 'shared her feelings' about something so common have your own issues.  in fact, i think you are hiding behind your anger - you may be the one with the real issue.
 
i think it is dangerously stupid to NOT examine how you really feel about donating your life to another person before reproducing.  i wish more people actually thought about it before getting pregnant.  sure it is a societal norm to reproduce, it is a biological drive - but logic should win.
 
some people really should be parents - and others shouldn't.  and the latter should not feel pressured or demonized because they aren't feeling it.  should she just be "unselfish" and have children 'just because' hell no.  save the potential child - and for christsake - SAVE YOURSELF.
 
be free - take the extra $9,000-11,000 (cost of a child per year) and travel!  invest in your passions - do all the things people without children CANT do!!!!  YOU WIN!

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.)

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.

im living with a girl with 3 boys. all under 9. they are ok kids, but i cant stand them. especially her youngest. hes a little bastard. sometimes i wonder why im with her. but i love her to death, shes funny, smart, fun to be with, and she is very very very beautiful. her kids are all cry babys. the oldest one is going to grow up to be a pussy, the middle ones gonna be a freakin retard, and the youngest is gonna be a filthy stinking dirt ball. they are all filthy, disgusting, shit on there fingers, pooping, never listen to me, worthless little monsters. i cant be in the same room with them for more than a while, and she gets pissed at me when ignore them, or walk away.... IF UR YOUNGEST KID IS SITTING THERE STICKING HIS DIRTY LITTLE FINGERS IN HIS MOUTH, AND TRYING TO STICK THEM IN MY EAR, OF COURSE IM GONNA WALK AWAY, BEFORE I SMASH HIS FILTHY HEAD IN THE CARPET!!!!!! and shes laughin the whole time hes doin it too. and then she gets mad and calls me a baby for walking away.... i hate ur kid, piss off.

I hate kids, too! I was not abused and I have friends, all the normal stuff. Not everyone likes kids! Does everyone like cars, sewing, sports? No, we are all different! I have one who is now 18. I was an excellent mom and he still turned out to be a bastard loser!!! I'm broke, stressed out, and hate life because of him.

theres nothing wrong with you at all!!
people chose there own life path and do not follow this....u have to be and do the same things as every other drone!!
if their were more people in the world who went with their instincts and didnt bring kids into the world....we may not be in the shit that we are in...benifits abuse,crime etc...this is to all you parents who allow thier kids to run amok and basically dont give a shit about em!!...so why did u have em?....extra cash!!
so go with your own instincts and if people critisie your choice ...tell em to f**k off and look after their own selfish little brats

Why would anyone in their right mind want kids?
You would be better off in jail or just drowning in a dark confined space....
Kids are perfect for you if:
 
You want to wake up early in the morning to the little bastard(s) screamimg, instead of getting your proper sleep.
 
If you don't want to have a sex live to speak of, partly because you are too tired and partly because your other kid is screaming for your attention in the next room or wrecking something of yours...
 
You want to be always broke and you want to spend your last penny on diapers and stupid toys they will end up braking anyway...
 
If you enjoy not being able to leave your house even for a little while, unless you find a third party (babysitter)...
 
If you don't ever want to make any spontanious decisions to go out and have fun.
 
If you think going for vacations is lame.
 
If you love finding objects inside your DVD/VCR and if you love having your stuff broken.
 
If you love it, when your house looks like a pig sty, smelling of vomit with flem, mocus and buggers everywhere....
 
If you don't mind any of that then the kids are right for you...
 
Me?....i love my freedom, i love my fun, i love having money in my pocket, clean quiet place to live, not having any responsibility and being able to do what i want and when and answer to no-one...
If i want to go to Mexico the only hurdle for me to overcome would be my work schedule....
I love life and those, who have foolishly destroyed theirs with their decision to have kids are just jealous, thats why they pretend to be so "discusted" when they find out that i didn't flush my life down the toilet like they did...
Those are the kinds of people who are pushy becausemisery loves company and just because their lives are now worthlessn they want yours to be worthless too.
I got my vasectomy at relatively young age and it is the best decision i have ever made...  

You totally have your own opionion, so I am not saying you are wrong,but my Father died when I was very young and my Mom had to raise me by herself. I was an amazing child ( Although teenage years came with difficulty ) I hate to hear kids cry, but the do not know better, if a kid is annoying by asking the same question over and over it is because they are curious and you are not giving them the answer. They scream because they are upset about something. If your child is a little fleash eating demon baby there has GOT TO BE A REASON WHY! AND YOU NEED TO FIND IT! If you have a kid you need to be able to raise it, and that does not mean giving him food, water and a bed, you need to SUPPORT children!

i am a 13 year old and this is horrible! i was a great child! i still am! and sometimes people like you will come and call me a b*tch child for stuff i dont even think is wrong! for example the other day these 17-19 year olds came and pushed me off the swings and laughed when i skinned my knee! then they said to go home and i did. i was really scared! and then i did a preasentation and one adult sais i was horrible! i had tried really hard but mrs.conner did not think so! i get my own money and NEVER get allowence but my parents and i still love eachother! we give eachother hugs and i just fineshed saying goodnigh to my daddy and i hope he has sweet dreams! all you people could NEVER have this bond because you DONT TRY!!!!!!!!!i hope all your kids read this someday and see what terrible parents you are! they will run off crying and NEVER love you!

You people are all children, I am too. If no one loved children we would not be born.

kids totally suck.  But then, so do most of their parents.

I hate hate hate kids!  I hate my boyfriend's kids with a mad passion.  They are annoying, loud and know-it-alls.  They get it from their mother, and she is also in the picture (which is a good thing), but she's about as ridiculous as the kids are.  After being home for 10 seoonds, they start demanding things and are spoiled little shits.  Hmmm.  Would I rather gain a shit-ton of weight, go through a hellish labor, and be tied down for years...OR fly to Europe, have a life and get together with friends that doesn't include a "play date"?  How lame is that? I love to travel. While I'm on the beach in Spain, your boobs will be leaking.  Have fun.

I don't see any "joy" in having kids.  I have approximately 40 friends with kids and each and every one of them are in hell. All great parents, all educated, but still...in pure hell.  They all have "good" kids.  As good as they get, I suppose.  Ugh.  It's nice to have "birth control" friends.  I secretly laugh when I am able to head to the beach or go on vacation for a girls' weekend, but they aren't able to go because they have a crying baby strapped to their hip.  I am free!  

I could not agree more I hate the little bastards. Just yesterday I was coming home from the bus stop after I had brought My fiance Her lunch at work and these little pukes where playing football or dodge ball or whatever the hell these little idiots play. They play in the field by our house. I always cut across the field to get home and almost everytime the little F@#$ers mock and ridicule me. ME Im a 28 year old man for christs sake. They think it is just endlessly hilarious I have to dye my hair black. Its called premature graying you little bastards! They throw their stupid balls at me or snowballs. What am i supposed to do? im a grown man! I cant yell at them or tell them to piss off because their parents will come over to our house and bitch that someone dared to say anything to their brats. and usaully in the summer they pile garbage and old tables and rugs up to make a ugly fort we have to look at all summer. I hate kids their all the same,disrespectful ,ignorant dirty little shits. and before anyone says "oh you usd to be a kid" I can ataest I was nothing like these little assholes. Their so spoiled and useless. What kind of future do these little animals have? Their parents put them up on such a high pedastal,their egos are completely out of control

I absoluteyl loath todays children. something happened in our society nearly 30 years ago that began the decline of civility among children. Their just so completely out of control and utterly revolting. I cannot stand being in their disgusting preseance for more then a few moments. I hate all their annoying music and Fashion. I resent how they are made into Gods by their souless empty parents and above all I hate and resent their stupidity.

Same here!! I totally hate kids. No respect or manners thanks to their idiot parents. Middle schoolers are the worst and should be put in Battle Royales.  What also annoys me are these adults who say "When you have one it will be the best years of your life" crap. Or the ones who say "If you don't get married and have kids you'll miss out on life and die old, sad, and alone". Screw them with that crap!! I'd rather live my life as an adventure by traveling to my favoride countries, trying out new things, and have fun alone without any moronic husband, his family, and kids.

There is NOTHING wrong with you!!! I HATE kids too!!! I am 40 and my husband is 40 and THANK GOD we never had any ungrateful annoying brats!!! We have soooo many people jealous of us.  We eat when we want. we sleep in, fly to Rome first class, Go ANYWHERE and buy the BEST seats, have a spotless home and no fucking brats to have to take care of. We spend thousands traveling the world and have been to almost every continent.  I laugh at all the scumbags around here that have all these brats and they cannot afford to even hire a babysitter.  I live near a military base and there is soooo much white trash in this town.  Stupid 20 somethings who are lazy and sit on their fat ass while their husband is working his ass off on base.  They sit and complain. piss and moan about how bored they are and how much they hate their kids.  I could care LESS what happens to your kid or what it drew at school.  If I see brats fall down and cry I want to laugh my ass off.  I have a business where I am in a lot of other peoples homes... EEEWWWW is all I can say!!! their houses smell like shitty diapers and spoiled formula....broken toys all over the place and stinky laundry.  I love my life and wouldnt trade it for ANYTHING.  You are NOT missing anything by not having kids.... we love our money, freedom and travel!!! For those of you who have kids, dont expect me to help them do things that YOU need to do!! those are YOUR nasty fucking brats NOT MINE!!!!  To the old bitch who gave me a dirty look because I dont like kids....some of us have lives and dont want to waste them being tired and broke all the time!!!  Yep I hate kids and have no problem saying it in public!!!!!

I hate children with a BURNING passion. I call them shit-and-piss machines. All they do is take up your valuable time, shit, piss, scream, break things, stare, and make messes. It all started when I kept getting in trouble by my mom because I didn't let stupid spoiled brats get their way (i.e. video game, even if it's a rated M game). My sister won't stop shoving the subject about babies down my throat. Ffs, I don't get what is up with ignorant teens who have unprotected sex "with nothing to worry about." Birth control exists for a reason. I've always hated kids and will always hate them. I WANT to hate them. And don't you dare say, "You were a screaming baby once." Well, that's because my parents decided to have me, and I'm not stupid enough to breed. It's a miracle that I haven't beat the shit out of one already. My opinion might not matter much, but I just had to vent.

I f****ng hate kids too! Selfish, annoying, they don't listen, irresponsible, stupid, don't do what they are told, can't finish even the simplest of tasks, forget everything but selfish stuff, cost too f****ng much! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I f****ng hate kids, through and though! You can't be intimate because the f***s are always awake! can't be naked, can't spend quality time with your spouse! They always want to be in whatever you are doing .....

im a kid and im great you are all miserable!

I hate babies, teens and those 20 year olds who dress like gangsters, do drugs an do not work.  I never wanted children.  When I was married I got pregnant and had an abortion and have no regerts.  I also hate the parents because since I have no kids you become  an outcast.  I was working in a company were every women was knocked up or had kids. I was considered an monster, was passed over for raises and could never get time off cause someone little spooge of a brat was sick and had taken time off. Don't worry I quit and told them to fuck off!!
 
When my nefwes were born I could care less, I was only 15 at the time but my brother still holds a grudge 25 years later the asshole!  When my neice was born I was stuck with her (husbands side) cause her whore mother was to busy going away drinking, I felt bad for the little girl, who grew up to be a mental mess. Happly I got away from that family!
 
My new guy has two kids, one from his late wife (the girl is not his biologal daughter) and a son who was a mistake when he was 16.  These kids now in there 20's are losers who never went to school, can't read and are major drug addtics living on welfare.
 
His brother has two kids, a boy 4 girl 18 months. They came over and almost destroye my house.  The boy is impossable to control will not shut up and is a blantent liar! All this an his dumb father trys to control him an fails large.  The girl tried to smash my laptop..little shit!!
 
All in all kids suck!

...

I'm so glad I found you.
I HATE (with very strong passion) babies and children.
I really HATE them. I wouldn't go as far as some other posters on here...I would never consider causing harm to a baby/child (i.e, smashing a kids face as someone else stated). However, I really do not like babies/children or want to be around them.
I'm late 20's, female, great career, financially sound. I can't see why anyone else in my position would want to sacrfice everything for the sake of a baby/child??
A few weeks ago, This weekend, we had family/friends over including a horrible, ugly, screaming new-born.
Everyone spent ages staring at this brat whilst saying things like, 'aaaaw, isn't he so cute?!''
I felt like screaming, 'NO HE ISN'T!!!!! He's a boring, ugly little sh*t who screams every 5 minutes...and he's ruined his parents lives'
The brats mother kept pulling out her saggy boob/nipples in front of everyone (inc. her father in law, older males in the family!) whilst saying, 'sorry everyone! You loose your pride/privacy/dignity when you become a Mum'
I honestly felt pity...and annoyance when I witnesses this horrible baby attached to her boob constantly.
How.....utterly sad and....sh*t.
Kids are dirty, smelly and they will ruin your life. Don't have them EVER!!!!!!!!  

I completely agree with you. I detest kids with a passion and have vowed to never have any of my own. Nothing is wrong with you, forget all these people who try to make you feel bad for who you are.

I'm a 50-year-old never-married, childless woman. I knew at age 17 that I'd be this way and it's the truth of me. No regrets. Some people are pitying and others get it. Art is what I give birth to.
 
I live in a neighborhood that became filled with breeders. They seem like aliens operating under some program I can't fathom. Many of the kids are jerks and so are the parents. The parents often look tired and older than their years. Some waited until midlife to have kids and they can't seem to keep up. Sometimes I see parents with their kids and my first thought is that they are young grandparents. It just looks wrong. Some have daytime nannies who push strollers while they yak on their cells. Meanwhile the kid in the stroller has an "anywhere but here" look on his or her face.
 
The world's overpopulated. Many parents aren't even healthy grownups themselves, so they'll pass their neuroses and issues on to the children instead of healing themselves first. Children won't heal or complete you. They can be expensive, unpredictable accessories of entitlement. I wish more people would engage in more soul searching, thoughtfulness, and take a reality check before having children.

I was never interested in having kids either. My brother has three children and is totaly tied down. He has a two year old at age 47. No freedom at all. It's not for me. You are better off alone.

Just a quick update,These little bastards that live by us dig through the garbage and drag it under the tree in our park. Their parents of course do nothing,Those are their precious little prodigys"as if this garbage fort building nonsense will lead to a future in Architecture" Anyway... They threw a old diaper at Me and My wife as we where coming home from a nice night out. Yes...you read that correctly. They Threw a f@#$ing diaper at us. A diaper. A goddanmed diaper. I turned around and yelled at them,"You know when I was a child we didnt play in garbage"
The next day this big fat obnoxious cow came to our house and had the following to say," If you dont stop yelling at My kids Im going to call the police and file a report on you." Isnt that typical? Their kids tear apart everyones garbage,spread it around, run around our block all day screaming and yelling and throwing diapers at Adults and somehow We are the ones at fault. Thats another typical thing you see these days,little shitheads who have no consequences for their actions,they get away with ANYTHING. And of course their parents will always coddle and justify whatever they do.
 
So sure, Go ahead cow. Call the cops. I will promise you this however, Your little assholes will be the utter ruination of your life down the road. You will die in a Hell of your own making.So keep spoiling and defending everything they do.....They ever throw a diaper at Me and My wife again I dont care Im running them over.  

This is all truth here. I thought I was the only one who can't stand kids for the life of me. Comfort is taken to thos who feel the same way. Kids ruin lives and steal the joy away from life. Sure many parents claim "OH my kid makes me feel young again" Sure, that's just the fabrication made up in your consciousness. Kids drain money,steals happiness,kills time ETC. That's not fair for anyone. We should work,have fun and the hell with anything Tying anyone down. The world has plenty of kids, we don't need to make more. I'm married and my wife don't want kids and neither do I and that's the best decision one could ever make.

I hate kids too. I have been wondering the same thing.. what is wrong with me? Why can't I just see and feel the same things other people seem to feel and see when they're around kids. I find kids annoying, loud, messy.. they cause nothing but problems and rob you of your personal life and freedom.

Oh man.. I hate kids too but at least none are throwing diapers. That  must be a health hazard and you should call the cops and get a restraining order on them. Have no mercy laws are laws and harassment   is wrong  no matter what age. Start putting razors in the trash LOL..

The decision to NOT have children is a mature one, and should never be questioned by others.  There is no law saying you must have children, even if you do like other people's kids.
 
I have three children, whom I love dearly.  Some days it is a huge challenge.  However, I wouldn't trade them for the world, even the severely autistic one.  That is not to say that other people should have children and accept that as their fate.
 
I found this blog because I'm searching for a way to tell one of my best friends that I don't want my kid playing with her kid.  Love the mother, can't stand the child.  So, even though I have kids, I understand why some of the people here can't stand other people's kids.
 
I wish you luck with your life.

High IQ probably.  Didn't you ever notice how idiot have shitloads of kids and the smarter people are the fewer they have?  

to all who hate kids...i hope you have a good time down below i'm a 14 year old boy and i'm the nicest person and i'm a good child

i'm the same 14 year old above. yeah i love my parents AND in the future i'll be next president

You tell us not to put rude comment yet yourself act rude? What a hypocrite you are!  So is more than one person who typed here. >:(
 
If you don't want people to be rude to you, then don't be rude to people. Got it?!

haha - I feel the exact same way you do. I don't want to hate kids - but I just do. I find them repulsive - especially babies sucking on stuff. I think mother nature is starting to create a gene in some of us to stop the overpopulation - evetually is will be in all of us.

i geuss jesus is the only one that loves children! and plus dont talk about people that way! thats so rude keep those comments to your self ok! unless its nice god sake!

you were a kid once. think about it from that perspective.

It's not so much that I hate kids, although I often say I do.  I just don't get why soooo many people want them.  And why once they have them, they are a "package deal".  I never had to love or want to hang out with my friend's mothers/fathers, sisters/brothers or in most cases, even husbands. I realize kids need constant care, but in most cases there are fathers who can take them for a few hours! But now if I want to keep my friends with children, I have to pretend to adore and enjoy their offspring's company.  And I just can't.
 
People call those of us who don't want children "selfish".  It cracks me up.  Because once you are a parent, you are all about one thing-- YOUR children. Self,friendships,and often even marriages,take a backseat. It may not be YOU but it is all about YOURS. Still sounds kind of selfish to me-- maybe you give unselfishly to your children(because you WANTED to have them), but to the rest of the world you give no more than the other "selfish" people.  
 
I feel like too many people also have kids just for attention.  Because every birth is treated as the next baby Jesus. And everywhere you go, attention is showered upon them. Until the kid turns about 8...then the kid is basically ignored.  And the poor teenagers-- people treat them like they are the scum of the earth. No wonder kids grow up so troubled-- one day they are a king, the next, they are a nobody!
 
I do agree with what one of the commenters said...those of us who don't want kids resist so strongly because we are fighting what society is trying to thrust upon us.  We just don't get it so we go on websites wondering what is wrong with us.  And there are still people telling us that we are selfish jerks, even in a place we are looking for empathy that is so difficult to find.  Are parents' opinions more valuable than ours?  It sure feels like it.

Tangent Alert: If I can't have my dream life of just making money passively from books, I think I belong in a cubicle or somewhere doing isolated work.  I want so badly to be away from the world of teaching and kids...the bad ones just help me realize this...

I'm early 20's, female, married, earning all the money I can muster and putting myself through school in order to make something of my life some day. I can tell you now that I will never, ever have children and no, I will not change my mind when I get older, thank you. I have been told this by literally every person who has disgusting, rude, horrible little parasites that they themselves did not want.
 
I work a job where I am forced to be around children all the time (sorry, don't tell me to get a new job, it took me 6 months to find one in this economy) and they not only destroy the store, they steal, throw shit all over the floor, waste my time with stupid, pointless questions, but they run around and annoy other adult customers. I hate children and teenagers with a passion. And NO, I was not some spoiled shit when I was young. I was absolutely silent and attached to my mother's hip. Now I am a hard worker and have great grades. I don't waste money, have good credit, great friends, am healthy, and have a wonderful relationship with my husband.
 
Now I am not against some people having kids. My mother, for example, is a wonderful woman, extremely caring and loving and a good disciplinarian. She always wanted kids, and ended up having 2. If she were to have more children I would not fault her because she is 100% cool with donating her life to them, and competent enough to raise good human beings. Right now she works with kids to improve their lives and that is awesome. But almost of my friends/acquaintances who had unwanted children (which is to say, roughly 8/10 people) are on welfare, do not take care of their own (thanks to the kids' grandmothers) and are horrible at controlling the kids. Some of them spend all night partying and leave their kids with baby daddy/mommy. What a huge disgusting drain on the tax payers of this country. I hate getting my paycheck and knowing a good portion of it goes to people like my cousin who has a kid, cheats with food stamps, pays nothing to the government and parties all night and sleeps around. I know of one, ONE couple who wanted their daughter and are actively raising her to be sweet and quiet and above all, POLITE.
 

If I had my way, most people would not have kids. A few would be allowed and those would be the ones that wanted them and would donate 100% of their efforts to raising a decent person. Give contraception to the poor, mentally ill, selfish or incompetent people in EVERY country.

I think there are kids and then kids. They are not all the same...there's a kind of kids I love to hate...and that is the spoiled, manipulative, bad-mannered, self-centered kids that won't let their parents do anything without screaming, crying, acting out and expecting to have everyone's attention. That kind of kid I just can't stand. I don't mind kids who have been well raised and show good manners and are not selfish monsters..those kinds of kids I can actually enjoy being around. I think this love-hate relationship with kids depends a lot on whether the kids in question have been well educated or not...so it really depends on how their parents have raised them.

I see a lot of comments like this one
 
"ye,i understand how you feel but that will not make me to hate kids, i love kids cos they make me happy and bring joy to every family ."
 
This is because your life was worthless before you had kids and now you think your life has meaning, truth is your life is worth less because of the constant burden of children who's lives are also worthless. Why did this person think it was OK to have kids? Ignorance.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE KIDS WITH SUCH A PASSION. WHEN I HEAR ONE CRY OR SCREAM, I'D LIKE TO THROW THEM OVER A CLIFF. THEY ARE HORRIBLE CREATURES. I CANT STAND BABIES EITHER. I ESPECIALLY HATE TO SEE KIDS HAVING TEMPER TANTRUMS IN PUBLIC, I'D LIKE TO GO OVER AND SLAP THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIM OR HER, AND THE PARENT FOR ALLOWING IT. WHAT A HORRIBLE WASTE OF EXISTENCE!

Well, I can't say that I hate kids.  Just don't want any of my own and would be happy enough to not have any around.  Basically, a kid is like everyone else--if's decent to me I'll be decent to it.  And then I want it to go away.  
As for the initial question, there's nothing wrong with you.  Check out BabyOffBoard.com for some great childfree blog posts.

It's not only babies and children that suck but, the vast majority of adults do too. I'm fully understand not liking children. Hell, I can't stand most adults, either. People suck. Doesn't matter what age they are.

I agree with you! I've been hating kids and babies with a passion ever since I was a teenager, they're nothing but noisy, filthy and annoying little monsters. I get pissed when I see them in malls and restaurants and mostly in airplanes which is why I hate flying coach because those little bastards never quit their crying and whining while their f***ing parents ignore them throughout the trip. And no, children are NOT little angels or a blessing, I prefer pets over those pigs I mean kids.

I am not a big fans of kids myself! I could not pointed out why for so long. Then I realized that we live in a baby obsessed society and therefore we thought there must be something wrong with us, but actually not. It's a preference, it's a choice and it is justlike some people chose to get married, some not. Some ppl loves dogs and some are not etc. it could be because of your childhood and upbringing. I grow up as an only child and that makes me content with myself and I enjoy my alone time and my space and this is why I value it so much. I don't need a child to make me happy, I am content without one. I also think that most of us who hates kids are very focus and serious person and we found not cuteness is stupidity, being dirty or act crazy as innocent n cute, we found it annoying. But they r children and the know nothing unless they are being taught. I blame the parents! They should teach and show these kids how to behave, act and respect other people. They should never expect other people to tolerate them just because they have kids and therefor try could ruin our romantic adult dinner or movie or peaceful moment after hard days at work. Many people just want to relax and you parents wants us to understand your crazy kids running around, scream and cry? Those are very stressful and you parents should know that there are other people who needs some relaxation. So yes it's not the kids fault its the parents who made people like us think twice to have kids. Some ppl are not suppose to be a parent including those who abandon, abuse and left their children and family. Think and make sure U r ready in every aspects in life before u started popping children. Parents, be a good role model of love and discipline. Too much love spoiled the hell out of ur kids and they will grow up as a materialistic adults. Teach them that they could not have anything they want and do not use your screaming and crying as the weapon to get what you want oh and make sure they know that you are the boss and not their slave. Parents do u wanna know why u r tired all the time? Because u complicate things and do everything ur kids demanded u to do. U r their slaves and you feed a monster in the making. Bad parenting equals bad behavior. Spoiling ur kids is not love!! So honey, u might not wired for kids so don't keep trying to think there is something wrong with u. If the parents take better parenting skill, we might like their kids :)
