i do feel the same as you, i do not like children and don't think i will have any. i love my nephew but i could not consider having any of my own, the thought of it fills me with fear and dread. not all women want to have children and this is a woman's right to make this decision. a lot of my friends also agree with me. people always tell me that i will want children and it annoys me because i am quite happy in my decision not to have any. not wanting children is not a crime, the crime is people who have children for all the wrong reasons, unwanted pregnancies, band-aid babies, having babies to make your partner stay with you, and the small portion of girls who see having children as a career option and a way into the benefit system, this happens, i personally know girls who fall into each of these categories. if you do not think you can love a child then you are making a decent moral decision to not have any.
it is also an actual phobia known as 'paedophobia'.

I dont think you hate children, but I dont expect that you will like them either, I could not stand my cousins and my family thought I would never have kids of my own. You are right, children can be down right horrible, annoying and when they are ugly, it is even worst. Some kids are so bad, it is impossible to see them as sweet, but you will get over it. Maybe when you have a child of your own, because then you will see that it does not matter what people think of your child, it is how you feel about it. I have a 2 year old son, and he gets on my last nerve, but I love him soooooo much, that I got pregnant again and I am expecting a baby girl in any minute now.
You dont hate them, you are just afraid of them and that is normal.

We all have our dislikes, some understandable and some not so. Whilst your reaction to children may be a little extreme (was the two day old chasing you with a knife?) I can't imagine you're alone in this. Kids can be loud and horrible and I have to admit that eight out of ten kids I see make me happy to not have any but I do see some cute and sweet ones too. I generally dislike kids aged 8-18 and I trained to be a teacher... go figure...

I don't know. I LOVE babies and small children. Babies are the coolest. i kinda wish my own children could have stayed babies.
See? Some people have strong feelings about it one way or another. You would not like to work in a maternity ward. I would. I would not like to teach children who can speak in complex sentences already. You might like to be a veterinarian or work with people who are adults and act like it. I find those who have trouble with children or dislike being around them also have trouble doing more than getting along with people in general. Have you noticed this? Do you find yourself only able to interact very well with certain types of people? There is nothing wrong with anything you said; it is very insightful to know and will help you learn about yourself and prepare for life's biggest choices.

I can understand how you feel.
I don't feel quite so strongly but they do really drive me nuts.
They always think they are so darn cute.
They come into the pizza store where i work and ask me a million questions about making pizza. And then they want to carry the pizza and 50% of the time they drop it on their way out and start crying. And then the parents want a new one. and i'm just like "dude, the pizza weighs more than your kid. You carry it yourself!"
Then they grow up and come into the store with all their friends and make a mess and are loud and annoying.
No kids for me. It is not neccesarly normal to feel this way, but when you know no other way to feel it is okay.

I'm the mother of a 5 yr old kid, so No, I don't feel the same way as you.
I can understand why you hate the screaming and crying, that stuff does tend to get annoying! I can't stand to listen to my own youngen scream at me constantly!
But, you almost puked when you saw a 2 day old baby? Hmm, that's weird.
Cheers

frozen chicken, lol! :)
children grow on you.. when my son was born, I thought he was pretty ugly and he screamed all the time, and to be honest I didn't feel like I loved him very much back then.. I mean all he did was eat, poo, and cry.. that was 15 months ago..
he really grew on me though and I love him very much now.. the way he runs up to me with a book in his hands and wants me to read to him, and when he rests his head on my shoulder, and the cute ways he attempts to communicate.. it's so precious! I never thought I'd use a word like "precious" but that's the only word I can think of to describe him.. :)

Kids are not for everyone. I have 4 but I can tell you I get angry when parents don't control their kids. parents think everyone thinks they are cute.....well we don't. Your kids are NOT cute....period!!
I can't stand going to a nice place to eat and the Brady bunch is in the restaurant with a baby. That can ruin the meal. If they sit me next to them I will ask to move of leave.
Or when their uncontrolled kids come to my house and actually jump on the sofa. or play with a car on my coffee table.
I have well trained kids and dogs they know better. plus our furniture ain't cheap so we try to take care of it. Usually I will keep my cool and try to get them to stop nicely while the parents are just smiling and saying 'aren't they cute'.
My furniture cost about as much as their child destroyed car. thanks for visiting.
how about the lady who has no class and change diapers full of crap in public view. I witnessed this at a picnic and the kid was Way to old to have a diaper. He was 3-4 and had full size nasty crap. It was freaken disgusting and sick.
I don't get sick at the site of children and love my kids but wish people would realize we don't love their kids like they do. What is the deal with parents they are afraid to say no and discipline their kids?
Also getting sick at the site of a child is just weird.

I have a two best friends who admit to hating children. They never want to have children of their own. I have absolutely no problem with either of them. It is their life and their choice to make. They are my friends and loving them means that I support whatever decisions they make in their life - even if I find it a bit weird or not something I would never consider doing.
It sounds to me like you're asking this question because you feel like you are being judged because you don't like children? Don't worry - people should like you for who you are, and if they don't they're not worth your time and friendship.
I hope this helps!
