What Is It About Children?

    I don't particularly enjoy being in the company of children. IMO, they are generally loud, obnoxious, rude, dirty, sticky, stinky, and spread bacteria & viruses. To each his/her own though...*shrug*

    I hope you're kidding???

    Hey Low-Key, if you ever have one of your own your opinion will change drastically. A couple of years ago this thread would have made me gag. Not any more! LOL

    Nope. Not everybody has to like kids do they? It really makes my skin crawl to see children throwing temper tantrums and screaming. Doesn't make me a bad guy. I don't, however, like to see kids get abused. I don't even like to see parents spank their kids. I think physical punishment is wrong. They just irritate & annoy me, that's all. But then, I don't have any kids of my own. If I did, I'm sure I ould be singing a different tune.

    I actually admire that kind of honesty.

    Funny, though, and kinda sad, I've often noticed that people who don't "like" kids are better with them than those who supposedly do.

    I don't get it. Why "shame on me" as you put it? I don't wish kids any harm or feel any type of malice toward them. I fully understand how they can enrich some people's lives. I even respect their rights as fellow humans. I just don't like to be around them, nor do I want any of my own. I would rather be able to rake off and go travelling whenever I want without having to make sure that my kids are being responsibly cared for in my absence. I like to go fishing every weekend. If I had kids to be responsible for, (and I AM a very responsible person), I wouldn't be able to do that. I like to be able to take off and do whatever I want at a moment's notice. It's just my lifestyle. What's wrong with that? I don't begrudge anyone for having kids or loving kids. Why am I condemned for having the honesty to admit that kids annoy me?

    Ninja,

    I'm still waiting to hear how my avatar has anything to do with this discussion...?
