Little children, how good are you at dealing with them? Do you like them?

I can't really deal with them if they are screaming about something, whether it be positive or negative. I also can't take care of them either. I'm kind of a kid myself, so it's not easy for me to act like a rolemodel to them. I had to babysit this little boy once, and I ended up having my mom help me do most of it because I just couldn't deal with it at all. :/ I mean, not that the boy was this little terror or anything... just that in a situation on my own, I couldn't deal with looking after him and whatever.

I cannot deal with small children at aaaaaall

Like, I don't mind being around them in general, and I have nothing against kids, but if I have to personally deal with a small kid that I don't know at all? Not happening. I remember looking after some young kids during a church service one night years ago, for the church my dad and sister went to at the time, and let me tell you. I found out right then and there that I definitely have no idea how to handle kids, it was such an awkward night because they were upset and I didn't know how to calm them down, and yeah ever since then I'm not about to willingly put myself into a situation like that. No.

I would never be able to handle little kids, especially with how clumsy I am and I was once near some kids and had a fear I was going to crash into them because they were teeny compared to me.

I can deal with my two nieces and my little sister, but other children...omfg no.

Children are adorable and all but there are parents out there that haven't taken Parenting 101. Seriously.

I'm sorry, but I hate kids.

Working in a grocery store really lowers my patience for kids. The store that I work at has these little carts meant for little kids, and the little suckers love them. It keeps them happy while the parents are shopping, but hell breaks loose if all the carts are taken. The stall for them is right on front of coffee, so I get a front row seat of the kids throwing themselves on the ground, screaming their heads off and kicking anything that comes too close. The worst tantrum I've witnessed lasted at least ten minutes. Another kid came and returned a cart for the little boy, but the kid was so worked up he couldn't walk. He just stood by the cart, filling the entire store with his high pitched yelling.

I don't want kids.

I love kids except Gligar ;)

Generally speaking I'm quite good with kids because I am completely at home being the fun playful guy and the disciplinarian so I can make them happy and keep them in line. It's probably good that I enjoy working with children and am at least somewhat good at it because my work requires me to work with children and I'm studying to become a primary school teacher.

I, for one, can handle kids perfectly fine. I love them, just so long as I'm not listening to some endless story about nothing. I yell at my little brother & sister, but that's me being the oldest sibling and getting their asses into line. Otherwise I just adore kids and they usually adore me back, as I am a loving, caring person who radiates kindness and warmth :)

I feel so out of place in this children-hating thread, I really do. Just relax a little. I wonder if children don't like to be around many of you because they can sense the uptightness in your soul. They can smell how boring you are. I certainly can.

I'm a child at heart so I can relate to them. I'm pretty good with kids for the most part unless they're Really Annoying (which most aren't, such a weird generalization going around in this thread for some reason). "I wonder if children don't like to be around many of you because they can sense the uptightness in your soul. They can smell how boring you are. I certainly can." yeah
you're the poet in my heart

It's probably just generalization. I know people who got to deal with one annoying kid and then assumed all of them are the same.

I'm part of a big family so I have loads of little cousins and even three siblings that are children, so I'm pretty much around them all the time. They can be annoying, yeah, but I love them all. My heart broke when my sis begged me not to move out of the country. :(

I'm really curious on how you guys approach children when trying to reason with them. I always talk to them with a soft tone and try to be playful if they're feeling down. They can be stubborn but really all it takes is some patience. It's not that hard unless you're just not willing to put up with it.

One of my cousins (who's only 2 years old!) started to always follow me around and mispronounce my name when I visited my relatives last easter holiday. She's adorable. Can't wait to see her again. We even share birthdays.

it's curious how you made a connection between being boring to hating children

i hate children because they can be very obnoxious, but i don't outwardly show that. i take care of children on a regular basis and their parents have told me that i was fun to be around, according to their children.

i don't actually hate children, i hate how stubborn and obnoxious they can be. it's worthless to act on that hatred though because they're just kids
