They remind me of myself at that age

i hate children
 
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.
 
Little kids have always liked me for some reason. And I like them. I like to think I'd be a decent babysitter.
 
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 wouldn't know how to look after a baby, I wouldn't have the patience for small children, and I certainly couldn't handle being around teenagers.

Basically, no.
 
I'm not patient enough for little kids. I babysit my little cousins sometimes and it is always a disaster. They are too hyper and ask too many questions for someone like me. I'd like to have kids one day but right now I just am not a kid person :x
 
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.
 
Little kids are super easy. You feed them and just make sure they don't eat anything poisonous or cut their faces and shit. When mine starts screaming, I just pretend to cry and he stops, it works so well. He might say the f word from time to time, but hey, who doesn't? He lets me steal his fries from his kid's meals too, so I probably taught him sharing accidentally. Oops. I'm lazily raising a human being, but so was everyone in the 30's and no one ever complains about those assholes. #Parenting

Also, I hate everyone's kids.
 
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.
 
That's a hell of a misleading thread title. :/

I'm good with kids, I think. Never had problems, and I'm around them all the time.
 
kids are aiight. lifeguarding you deal with them all day, you sorta have to balance authority and fun. I don't want them to be afraid of me but at the same time they need to understand how to listen and behave.
 
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.
