They remind me of myself at that age

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

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.

I don't think so I can ever deals with the kids So i don't like them sincerely because I'm an open minded Person and if i said something straight forwardly to them how would they will react as they are too naughty and so small.So I usually avoid them and I don't like them x_x

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

I like children. As long as they don't throw tantrums every other second, aren't being difficult or act like they know every single thing, they can be rather delightful and bring smiles to my face. I can say that I have a pretty good affinity with children as confirmed by how they (just my younger cousins for now) react around me and by observations from family members and relatives. I'd like to confirm this by helping out in places centred around children, and if this is my path, I'll most probably be working with children as a career in the future.
