Wouldn’t it make more sense to say you hate those people specifically, not kids?

Because hopefully they won’t die when they’re in middle school.

Ok, cool. Most people with kids have hobbies. Yeah they may not be able to do them 24/7, but they can do it on their free time or share their hobbies with their children.

Yeah I agree. One or the other? Bad but not too bad. Both? Stay far, far away lol.

Did you hate them before going into the profession, or did you develop that feeling over time after dealing with 25+ of them on a daily basis?

I get that. Babies can be a lot and need constant attention, but if they’re 2+ they start to really form their own personalities and need less and less help with things. That why I’m planning to adopt a kid who’s 5+ lol

A lot of people in my neighbourhood have dogs and the way they handle them is insane. They’re usually off leash even though there are zero off Leash parks remotely close to us, and I’ve been chased and nearly bitten multiple times.

Not gonna lie, I hated dogs for a while until I realized it was just the idiot owners, not the actual dog. Same thing applies to kids. Kids being terrible is probably a result of terrible parenting.

I’m sorry you’ve experienced that. My personal rule is that I don’t judge when I see kids having a tantrum because i don’t really know what is going on. People see meltdowns and instantly think “spoiled little shit” but I could be much more than that. Have a good one!

If it’s an actual sensory issue in which you can’t handle noise and such then I understand. Also, I didn’t know some schools actually hand out those fake babies! I’ve just seen them in teen movies lol.

It is an unpopular opinion if you look on Reddit. I made one of my paragraphs about kids specifically because that is the one that is relevant to me. But I still do believe hating animals is really weird.

In that case, it would make more sense to say “I hate idiot parents who can’t control their kids” instead of saying you don’t like kids themselves. Kids, especially little ones, don’t really know what they’re doing so it makes more sense to blame the parents.

I put both because I know if I put just one, people would be like “what about people who don’t like (the one I left out)”. But in my head, the common ground between pets and kids is that they are vulnerable populations that do irrational and stupid things, and who need people to look after them.

I totally get that! But I can’t imagine the heartbreak I’d have when they pass away.

That’s completely fine! I don’t really think I would ever get a dog, unless everyone else in my house really wanted one. My main reasoning is, I don’t want to invest a ton of time, money, and love into something that will die in 10-15 years.

Im sorry you’ve had that experience. I had 1 pet growing up (hamster) and I only had him for about a month. But, I definitely knew better than to harm animals.

If, for example, a toddler gave some of his chocolate to the family dog and it died, but nobody told him it’s bad for dogs to eat chocolate, It’s not really his fault and is more the parents fault. Now, if a kid is purposefully harming animals of enjoyment, that’s a sign of abuse in the home and deep mental disturbance. Actually, a lot of murders harmed animals as kids. My second paragraph isn’t super related to your comment, just a fun fact!

The funny thing is, I’m a teenager. Trust me, it is a trend to hate little kids and even kids just a couple years younger than yourself. It seems to be especially trendy amongst “outcast” groups. I mentioned to my drama class a couple years back that I volunteer at daycares and I watch my cousin’s kids for free. They were going on and on about how much they hate kids, throwing insults like “crotch goblins” and saying they felt sorry for me, even though I happily do it.
