I ask this because I'm very biased against people who dislike kids. I instantly judge them and stop trusting what they say and start questioning their integrity. If I see any similarity between my actions/attitude and theirs, I usually question my attitude too. More than once I found something toxic in my behviour and "fixed" it, after detecting a similarity with them.
To this day, my own interospection shows me whenever I'm cynical, negative, too pessimistic, selfish, hopeless, and generally crap, I have less interest in being with kids. And being with them is always the ultimate remedy, even for suicidal thoughts.
They are bombs of joy and energy and life and hope, even when they are slightly vicious. They build and destroy carelessly, move around, DO things instead of thinking and overthinking. They are never petrified and stagnant. IF they are ever terrified of moving and playing, 8 out of 10 times it's a sign they are with an abusing motherfucker - someone who hates kids and would rather put them in cages than see them explore the world freely and break a thing or two in their way.
To me it's exciting to see them examine and break things. To them, it's the end of the world and a reason to blame and label them for the rest of their lives.
And yes, I'm aware kids can be bullies. But bullies are usually imitating some old fucker at home. They learned labelling and physical abuse somewhere.
So yeah. What say you? Do you hate kids? Why would you?
P. s. And yes, I've been with many kids and helped grow my little cousin up from age 0-3 (almost 4) and later was his math and art tutor for years. I practice what I preach.
19 men said No, 4 men said Yes.
10 women said No, 7 women said Yes.
Women's ratio here is horrifying and disgusting.
