I have never cared much for children either, this is not a criticizm or meant to offend any of you parents either, but it has been my experience most of my life that the majority of kids are the most annoying things I have ever had the misfortune of being around.
My brothers kids are not too bad, they always seem to be fairly well behaved and they are very smart, the oldest one which I believe was 4 or 5 the last time I was there, kept wanting to show me all his games on the computer, that was kinda cool, at only 5 years old.
Most kids I have ever been around want to run around and scream and make a mess of everything, or climb all over you (I freaking hate that).
Don't say that Craig! Yeah they r like that............but its part of their charm. Besides, if they would have done the opposite it would mean they don't like you, and do you really want that?
Nothing charming in my opinion about noisy rugrats that climb and drool on you, I personally prefer it when kids stay away from me, I let them know real quick that I don't like them, usually by saying to them "I don't like kids, so why don't you go annoy someone else", if this upsets the parents, I am more than happy to leave or have them leave, but most people who know me, know better than to bring their kids to my house and realize that I don't come to their house because of the kids.
if you want to criticise anyone for a childs behaviour it should be the parents
I absolutley agree with this statement, like I said, my brothers kids are cool, He has taught them about computers since they could comprehend, and they also love airplanes due to my brothers interest in aviation, but I know people who let their kids watch wrestling and shows of that nature and they always want to hit you and throw things, I don't go around those people anymore.
Actually, I would call that fun!
Not me, I can't stand the creatures, I always hated being a kid and couldn't wait to grow up, I kept to myself for the most part because I thought other kids my age acted like little retards, I only had a couple of friends growing up, it was hard to find anyone that I could relate to, or that I could stand.
I don't have any kids of my own (that I know of), and I always vowed that I would never have any, partly because I can't stand them and partly because I hated being a kid so much and wouldn't wish that torture on anyone.
Now that I am approaching 40, I think about it now and then because I sometimes wonder who I'm going to leave all the cool crap I've accumulated to when I croak, so who knows, maybe someday I'll have one of my own, but I don't know what kind of father I'd be, you can't spank your kids anymore because you go to jail for child abuse, how would you discipline them? grounding don't do sh*t, I used to love being grounded, I would sit in my room and draw pictures if I wasn't allowed to listen to music.
I always come to the conclusion that I can leave stuff to my brothers kids if I never have any of my own, I kinda like my peace of mind, and we have a lot of breakable stuff, and kids love to break things, also I have no desire to share my toys with some little brat, even if he is mine.
