I can't stop hating!

[Roofstone]

I am so sick and tired of kids. Whiny, noisy little morons that do nothing but nag and moan. Create noise and bother others.
If every child in the world spontaneously combusted and died horribly, I really wouldn't mind. I really wouldn't! I'd just "Meh" and go back to work or whatever the heck else I was doing while the horrible little bastards burned painfully.

The only thing that has on several occasions stopped me from attacking a kid in pure hate is that I'd face legal punishment.

It has reached the point where the anger makes me physially ill by the mere presence of nosy children. And yes, I have been to anger management, but it did very little.

So well, does anyone know any tips for anger/hate managing? I get so sick of just getting pissed off for no reason.

tldr: I hate kids, anger/hate management tips please?

You said you've been to anger management, but I think you should try again, or see a real therapist. Children are going to keep existing as long as you are, and you certainly can't go around being miserable or on the verge of physically assaulting them, so you're going to have to find some way to cope with their existence in a healthy manner.

Or, y'know, find a sturdy kid who wants to make some money the hard way. Better than punching a pillow.

But seriously, do what Lilani said.

I think for starters do ask yourself: what is it that you hate about them? Is it really a characteristic of the children
that you hate or is it maybe that you hate a specific little spawn of evil or what they stand for. Because from the severity that you imply, your hatred seems to be motivated by the latter two. Or in other words: it seems like the issue that makes you miserable in their presence lies somewhere else and not actually with the children in question - and I say that as somebody who doesn't like them very much either[footnote]And I do have my suspicions why that's the case for me[/footnote]. It might be prudent to really ask yourself why exactly you hate them the way you do, because, from my experience, getting into a fit about them is rarely mandated nor useful.

In closing, Lilani is right in saying that if the issue is as severe as you make it sound like talking with a therapist wouldn't be a bad idea.

Move to China. They're a lot quieter and if they get lippy, they get slapped. While I disapprove of the abuse, it is a lot quieter. Plus, parents aren't so selfish to take screaming children into cinemas and such.
