I don't like babies

[AstylahAthrys]

I hate babies at times. I love babies at times. When they're stinky and screaming and crying, they are horrible. When I get to hold them and make them giggle and play with them, I freaking love them. I'm 20, not ready to have kids myself, but I'm an aunt to 4 cute kids, 2 of which are still babies, and it's amazing. I get to do all the fun stuff while my sister does all the work! I love being an aunt.

I have friends who are having babies and I'm like "Ha, good luck with that." Their lives are over. At least they waited to graduate high school.

Me - no. If I want to eat out, I either A) get Takeout so that I can eat the same food at home without subjecting a group of strangers to my potentially crying child, or B) I get a fucking Baby Sitter to watch my kid while I'm out.

I may never meet you, but thank you. Serously, a child/baby crying ruins my dinner/lunch faster than anything else. It bothers me to no end. Now I mean Chuck-E-Cheese or something like that, sure fine that's their place. But if I order a 15$ steak, please let me enjoy it!

OT: Entire team is babies = I don't like babies.

I know, right?

I mean, I love my kid, but if I'm eating out, I don't want him interrupting my dinner with his crying either.

Baby Sitters. Totally worth the expense.

Is it wrong that when I read that title, i sang "I love them, yeah" at the top of my lungs?

So I take it this is your reaction to holding one?

Lots of people don't like babies. I don't, particularly. They're alright when they're smiley and clean, but usually they aren't. My last proper ex freaking hated them.

She was kinda mental which probably undermines my point a bit but yeah... lots of people don't like babies, women included. Don't trouble yourself about it. Grit your teeth and put up with everyone's spawn if you absolutely have to. Certainly don't think you're odd because you don't have maternal instincts.

 

[Strazdas]

why would anyone like babies?

 

[deathzero021]

yeah i don't like em much either. annoying little things. so needy and greedy. what kinda lazy bastard just sits there and demands someone else put food into THEIR mouth? talk about selfish.

I am easily irritated by infants.

My sister routinely brings over her kid to my parents house for dinner. And, I`m not gunna say I hate the kid but, honestly, I want nothing to do with him until he`s like 5 years old. I plan on being an awesome Uncle, but right now, he`s just another baby that cries for 20 minutes when a dog barks, repeatedly bangs plastic items on the table, and if he`s not crying he`s still making loud fucking noises.

Another thing I can`t stand about babies is that when someone brings one over, IT`S ALL THEY EVER TALK ABOUT. I was at a big family dinner last month and enjoying it until my sister shows up with her kid, and for the next 5hrs, the only subject was `The baby`. I`m sorry sis, I don`t find your `little bundle of joy` all that interesting for even a 20 minute discussion let alone several. fucking. hours.

I`m not gunna pretend that I think I`m right. Actually I feel like a huge asshole ever time I have to close my eyes and take a deep breath.. But I can`t help it. Babies annoy the shit out of me.

Society says

Society says too many things, society would be better off keeping its mouth shut.

I can see them growing up to be self centered, whiny, cruel, and selfish. At least sharks don't grow up to bully and be cruel; they just hunt, because it is their nature.

Yeah this is pretty much the reason I don't want to have a child. And it is 40% of the reason why I would want to adopt a child if I did have a child...so I could PICK a girl. After going through highschool having a baby boy is the last thing I would want, because I know what they turn into when they get older.

I don't really find human infants cute. Baby bunnies, yeah, but not humans. So I feel that same way as you do when a baby or baby pictures are brought into a room, I kind of go "yeah, that wrinkled ball of flesh is sooooo cute. I love the way it cries all day and when it cries even LOUDER when it doesn't get its way...love it." :/

Only old people have the ability to love babies.

Babies...
Those unfinished little egomanics, only teenagers are worse. So far, every human being ever in existance has been a baby, what is so speacial about them?
Maybe its the fact that they have their whole life before them, they could be anything, the next einstein, picasso or the next hitler.
A little package of possiblities. Even most of them will just be the next nobody, like most of us. But they could, they could.
For the mother its clear, if I invest more than nine months into something (and my health and physical comfort) then it better be good, or I just try to believe so really hard.
But as im getting older, nearing mid twenty, some of those little creatures start to be cute, only some.

Well they are egoists, they take and take and wont give (besides if they look at you then in that special way). Why would a group trying to survive invest energy in that? I guess at some point an instinct kicks in, making you a moron for procreations sake.

Whenever pictures of a baby are brought out, I feel awkward. Society says as a woman I should gush and be enthralled by them spitting up their food while eating. I especially feel almost broken when there is a baby present and everyone around me is jiggling things in its face and doing "baby talk". Youtube videos of babies doing things reach millions of views and I wonder why I don't have that maternal instinct.

I should have prefaced this saying that I would love my future child, but I wouldn't expect people to be amazed with my child either, especially after something banal like them using a diaper. Baby animals of all kinds are very cute to me. Perhaps that is because when I see a human baby, I can see them growing up to be self centered, whiny, cruel, and selfish. At least sharks don't grow up to bully and be cruel; they just hunt, because it is their nature.

Then there is all the marketing that uses babies and play on people going crazy over them.

So when a baby is brought out, I feel pressured to act like I care. I feel like Elaine from Seinfeld when she is around babies. Who else?

Well to be fair most newborns of any species doesn't look attractive. Have you ever seen newborn puppies or kittens they look like little shaved rats. They're not attractive at all, humans grow a lot slower than most animals so their germination period from being ugly, to as you put it being cute is much longer.

As for me personally kids annoy the crap out of me, if I'm ever forced to look after kids there will be a world wide shortage of NyQuil.

Baby animals of all kinds are very cute to me. Perhaps that is because when I see a human baby, I can see them growing up to be self centered, whiny, cruel, and selfish. At least sharks don't grow up to bully and be cruel; they just hunt, because it is their nature.

This is false humans are not alone in the being a bully/cruel a$$hole department far from it. Sharks especially they don't need to be hungry or feel threatened in order to strike, most predatory fish don't. Just throw an African Cichlid in a community tank, it will swim around and kill everything just because.

Fish aren't the only ones in the being a prick department. Hippos are mean as $%&^$ they're the number 1 human killer in Africa. Animals aren't just cruel to other species tho just look at any litter of almost any animal, they'll all pick on the smallest/weakest of the group.

Also not all animals are cute, for instants baby snakes/alligators come to mind and they really stop being cute when they latch onto you with those sharp little teeth, trust me and I didn't even get into the insect world, maggots are not cute.

It's good that you feel that way, and i wish more did. It seems to be a huge socitial pressure that everyone must have at least one child and if not they are shunned. But in this day and age we really don't need more people being born, looking at overcrowded orphanages full of perfectly decent children that no one will adopt, because they'd rather have a horrible 9 month experience just to pass on their superior genes to a child in that stupid arbitrary way.

More to the point, i don't like babies, and i don't like children. I don't see the point, i have no intention of ending my free life to raise one, in a world where we have far far far too many already.

 

[lRookiel]

I fucking hate children, babies included.

 

[Jenvas1306]

a terrible thing are motherships (so called by me) women whos only purpose seems to give birth and raise children and most of them dont even do it so well. It simply makes me sad...

 

[Dr. Doomsduck]

Babies are cute.

I just...maybe I have some maternal instinct but when I see one I just go "D'awwww look at the tiny alien!"

I'm the same about kids and yes, even teenagers. It's just cute watching them figure out shit in life that you already know.

That doesn't stop me from feeling like this every once in a while:

That's priceless! I have to try that with one of my cousins! XD

 

[disgruntledgamer]

I made the mistake of saying unborn children lead a parasitic existence...even though it's technically correct. TECHNICALLY the child can only live in the womb of it's host (ie mum), cannot exist on it's own, takes nutrience, and doesn't give anything in return (no, "love" doesn't count). This is not unlike the worms I see crawling around in vomit/puke of pets :3. I've only found one mother who actually understood what I was talking about and actually said I was right lol. I get the same kind of response when I call white tigers "mutants" (because...yanno, they are). Calling a beautiful, sacred thing such an "ugly" word. Just some food for thought.

Technically this is NOT correct both in definition and the fact that having a child reduces the risk of breast cancer significantly if you have a baby before the age of 30. Also health problems such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and polycystic ovaries are also decrease or lessen regardless of age.

So there are heath benefits for having children, however ladies be careful who you have it with because new studies show that male DNA from having a babies can wind up in your brain. So if you find you really dislike your Significant Other you just might end up with his Y chromosome swimming around your head... FOREVER!

I wouldn't say hate is the right word so much as indifference; I find it hard to muster hatred towards something that has less self-awareness than my cat. That said I do hate the noise they make and I really don't see the fascination/what exactly is supposed to be so 'cute' about them, in fact I'm kinda creeped out by them if anything. Then again I don't really have much affinity for kids in general. I don't really see the appeal, but to each is own I guess.
