I find a majority of children likable enough, so long as I don't live with them. As it is, the only reasons I haven't snapped and killed the seven-year-old I do live with is because my mother and her boyfriend (the little monster's father) would hate me for the rest of eternity and society demands that children be protected.

I think it's questionable to say one of the reaons you don't want kids is because of the world population. but if you dont one them there isnt anything wrong with it.
Personally i want to have kids at some poin, though a bit in the future, i want to experience the world a bit, go bungie-jumping , quad bike over the kalahari desrt that sort of thing.
would love kids of my own though.

Children? Yeah, they're all right with a little BBQ sauce. Okay, okay, no more cannibalism jokes, no matter how tasty the runts may be...
I guess I'm supposed to be at an age where I no longer find the thought of having children horrible, but I never really outgrew that. I detest children, I truly do. They aren't precious, beautiful little angels. That's just a bunch of dopamine coupled to your instinct to protect your spawn telling you so. They scream, they yell, they destroy, they fight, they are needy, they expect praise when none is warranted, they interrupt you, etc.
Plus raising a child would cost about $500,000 total, so it's a horrible investment. Would you throw half a million at a pile of flesh that will grow to resent you? Keep the money, find some fulfilling job/hobby, life happily ever after. Alternatively, VEGAS! It's not like humanity is in danger of dying out, right?

How do I find my away around children? I stand anywhere a child isn't! HA!
But seriously, I think children are idiots. Some of them can be nice, friendly, little idiots but idiots.

Thank you for putting into words things that I wanted to say in my original post but decided against.
Don't like them. As long as they keep out of view and audible range of me, I'm fine with them, however.
That said, I have no (at least current) wish, desire, nor plan to ever, ever have any myself. I find the world to be vastly overpopulated and every single new child contributes to the problem.
Thus, I say this to all who want children; If you get one child to replace two parents, respect. If you adopt to give an orphan a home, respect. If you do both, also respect. But go about getting three new (biological, of course. Adopting is not counted) kids or more, and you end up on my passive hate-list. <<

My cousin and her two children ages 8 and 6 visited last weekend and they proved my point of why I dislike children. The 8 year old kept asking me if he could play my video games or talk to my friends that I talk to over X-box live. He would not leave me alone. The 6 year old left me alone which I am grateful for. She mainly talked to my sister.
damn, where the fuck do you live? im not shy about stating how much i hate kids, and most people i know feel pretty similar. the only one of those responses i have gotten before was some variation of "how can you hate kids, you used to be a kid." that argument always throws me off because of the sheer stupidity of that statement. a long time ago, i used to be a republican. does that make me ineligible to dislike the views and behaviors of modern republicans
Some of them are alright but most of them just annoy the hell out of me. I'm even annoyed by my own child self for being so bloody stupid.
Urgh I don't like children. They aren't all that cute and they think that they are entitled to everything. People always talk about how innocent children are but children are not innocent. It's not all their fault but at that point they haven't really developed any morals. My friend always looks at me in horror and says that I'm overly-cynical when I say I don't like kids.Darkauthor81 said:
Eh, I like kids... in a certain age range, provided I don't have any good reason to have to play extra nice. I get along with kids eight to twelve pretty well, except when I have to start being mindful of not pissing off their parents. Younger then that and they have too much energy with too little intelligence, older and well, god-damned teenagers. There's exceptions to this, both in the age range and out of it, but I find it's true in most cases.
That said, I think a decent amount of the hate of children a lot of people have stems from the social pressure to coddle them whenever they're encountered. Not to say anyone in this thread hates them because of that, but that's been the case with a number of people I've known. Don't blame anyone for it either, because hell knows I hate having to deal with any kid while their doting parents are right there.

I've got a 3 month old son now, so I find it very hard to hate children. Even before we had a kiddo, I always liked working with kids. Generally, I was teaching kids around age 10 at church and with an improv group. I can completely understand why some people loath kids though.
A solution for people who don't like kids: don't have them. You may still have to deal with other peoples' kids, but hopefully they're usually easy to avoid.
