As the mother of 5-year-old twin boys, I think that perhaps you are making blanket statements, as it were, and labelling all or most children as unspeakable piles of crap.
I feel almost insulted on behalf of my sons!
At age 5, they know as much as is possible about politics (we're quite a political family) for their life experience. One of the boys has his heart set on being a lawyer when he grows up, and he asks plenty of questions and loves going to watch court trials with my hubby's older brother (a lawyer). Already he is a wizard at debating.
The other hopes to grow up and become a doctor, and he also loves researching about the human body.
As for believing in Father Christmas, I really do think that it's quite unfair for you to blame kids for their faith. It is the parents, and general adult society who brainwash young'uns. How are they supposed to know better?
Personally, my husband and I made a conscious decision to tell the truth about St. Nick, so as not to teach the twins to lie. Maybe if we lie, thet'll pick up on it, and end up deceiving - just as we would be doing.
I don't see how chidren are smelly, either. At such a young age I think that they are just learning about life, about being on this planet and looking, and exploring, and seeing.
Perhaps you might cut them some slack?
It is only natural that kids aren't as intelligent or learned - but they certainly aren't dumb. To stress the point that I made above, they are just new people, fresh beings on the planet.
Of course kids can be a right pain in the you-know-where, too! I do agree that they are little tormentors at times - wow, there's moments when I could do without one twin screaming for chocolate and the other for cheese; but we were all children once.
Is it normal that I hate children?
