Is it normal to hate a kid?

My neighbour has two kids: her fiance is the father of the her 1 year old but not the father of her EVIL 5 year old! let's call him Damien. Pissing and spitting everywhere is just the tip of the iceburg for this gangster, sorry i meant youngster! but for some reason i fell bad for hating him, I mean he's only 5yo! I've banned them from bringing Damien to my house and when I go into their home: I try not to make any eye contact with him (As he tends to swear and treaten visitors). He's like a an out-of-control pitbull! Every time I visit them he finds a new way to TOURTURE his baby brother! I've NEVER seen a baby bleed so much!! On my last visit: he actually stood on the stairs so he was tall enough to take a swing at his mum's face! and when she told him off for it: He looked her dead in the eye and announced "I will kill you". His fist was raised and everthing!

He clearly has been raised wrong.
He clearly wants attention because he feels left out of the family.
But with these things in mind: he is cearly EVIL.
My girlfriend said you cant give up on a someone sooo young, she said that it's not normal to hate a kid.
So the question must then be... Is it normal to hate THIS kid?

    Just a guess here... but I'm guessing your neighbor divorced that child's father because he was beating her.

    That's how a five year old exposed to domestic violence acts, and yes, it's just as wrong to hate him for being abused as it would be to hate his mother for having been abused. Having the people around him reject him for acting out isn't going to stop him from acting out and will most likely make the behavior escalate.

    You have to remember that this child isn't acting *on* his feelings, he's acting *out* his feelings. The difference between the two is that acting on feelings makes your actions a genuine reflection of your emotions. Acting out feelings isn't. He could be anything from hungry to bored, but if the only way he's been shown to deal with stress is by acting violently, that's going to be how he acts out whenever he feels *any* stress.

    He's not bad or mean. He's a victim of domestic violence.

      Hey zEropoint I totally agree with your statement. You made a good sound and caring statement.

  • No. A 5 yr old doesn't just become that way for no reason. Something really awful must have happened to him. Instead of thinking of him as a monster, think about how much worse the person who hurt him must have been.

    Completely normal. My friends kids are loud, annoying and rude.

    Yup. Sacrifice the boy to appease Ba'al and let's be on our way.

    Hate his parents. He isn't developed enough to understand what he's doing. It's sad that you blame the kid for his shitty parenting.

    I put this post up because I am truly worried about this evil little future offender.

    I think his parents broke up because of infidelity on her parners' behalf. I dont know about 'physical' violence, but verbal abuse is evident and ever present. I have no idea how to convice her to make him (and herself) see a specialist!

    I think she just had him too young. maybe the original question should have been: Is it normal to hate kids of teenage parents!

    just beat him!!! some kids need a good beating.. but not too much though.
    jokes aside.. does this person have any friends/families who can support her? does she need help herself?..
    As for the kid, he sounds like he is just screaming for attention. or maybe he does want to kill his mom. kids are very honest you know :-)

    ^Agree.
    Has the child ever bern tested for a mental or learning disorder that would cause him to act out?

    Hate him? No, not right.
    Frustrated, fed up, pity the parents? Yes, perfectly normal.

    Realize that this is your neighbors problem. If the two of them do not have the courage to address his issues and have him go to therapy, then its their own fault that he is the way he is. Just avoid the situation.

    Maybe your neighbor needs a nudge.

    Next time she invites you over, tell her you are uncomfortable of her unruly child and would prefer to have her over to your home (minus the kid of course).
