Is it normal to hate children??

I don't like children either. I never plan on having any.

Some say the only kids you can ever love are your own.

I don't plan on having any either lol yes they r so annoying with their whining and stuff i don't hate them it's just sometimes they can be really spoiled and bratty and annoying ugh lol

I don't hate babies or children except when they screaming their lungs out when they cry. Even a couple of minutes of listening to it irritates me.
I feel like grabbing by the neck and screaming "Shut up!".
God knows how mothers can put up with a screaming brat 24 hours a day. I'm glad I'm never having any brats of my own.

I strongly dislike children too. Mainly, 0-4yrs, and 6-15yrs. Most teenagers I'm very unimpressed with too.
I have quite few maternal tendencies, my poor boyfriend knows that, aha. I understand people fight with: but they're such joys, think of the amazing things you'll miss! You know.. first words, teaching to read and bike and early Christmases would be great, I don't doubt. The other 294 days, I would be regretting my decision, so I won't bring myself to that point. Birth would be especially difficult: I wouldn't give away my comfort (delivery, months of foot/back pain, diet change) for something purple, screaming, mucusy and likely hairy...Babies look scarily 'zombie'like at first. Grabbing, twisting, screaming...
I'm lucky to have a boyfriend who's identical in tolerance.

So yep, perfectly normal. Smile when you hear kids whiny, cause you know it isn't yours. :)
(I regret having been a difficult [though I wasn't really] kid, but I never asked to be born. I wouldn't consider myself a 'gift' by any means, surely if I were I would pop out babies like my mum, and not end the family name?)

Mothers must be the most patient people in the world. Especially if they have multiple kids...
I'm wondering if I'll ever develop that kind of patience and tolerance. It's a sign of maturity that eludes me for sure.

I wouldn't mind raising a little "Charlie", but, the Veruca Salt type of child is not for me.

All right, all you people judging, it's up to OP. She has every right to feel that way! I love my kids but, not everyone wants kids! My cousin never had kids because she doesn't like them! She's almost 50 and doesn't regret a thing! She and her husband have had a great life together doing what they want when they want! Kids aren't for everyone! Better to be honest then resentful with a houseful of kids!

Kids are great. It's unfortunately mainly upbringing that turns them into whining spoilt little brats. Mine are perfect, naturally ;)

It's ok to dislike, as long as you don't harm them or treat them bad when you have to be around them. Remember, you were a bad ass child once before, and you probably have relatives with kids. You don't want jerks treating them badly, or harming them.

I was never a 'child', so-to-speak. I was always polite and respectful to my mother, and I never threw a tantrum whenever I didn't get something I wanted. I was also smart; I understood what sharing was, I understood why adults told 'white lies', I understood things that children don't usually deal with until they're teenagers.

The one thing that has illuded me for my entire life is why parents love their children. I don't get it.

And I hate children, too. I am not psychologically unballanced because of this. It's an opinion, and there's nothing wrong with that.

i am sure your parents hated you too... with an attitude like that, they probably still do.

Weren't you one of them at some point in the past?
