I know a lot of people hate kids, but....

I don't know if this is due to age, some kind of anti-biological-clock thingy, the fact that I constantly have babies shoved in my face on Facebook, the clueless 50s-minded types who don't understand that I don't want kids, or a combination of ALL those things, but I am going through this weird phase wherein I absolutely cannot stand babies.

Baby commercials are the absolute worst, but IRL they suck, too.

Ugh. Babies.

I like babies. It's when kids are old enough that you can't really call them "babies" anymore that my opinion changes...

Yes! That's exactly what everyone else says. I know a LOT of people who haaate kids but love babies (Mike included). Seeing as I LOVE kids, I'm totally the other way around! I am part of some kind of twisted minority. XD

But it's just a phase, I'm sure. I'm sure it's just a matter of time until the hating babies feeling goes away. ;)

I don't *hate* babies, I'm a little afraid of them, to tell the truth, lol... they are just too delicate! And I'm COMPLETELY grossed out when they eat, and don't find those pictures parents seem to love to show me of their kids' faces covered with food the least bit cute, it's disgusting. As for actual kids, they are ok in small doses, I just don't have anything to say to them, lol.

Some babies are actually cute though... from a distance...

Ahhh! Babies with food all over them! SO GROSS! I get very disgusted very easily when people eat huge things and they make a mess...it's soooooo so so so gross. Last night on Doctor Who this guy was eating a sandwich in a very disgusting way and I don't know if it was supposed to be funny or not, but it was just too gross and I had to look away!!! UGHHHH

I can't hold babies either (mostly cuz of OCD) and have nooooo problem telling people NO when they ask me if I want to hold theirs. Bleh.

You know those commercials for diapers where there are babies running about and giggling? Those babies are awesome. All other babies are wrinkly and smelly and loud and not at all pleasant to be around.

I'm sorry about the ones who are clueless about why you'd not want kids. A couple years ago, I was at a Solstice party with G and two separate women asked when I was due - I was in shock and was like uhhhhhh I'm not pregnant! and they were both very apologetic, but when I told G's mum about it all she said was "Well, you're at an age where people are going to start wondering!" and I was just like...wait, when did my reproductive system become ANYONE'S business but mine!? Urgh!

I get asked if I'm pregnant every once in awhile. I used to take it in stride but now I tell people to fuck off or to mind their own fucking business, or other phrases that usually involve the word 'fuck' or 'asshole', lol. I feel SO much better that way! XD

It seems to me people forget how much of a HUGE commitment, time, and shit babies are. they aren't just something to have willy-nilly because your relationship is in crisis. there are SO many fucked up, unwanted, kids. parenting is the hugest, craziest responsibility ever. you have this tiny soul (if you're religious, if not, its still a sentient being) that you shape, form, and fuck-up with your every action. not to mention all the terrifying genetics you could pass on to your kid. like, for me and chris, if we were to procreate, our kid could be bipolar or schizophrenic. that's TERRIFYING. yet people are having kids ALL THE TIME.

and that's why im scared of babies.

I agree soooo much with what you wrote here! <3

Babies terrify me. Cousins tried to get me to hold their baby over Christmas and they might as well have asked me to hold a ticking bomb. I don't know how to relate to anyone under the age of 12 or so.

[bee-york.livejournal.com]

I wonder why people try and make other people hold their babies. It's odd. I mean...I'd understand if they'd ask, but some people just try and force you to hold their kids. o_O

THIS. It's not that I mind their existence, but I hate having to have their existence coincide with mine. Like, on the bus. On planes. At movies (movies!!!). In restaurants. All these places that are designed for adults, benefit the tiny folk in no way whatsoever, and inconvenience a maximum number of strangers possible. Ok, the bus/metro, I grant that moms (and the rare dad) should be allowed to move their small person (not the midget kind) around via public transport, but I wish there were more no-baby zones, or like handi-transit for babies. Or baby muzzles to shut them up *cough*

OMG. People who bring their babies to movies should be heckled to the point of insanity. Fuck those people! Fuck them with a rusty spork. Grrrrrr. >;/
