To not be able to deal with other peoples children?

[mrsshears]

I have posted about this before,however i seem to be getting more and more intollerent of other peoples children.
In social situations,my own dd's play dates and basically everywhere else,i just find them intensely annoying,the noise,the craziness etc.
Am i on my own in this? i feel mean saying it but its true,i dread situations that involve other peoples children,AIBU?

Funny though, what you've said is pretty much in line with DP and I have pontificated to each-other that we would do were we parents after a particularly draining bout of OPC.

Particularly your point in P4. I think this is why my sister is having such a nightmare with my DNs behaviour, they have just given her too many choices, too much involvement in the mechanics of her own discipline, and now she's impossible to manage.

I will remember what you've said. Thank you.

YANBU.
I think as parents we warm most to OPKs that act most like our own children.
My kids are loud, badly behaved and always filthy. Therefore it's the quiet, clean, well- behaved ones that I'm always suspicious of.

I like alll the noise and the craziness tbh but it depends on your personality type. I work with it and people always say dont know how you cope with all the noise but you dont even register it after a while.

I think a lot of peopledo generally love kids and arent lying. 1000s of people do it as a job on the miimum wage they wouldnt do it if they didnt love being with kids, as there are 1000s of 'easier' jobs for the same money, or significantly but nowhere near as fulfilling

‎'The fanatic narcissistic personality is basically a structurally defective paranoid personality with prototypal narcissistic features that are deeply interwoven. Persons with this narcissistic/paranoid mix seek to retain their admirable self-image; act in a haughty and pretentious manner; are naively self-confident, ungenerous, exploitive, expansive, and presumptuous; and display an air of supercilious contempt and benign arrogance toward others.' Remind you of anyone?

I quite like noisy boisterous kids .

I only dislike my own.

If you can't be noisy,boisterous and full of the joys of life as a child its a bit sad really

YANBU. I like other people's dogs, cats etc, but not their kids.

I like kids to have a bit of something about them tbh

I can't imagine any of mine sitting doing tapestry

Really Usual? Ds was doing a oil on canvas earlier on his ds.

One thing is for sure,you may think your children are lovely but after your lovely child has been for dinner,whined for 2 hours and passively bullied my child,I don't particularly, like them.

I have to say in my job I do have the best rapport for the noisier, boisterous kids as they have bigger personalities.

Mine used to love embroidering church kneelers when they were bored.

tapestry. Mine could never be as awful as i was as a child. My brothers and i, tried to run electricity into our den at the back of the garden.

We blew the fuses of every house in the street. Every. House. .
we were bastards tbh.

Most children are bastards at some point though aren't they?

I pity my nan with her 5 bastards.

One of my aunts got a doll for Christmas and hated it.Boxing day was greeted with this dolls head hanging from the porch.

My father and his brothers spent lots of time trying to make bombs from weedkiller in their father's shed.

It's makes for stories to pass on though.Bless all the 'orrible children of this world.

I'm sure my dd annoys other parents actually as she is that child,the one who always does as she is told,has never been in time out etc
Having said all that she still knows how to have fun without misbehaving.

Am sleep-deprived, bit low and struggling to engage with babies / preschoolers other than our own two, and them too at times!

Feel guilty, not so much about friends' DC, but about our nieces and nephews, who are lovely babies / toddlers (too little to be unruly!) - feel I should feel more love / warm and fuzzy towards them and make big effort with them IYSWIM. Think is just lack of energy and hoping feelings will change when start to get a bit more sleep......

aahh now dd1 is 14 and has always been a different kettle of fish to dd2, i could tell a few stories there....

My kids were generally well behaved when they younger and were with me ,what they did when they were let loose in their teenage years I really don't want to know about tbh

I find I am not that keen on other people's children. There are some days I am not that keen on my own. There are a few (and I mean few) that I do really take a liking to.
I also find I am the same with other people's dogs.

On a good day, they are up there with fingers down a chalk board after five minutes.
