to not like your children?

[CarolCervix]

they are always a bit smelly, dirty and make stupid noises.

they irritate me and whine when i kick them.

other people's children's parents are also irritating when they expect me to enjoy their smelly, dirty, stupid-noisy offspring.

AIBU to not like your children?

YANBU at all

My mate bought me a book called "I hate other people's children"....because basically I do

Hey,you are right! Other peoples children are smelly,dirty and make stupid noises.How is that they are also 'gifted' according to their parents?

YANBU.

My DC are obviously perfect. Their snot is not gross, the smell of their poo is inoffensive, when they bundle your PFB to the ground it is just high spirits, when they snatch a toy they are just sticking up for themselves as they were clearly playing with it first.

Yours, on the other hand...

Yabu.

I'm quite fond of other peoples children. I get more sense out of other children than my own.

i'm not mad keen on my own even.

lol, YANBU.

I dont even like my kids sometimes so other people's kids have no chance.

CarolCervix,
I've never met yours but i've taken a dislike to them already!

No but by same reasoning IANBU to dislike people who dislike my children.

I'd almost certainly like your children though, very few I do not in fact.

oh you wouldn't Peachy. they are quite horrid.

Are you on nights again grumpy?

tazer them.

Nah sane I think.

Does anyone really like other people's children

Other people's children always contain more snot than mine

Some have permanent candles attached to their nostrils

done sodding nights. now back on bloody days. have to go in a sodding bastard hour. i'm thinking of retiring.

anyway.

children are just pointless and mostly nasty. i just can't imagine why

a. people want to have some to start with

and

b. why they then expect other people to like them.

I would Carol, really: yet to meet one I don't like. Well OK one- but it took a LOT for that to happen LOL

In fact as a rule the more challenging the better. It's the prissy pampered ones I find hardest!

Peachy - you are very weird.

Haha no not at all!! I only really like my DS. He has some friends that I tollerate every now and again but no tbh I don't like children. They take up too much time, effort and being nice to when I don't want to be.

Thank God.Im normal-ish.Ive never liked other peoples dc's all that much.I have avoided friendships due to their children being not to my likeing.
Mine are bad enough but OTHER PEOPLES! bah.
They all have the same annoying trits as mine but i dont feel i have to suffer them as i do my own.
When i was pg a dear friend came with her 3 yr old.He proceeded to jump,unchallenged off one end of my sofa to the other narrowly missing my huge bump. I never asked her again.

But at least if your're at work the sodding kids won't be there!

Yep, I am

I like me though so it is OK!

YANBU at all. I can't stand other people's children. Jeez I can only just about stand my own and that's only because I know they'll grow up soon enough.

There are few children I like. I suffer my own, they look good in photos and when they are asleep

I positively love the nephew and niece - they are teens and quite sensible too. They stay well way from me and they can blow their own nose and wipe their one nether regions

Not at all. Up to you.

AIBU to think that I probably wouldn't care for you too much either?

i think im just weird cos there are very few kids i dont get on with,although filthy nit ridden swearers cross the line
