To find small children slightly repulsive

[BathshebaEverdene1]

OK I do love my 4 year granddaughter but sorry the chewing , gulping and gasping while eating is actually revolting .
Am I really nasty? She is here eating a sandwich and gulping down some milk in a really horrid way.

@TwattyMcFuckFace do you understand that 'IME' means, in my experience? My experience is extensive and it's exactly that, 'my experience' so tell me how the actual fuck that's racist?! Jesus...

Displaying some wilful ignorance there.
It doesn’t have a diagnostic test (yet) but it does exist. In the same way there’s no diagnostic test for IBS or CFS or fibromyalgia. But that’s not because they don’t exist either.
And fundamentally everything is a ‘made up diagnosis’ - that’s kinda how science and medicine works. Hypotheses - research - results.

Fuck's sake... try reading my comment properly.

Is she a particularly messy eater? Mine weren't really like that at 4 unless it was an unusually messy food. There was no gasping.

Likewise

Annoying because on reflection I think you must be a troll. You posted on AIBU, asked if you were nasty, used ‘horrid’ and ‘revolting’ in reference to your own grandchild, created a bun fight and have now been arguing with every single person who has pointed out this behaviour. Also lol at you referring to yourself as ‘unfailingly kind’ - this comment is what has convinced me this is a wind up. No one with an ounce of self awareness would think this was a sensible comment.

Yes, of course. Because we live in a world where being annoyed by something is now a medical diagnosis. It's ridiculous.

Ok dear. 👍

And misogynists who use repulsive slurs to try to shut women up.

Objectively toddlers can be quite repulsive. Snotty noses, always food or dirt on their chins/around their mouths, sticky hands, coughing with their tongues out and not covering their mouths, dropping food everywhere. We love them anyway, right?

Yeah I mean this isn’t imaginary, some kids are a bit revolting. I have kids and have met kids before and some of them are a bit ick, if they have poor toileting habits and are messy eaters I understand the feeling of revulsion, which is a human feeling you know might not be very kind but you can’t help but feel it - it’s not like we have an off switch for these things. I have feelings of revulsion towards one child I know and it is because they have quite disgusting eating habits (they eat everything with their fingers/nails and never use cutlery they are 9). I also feel this way about my mum

Yes - other people's children are slightly repulsive!! 😀

I could happily change my children's nappies, but on the one occasion (never to be repeated) that I had to change a friend's baby's nappy, I threw up!

My admiration for health professionals who can deal with this kind of thing every day is unbounded.

I'm even squeamish when someone hands me a slightly damp, warm baby to hold.

I do like toddlers, usually - once they're house-trained!

OP, you are being more that "nasty" IMO as that is a child - look up the definition re 'child!!!!

What gets me seriously worked up is an adult relative that makes a noise like a fart, kind of when sipping a cup of tea😂 - but honestly, I've had to leave the room at times and no one says anything to her but all lol behind her back - she is now in her early 70's and always been like that as far as I can recall

2 month old lives several thousand miles from me so I'm unlikely to have to hand the sticky mess for a few years.

This.

TBH I don't really like them at any stage!
The teeny crying stage, the sticky stage, the mouthy stage, the mentally challenged/teenage stage.
I know it's different if it's your own but I don't have any so they are always a bit unsettling to me!😁

Me to childless dont hate them just dont like drama of them.
