to hate other people's kids?

[SuperSmartMum]

They just fuckin wind me up - I know my two can be a pain but at least it's bearable as they're mine and I can forgive them their annoyingness.

It's other people's kids I hate - well, I don't really hate them (hate is too strong a word) but most of them do wind me up.

Either whiney, too annimated and theatrical, messy, rude, obnoxious, annoying little traits etc

Anyone else feel like this sometimes?

Yep, most of the time but always temper it with the fact that for every kid I find intensely irritating there will be an adult who finds mine just as bad.

not really, but i work with kids so that would be bad

do you mostly mix with poncey kids?

YEs I hate yours

It's school tomorrow, haven't you got an essay to finish?

Er, no. Do you?

yes, Im crap with other peoples kids, and do you find that once you have children everyone expects you to like all children, i dont like other peoples children, i love mine but other peoples get on my tits!

I like theatrical children.

you dont get out from your bridge much do you?

dittany - I'm all for feminism but surely there's nothing more feminist than being in complete power where because of the way you dress or how you act or what you look like, you make yourself more attractive to men who may want to marry you. Particularly if the men are good looking or have really good jobs or position of power.

You seriously need to get a life

CaptainPicardsPineapple - Oh, I know that. I know that some other parents look at my kids and think, 'How annoying' - but I can understand that. Even I think they can be right little pains sometimes - it's just easier to accept when it's yours.

Actually, I can't stand other people's children either.

And I hate being asked to 'look after one'.

again.

incase my sister is on here

SSM - No YANBU they are all bastards (apart from mine).

I don't hate everyone else's dc...just yours!

Ergo - you must hate mine too

what I can't stand are the reformed children haters who then have one and it's the most precious being to have ever been born and they feel the need to tell other children loving parents' kids off for even breathing in precious baby's direction........and their dc's godparents......big mistake, HUGE

Christ I hope you've been wearing a hard hat OP. Sorry I can't lend you mine but I need it myself because I have no time for other people's children either. I like the select few, generally older children I've known for some time, (a dear friend's DD and DS, pals to my own DC are as good as family) but most, especially younger ones... no.

I'm sure that someone will come along and add that they don't like mine either but that's okay, I can handle that!

Was in a coffee place today, waiting for DS who was late as usual

Four women having coffee, two children. The children started screaming loud and long. The women ignored them. They carried on screaming, drowning out the muzak, our conversation, everything. Still no action. Bloody inconsiderate parenting IMO.

Yes I hate other peoples children too. Sometimes.

I dont hate other peoples children but i do think the sun shines out of my daughters bottom!

I also get annoyed with people who dont address their own childrens behaviour eg. 3 year old boy purposefully picking up a piece of play equipment and hitting my 1 yr old daughter with it in full view of his mother who did nothing. I got really angry but just took the piece from him and moved my crying bubs away whilst scowling at the mother.

sorry that had nothing to do with original post!

GRRRR..most rude,gossipy, arrogant GIRLS get on my nerves yes and mostly because their parents fuel it! I've already scarred my daughters for life making them constantly look over their shoulders for anything they say...to have moral compulsion and "do the right thing" ,not hurt people or leave them out...and you know what that has gotten me? a lotta people saying "what lovely girls i have" and all the other friggin obnoxious kids id whip into shape if mine, walk all over mine ,cheat off of them, very competitive frenemies...! Dont do it moms, do not teach your kids to be nie becase they will just finish last; let your girls be aggressive little b*tches. the right thing aint worth it and in this competitive world it is the sneaky ones who will allllllways get ahead (and their mother's are not "playing them down" all the time like i was taught to do) NO, just brag n lie that everything they've ever done is naturally pleasing...even the teachers these days go with the alpha girls becase they get ahead any way they can and make them look better.

No.I can in all honesty say I have never met a child without some redeeming feature that makes them likeable.
(Irritating sometimes though)

Kids are Ok by and large.
Their parents are an other matter

I find giving them Skittles shuts them up.

I used to live in Chiswick, and have left many a restaurant/coffee shop because of 'other peoples children'.
Specifically those of Chiswick yummy mummys, a species to be avoided. So much so that I have moved to the South coast to get away from it!
The smugness of these women letting their little darlings behave rudely, run around, get in the way of the waiters is extraordinary.
However although it makes me mutter malevolently about the children into my cappucino, it is probably the Mothers I loathe , not the little darlings.

Exactly Zazen, although I am aware that I was once a Chiswick Mummy myself, however my children were not obnoxious. Obviously.
