i had to hold one yesterday with a full diaper and pretend that wasn't disgusting bc she was so happy to see people. we are god's strongest soldiers.

why does the thought that some people don’t like kids upset you this much when it’s obvious that doesn’t affect how they actually treat a child? it’d be one thing if we were talking about being mean to them but we’re not lol

eh, ordinarily I might raise an eyebrow at the word choice too, but it’s pretty clear from context that OP doesn’t mean “hate” in a malicious sense, just that they don’t like being around ‘em there’s really nothing wrong with not wanting to be around babies as long as you’re still pleasant & good-natured with them when they’re near you

they are so endearing and cute to me it's just that they're so gross (because they don't know any better) and i have contamination OCD. other than that, i would be a big fan.

either way, shoutout for being able to manage the effects of your OCD well enough to be sweet with them 🫡 I respect it

I don’t think anyone “hates” babies but are probably rather annoyed by them for whatever reason. Like I don’t think anyone sees a baby in public and starts fuming 🤣

Who tf LIKES babies that are not in their own family lmao, they shriek, they make a mess, they’re generally difficult to deal with. It’s not their fault, they’re just babies, but bffr you know when you see a baby on a plane you get a little pissed at the fact that it’s GONNA cry

Clearly doesn’t impact how they interact with children. Mind your own fucking business

Tell me exactly how they made it your business? Explain how them believing they should make the world a happier place for kids despite not liking them invited YOUR expert opinion about what’s wrong with them. Disrespectfully, grow up.

Tho I guess it’s kind of like how I hate 🧃 yet will still pretend to be their friends if it benefits me

ordinarily I would report a comment like this for hate speech, but in this case it’s actually sort of convenient that you felt the need to tell on yourself, bc of how effectively it signals that your worldview is generally unreasonable and not worth listening to

tbh in my experience using the word hate is just easier than saying i resent the societal expectation for women to be maternal, have kids, and become mothers. i also just don’t really get much enjoyment out of being around them tbh. like they’re loud and gross and not very cute for the most part lol

That’s sad. But I think you’re right. Don’t rush it. Finding the right person is important

“The right person” for someone who doesn’t want kids, is someone who can see a happy future without kids. Hope this helps!

Not necessarily. All babies react to stimuli. If a person looks different at all they can be interesting. It’s like if you’ve never seen the color yellow before

then what did you mean by saying don’t rush it? what is finding the right person important for?

For life in general. If happiness is found single then great but I think being happy not alone means finding the right person.

but we’re not talking about being single. we’re talking about not wanting kids. nowhere in my comment did i say i wanted to be single forever or that im even single now. your comment makes no sense unless its read in the context of you implying once i find the right person, i’ll want kids
