Anyone else find babies and little kids unbearably annoying?

Post Reply New Topic

Depends on if they're raised properly, because most kids these days seem to have behaviour issues, i also hate it when the kids here play soccer and use the iron fence as a goal past 10pm :/

I am not a big fan of children under the age of ten or eleven. The very young ones are too noisy, energetic, sticky, distractable, and get into everything; their screeching is agonising. The slightly older ones are only slightly better because while they don't scream quite as much anymore, they haven't lost their energetic distractability... or stickiness. Plus I find it very uncomfortable talking with them since I don't know how to communicate with that age-level. Ten and up is generally okay because by that point they have learned restraint, and can participate in slightly more adult conversation. Needless to say, I do not want children of my own.

I like children but I can only take them in limited doses, especially when they're noisy.

In 2011, I had a several month-long burnout due to two noisy children that were in the house from November to January. Daily sensory overload, daily shutdowns, 12 shutdowns across three consecutive days including Christmas. I have no desire for any of that.

Well, babies are cute, but only when they're quiet/sleeping. Younger children are ok if they're like me as a child - quiet, cute, respectful.
But I HATE children screaming around or playing loudly.

I don't mind certain kids once I am established to them, for example like if I had a good friend who had kids under the age of 6 and I knew them and they knew me, if they aren't the hyper, loud sort. But I still don't like kids in general, under the age of 6. I find them too unsettling for me. I remember when we had a family get-together at our house, someone brought their 2 kids who were 3 and 5, and the 5-year-old had such a loud voice that my ears couldn't stop ringing, and I had to get away. But even my other relatives commented on how loud he was (after they went), so it weren't just me having sensitive hearing to it, I think everybody got annoyed with it in the end.

I love my niece, she basically saved my life. I had been so horribly depressed for about a year before she was born and was close to the edge. I remember holding her the day after she was born and feeling genuinely happy for the first time in recent memory. Shes 4 now and is starting school in september. I guess I sort of use her as a substitute for a child of my own as I dont think ill ever have any now.

BUT, yes she can be irritating sometimes when you really want peace and quiet and she WILL. NOT. STOP. SINGING. HANNAH. MONTANA. But I think everyone feels that way about kids, dont they?

I dislike babies more than children. I have a visceral distaste for loud babies.
Kids, for the most part, just annoy me.
No wonder I never wanted kids.

We shouldn't judge all kids by the few spoiled brats around.

I've never liked babies much. It drives me crazy when I see women my age, who are often new mothers, fawn over every baby that the see. They think every damn baby they see is the cutest and most special thing ever. I don't get it. They cry, they puke, you have to change their diapers, and they have no personality.

I do like children, though. I especially like the ones in lower elementary. A lot of them seem so excited to learn and tell you what they did in school. It's cute.

i find children stressful.
i have one kid of my own and from the day he was born till around the age he was 8 i was really stressed, exhausted and going crazy
it was whole load of energy consumption
yes i would say i find smaller children uncomfortable to have around.

I like people under age 7 a lot more than people over it. They're more honest, non-judgmental and inquisitive, their emotions are simple enough for me to understand, and they don't care about the brand of clothes I'm wearing or whether I've mastered finer points of etiquette.
I have received far more genuine smiles and kindness from children in my life than from adults, and I'm a lot more inclined to show them kindness in return.

That said, a crowd of noisy, rowdy children is nearly as intolerable as a crowd of noisy, rowdy adults - just slightly less frightening.

It annoys me when female bus-drivers always look at a toddler and go, ''hello!'' in a slow, soppy voice.

I don't hate them, but I gotta say most of kids actually annoy me.

I find anybody under the age of 20 annoying, usually, especially babies and children.

I must be in the minority as I love babies and toddlers. In fact, when I see one throw a tantrum it brings a smile to my face. They have not been beaten down like the rest of us! I actually find it easy to understand children because they are like me: direct and to the point.
