i think this is just the whiner diner thats all. everyone is a kid at some point in their life get over it
I ditto Sea of grass!!! I also think it's funny that most of the people who hate kids ARE kids! I'm 36 and have lived A LOT! So if you're under 25 and don't understand or relate to kids... just wait 3 years when you're sleepless and sexless for 6 months and all you hear is shrieking through the night!!! OK, but seriously... kids are the most beautiful creatures in the world. They are full of wonder and amazement... try looking through their eyes and you'll see a better world! i.e. grow up. And the next time a kid pisses you off, give him a quarter for the gumball machine... he'll worship you! And then cold cock the parent who isn't raising the poor kid right!
You are aware that you sucked at one point then right? here's my three reasons why adults suck. 1. They lie - Just look at politicians......There that whole number one is done just by them. 2. They spend SO much money on themselves - Ciggarettes, cars, gas for cars, alcohol, drugs (if they want) 3. They make kids. I had all the other numbers but I decided they werent funny enough. EDIT: these ones arent funny either.... and i lied about having the other numbers. I just thought to mysself "damn, this is gonna take along time....I better stop now"
i don't want kids because the responsibillity, at least how i look at it now, i dont want to have another life in my hands.
Some of this list, yes, I can agree with, but only to an extent. Those things I agree with are the only ones that would apply to kids that are too young to get that it isn't acceptable or the ones that are bratty little twits. Those would be 2, 8 and 9. Any kid older than maybe 6 years old [who doesn't have any kind of autism or something] that still does that shit is most likely a brat, I agree. My 4-year-old wouldn't dream of doing that, and here's the thing. We raised her letting her know that coloring on the walls, throwing fits when she doesn't get what she wants and hurting ANY living being is nowhere near acceptable. When you raise a child knowing that those behaviors are not okay inside reasonable lines, they probably won't do it. However, you should keep in mind that everybody messes up, and children do, too. They won't always be perfect and they'll embarrass/disappoint you at one point or another. Get over it. I'm getting into the dishonest and impure part. No, they are not pure and innocent, like I said. Neither are teenagers or adults. Hell, nobody is pure. Same with the self-centered part under reasonable boundaries. Mankind is self-centered, if you think about it closely. But if all you ever think about is you, like, for example, "My mom is brain dead in the hospital after having a heart attack and stroke at the same exact time. And yet, I want to see that movie at the theaters. LET'S GO TO THE THEATER, WHOO!". That example is extreme, but is what too self-centered is. Nobody, no matter what age, should be like that. And lastly, kids have a shitty sense of humor because, if you're a half-decent parent, you wouldn't let them near sexual jokes pertaining pimps and dildos, nor would they even give a damn enough about political humor to even get the point of it, never mind have that sense of humor. Sarcastic might be a kid's style, but it gets really irritating quick if used too much, and kids do that (trust me, I was a smart ass kid, I know). Out of the four coming out of the mouth of a little kid, I'd rather have the potty humor. Also, kids don't ruin your social life or what not. They take up time, I will not disagree with that, but if they know respect, they won't interrupt you. They'll (hopefully) stay out of trouble, occupy themselves and wait until it is their turn. When you have children, they do come up in conversations, but most of the time it's briefly. We don't want to talk about our kids all the time, mothers and fathers alike get sick of them. Don't get me wrong, I love my daughter to death, but every now and then, you want to direct your attention to something else. Anyway, complaining shouldn't be necessary if I happened to say one word about my child. I don't have a problem if you don't want kids. Like the person above me said, if you hate them so much, having them would be a bad idea. In fact, not very long ago, I could've FULLY agreed with almost everything you said, but it's gone away in the last four years. The myth is fact: little ones change your perspective on a lot of things, and my perspective on them themselves was flipped all the way around.
This is too funny! I agree 100% which is why I don't plan to ever have kids. It is not bad parenting, we are not allowed to parent anymore, remember the government took that right away. Things weren't like this when I was young. Anyway, I'm not having kids because I'm completely selfish. I do not want to give them my money or my time or my energy. I don't like poop, or bathroom humor, I don't like sticky fingers, I don't like to have to tell people what to do, I don't like anything about the idea parenthood. I don't need a little me to control and to live vicariously through. I don't need the so-called "unconditional love" you feel as a parent. I need margaritas and tropical vacations and passionate flings with mystery men. But at least I know this now and I admit it to anyone who asks. At least I don't go out and have a kid because that is what everyone else is doing or because I've come to the age where I should want some screaming brat near me. I figure I'm being a great person by not having kids. Plus, if I did have a kid mostly likely I would kill it. I have a bad temper and was raised in an abusive household. I am not mentally stable so I might even off myself to escape it all.
I used to think kids were annoying and never wanted any. Changed my mind though at age 23 though. Kids are our teachers and we can learn so much from them. I think much of the brattish behaviour of many kids comes down to the consumer life we live in. Hell, Adults think they can have everything and anything so why wouldn't their kids. We need to earn our way through life by being responsible human beings.
I have to say I agree with the list and that kids in general do suck. But there have been a few I have come across in my lifetime that were awesome, well behaved, cool, generally all around great kids. So there are exceptions. I'd be more understanding of kids, I suppose, if I had been the same way. But believe it or not, I really wasn't. I was one of those "good kids" I think. I had to grow up early and fast and dealt with a lot of crap. So I wasn't really like this. But I will say one. Even as an adult, a toilet flushing, when you sit there and listen to it and think about it, *IS* funny. And I still laugh at loud farts at age 28.
I agree with most of it, I hate it when people take pride in their kids. You arent your kid. My parents would call up my friends parnets and say "omg my son got a 4.0 or he just ran a marathon yesterday." WTF they should talk about thier own lives and get friends that arent my friends parents. I will probably have a kid and put it up for adoption just so my genes can get passed on(darwin's haha) And kids cost A LOT!!! I read somewhere kids can cost 500,000- 2 million from when their born until graduated from college. wow. (room rent, food, clothes, school, sports, etc)
bless the children, it's the adults that fuck them up! children are the light. my son brings me such bubbling joy everyday. most adults just piss me off. and this post is disgraceful and full of gross people. I agree most of you shouldn't have kids because they'd be raised with negative disgusting parents.
