Why would someone HATE kids?

Not sure where you were going with this discussion LOL. You say you have 3 kids and can't understand why someone would hate them. Has someone said something to you recently about hating kids? I have decided with my hubby not to have kids but it's not because I don't love them, it's because we are both 40ish and don't feel it's the right age to start a family now as we've already got various health problems and don't want to be in our 60s when our kids are going off to uni. I don't know why people would hate kids but I can imagine young people, say, teenagers, saying in the heat of the moment "I hate kids, I'm never having any!" but years later they will feel very different. Don't worry about anyone who tells you they hate kids, it's their loss. Kids are a blessing and those who have them are very lucky indeed. Peace. xx

Hey, Nita, some people just don't like kids, because they are sat in the own ways, and don't like a lot of noise. My husbasnd is like that, he doesn't like the Grandkids to come over because they make too much, noise, He doesn't have kids of his own, Those are his step-grand kids. when ever he does that I half to get him strait and tell him, Look! those are my grand-kids, you deal with me you deal with them. I am so crazy abut my daughters fratenal twin boys, the are so cute. but you half to watch them like a hawk,they get int everything, terrible 2's.

Well I really do not know why and how People can hate Kids as I certainly can't But I think there is more People about now that hate Kids then there has been in the past

I have heard of this. I believe that some people hate children, because they hated themselves when they were young. If you are constantly abused and made to feel like you are bad or in the way-just not wanted overall. You can start to feel like kids are not good. When you get older, even though, deep down you know it is not true, on the surface you may not want children and push them away, because of how you were treated as a child. This is just one reason.

This is a question I ask every time I see a news story about another child being murdered. There are just some people out there that are sick and selfish. Being the mother of five kids myself I could never understand what would drive a parent to commit such horrible crimes agains their own babies.

I think saying you hate kids is just about like saying you hate people with brown hair! Kids are people, they are individuals, and therefore you might dislike some of them, and like some of them.

I can understand if people don't want kids, even disliking them but I can't imagine how anyone could hate kids as a general rule. Maybe someone has had a bad experience as a child or with a child and thinks that will always happen. I know of someone who appears to actually be scared to have children and says they hate them. I think the actual reason for them not wanting any is because they were abused or neglected as a child and feel they might end up doing that to their child. Possibly even that they felt they were never loved and have convinced themselves that they would not love a child. Maybe by instilling it into themselves that they hate kids, it makes them feel better. I can't imagine that someone could genuinely hate kids even if they don't like them or want any of their own.

How can any one hate their children?? i dont think any one could ever do so...or do u think or seen someone doing as such? Even for me when i will be a guardian i will never let any of my children feel that i hate him/her cz the truth is i will not be able to live without them...

I chose not to have any children but I helped raise a few and thank goodness they all turned out to be wonderful adults. I personally have nothing against kids in general and I certainly don't hate them, but I'm finding that so many children are incredibly rude today. It could just be the neighborhood I guess, though that shouldn't matter. I live in a very poor end of town. I grew up in this neighborhood and none of us acted like these kids do. My garage and driveway face an alley. I rarely go more than 2 or 3 mph down the alley because of all the kids who ride around on their bikes and don't pay attention. A few weeks ago I was coming down the alley and a kid from down the street came flying out on his bike from behind a garage. Didn't even look to see if a car was coming. I slammed on my brakes and missed him by less than 2 ft. He stopped and looked at me and flipped me off! He couldnt' have been more than 7 or 8 yrs old. The very next day a group of 5 kids, ages 14-15 were standing at the end of the alley just hanging out. As I go to drive past them one of the girls turned around, looked right at me and purposely stepped right out in front of my car! I had to slam on my brakes and came to a stop about 5 inches from her legs. She didn't bat an eye, just stared at me daring me to get out of the car. I rolled down my window and said, "Will you please get out of the way?" She said FU, slapped the hood of my car while they all stood there laughing at me. She went back to chat with her friends like nothing happened. Oh I so wanted to get out of the car and kick her butt. It might have even been worth a trip to jail to teach her some manners! LOL. This kind of behavior is the norm here. Not all, but many have no manners, no common courtesy, and actually go out of their way to be as rude as possible. It's just sad. Then again, I had a teenager who looked like the biggest thug off the street help me at the grocery store a few days ago and was polite as could be, even called me ma'am. I thanked him and complimented him on being so nice. I even gave him a cookie out of the bag I had just bought. I just wanted to hug the kid! LOL. It all depends on the parents I guess. If they care, they raise kids who care. For the most part I don't regret being childless. I don't hate kids at all, but there are so many out there who make it real difficult to like them.

I have never met a person who hate kids. There are some people who do not go overboard to love kids but hating kids is something I have not witnessed. You have perhaps met some people who hate kids and felt concerned about it. I will only say, people are people. Give my love to your kids. May God bless them.

i don't understand that either. but have heard people say that. it's hard for me to like other people's kids sometimes, but it's a control issue with me...i can't control other people's kids, they're not my kids to discipline...i really mean discipline, not control, but you catch my drift. so when kids are running around stupid at wal-mart...and their mom just stands there, i get upset...and dislike those kids, haha! but my son is my world... but there are mother's who carry their children full term, then want to deny them after, like being pregnant was such a drag and yuck, now a kid to take care of? i thought you were supposed to bond with your child in the womb, but it's just not for everyone! it breaks my heart to hear those kind of stories/remarks.

I think that people who do not want children are at least being honest with themselves, but anyone who can hate a person jsut becasue of their youth is beyond me, like yourself I love my child with all my heart, and would go to the ends of teh earth adn back to help her if I had to. I know some people find the noise, crying ect annoying but then there is so much more to children especially young ones, there honestly for example, the light in their eyes when tehy discover something new that we woudl take fro granted. I think hatred is such a straong word, but unfortunately there are some people out there who seem to hate without knowing teh reasons themselves.

I don't like kids. I don't like other peoples kids. I wouldn't say I necessarily "Hate" kids. I have two nephews. I generally like them. Except when they start whining or pouting or crying or being bratty. ha ha. They just aren't my thing. I don't know if I want to have kids or not. I'd imagine having my own kids would be different than tolerating others kids. I worked in a daycare. I didn't mind it but some kids I just did not like at all. I also don't oogle over strangers kids. cause like.. i don't know. i don't know this kid, why should i oogle? who cares if it's cute or whatevs. I have a few friends who don't like kids. Don't want to have kids and don't like kids whatsoever. obviously, as you have kids, you wouldn't understand. It's like, some people hate Arsenio Hall. Some people like Arsenio Hall. Some people love cold weather. Some people hate cold weather. Some people like dogs. Some people Hate dogs. Some people like kids. Some people don't.

I think that is any "infancy trauma", when that type of person wasn't loved, and he/she starts to hate kids, but when a child enters in him/her life, they change the opinion, and start to love children.

I think childrens are Gods gift and it is not possible to hate them.I dont have any childrens not yet and my wife is pergnent and anxiously waiting for the first kid.

Look, I have nothing against people having children, I love children, but for me to ever have children, it may never happen. I am just not mother material.

Kids are fun, lovable but still you find people who can be cruel to them. After that I had my son, I have become more sensitive to child's issues.

I don't understand how any one can hate kids either. I love people in general. I see beauty in everyone. KIDS especially. They are a blessing. I think that people who hate kids must not like them self too much either.

i know what you mean that just maked me furious. i have 3 children to of my own and 2 adopted ones and i love them all more then anything in this world and i would do anything to make sure that they had what they needed my adopted daughters are 17 and 19 i'm 27 my 17 year old is pregnant right now. i love kids very much and i can t see how anyone could hate something so precious

Children are gifts from the Lord, as the bible states. They are innocent and must be loved. There are times they could not relate to mature people like us. So all we have to do is understand and teach them the good things in life and not hate them.
