Does anyone else not like kids other than their own? Is it weird? I have a toddler girl, and I love her so much and have all the patience in the world with her. And I’d love to have more kids of my own someday. But other people’s kids have always gotten on my nerves; I never want to babysit them. Even other children in my family I never want to babysit or be around much.

I’m the same way! I was never much of a kid person and didn’t really plan on having any of my own but I did and I love being around them but other people’s kids are annoying. Like I don’t even want to hold anyone else baby or anything lol

Seems to be a lot of people that are that way… I babysit so kids don’t bug me much, but some very much do!
When the child is ur own it’s different lol
I’m like this when I’m at the playground with my kids 
I’m not a fan of watching other people’s kids while they’re on the phone or chatting not paying attention to their own kids. 
but I do love kids, just depends on the day.
When my kid is having a temper tantrum I rather have my nephew instead because it don’t bother me at all when he starts because I can just put him in a bedroom shut the door and sit outside cause he’s 4 my daughter is about to be 6 months old and I try everything to stop her from crying cause my god she is like a pterodactyl and it echos being in a small apartment

It depends on the kids I can’t handle bratty entitled kids that aren’t pulled up by their parents, I want to see more kind considerate children. Maybe I might like more of them…

A lot of people are this way. It’s different when it’s your kid. I know I am lol. I’m pretty sure there are people who probably feel the same about my boys, but then again I don’t usually have sitters. I am under no illusion that my sons are perfect and are definitely annoying sometimes.

People ask me all the time how I do it with kids. I have 2 boys of my own and I work in an elementary school, so I am around kids 24/7 but I love it.
Right now I’m having a really hard time with other people’s kids and pregnant people. But not for the same reason. I lost my son at 33 weeks. So all I see is what I don’t have.

Lol I’m not even sure I’m all that keen on my own half the time! Yes I absolutely love him to bits but he PEED on me tonight!!! Lol hehehe
Unpopular opinion: you can love someone else’s kids without liking them. I do not feel or have the same bond with other kids in my life, as I do with my son. And sorry Karens, there’s nothing wrong with it

I work retail it made me hate other kids also. I love my 19 month old daughter, and my friends 19 month old son is pretty awesome also, but that’s it lol
I don’t like kids, except my own. I love my son, and I like my best friends kid, and one day when my brother has kids I will love them but I don’t like other kids🤷🏼♀️
I also won’t say every kid is cute because they all aren’t so if i say a baby or kid is cute they must really be cute😂

Listen im gonna say this as nice as I can…i fucking hate other peoples children:rofl: I love my children more than anything in this world. And my nieces. But other peoples kids I just cant. But its more because the parents just let them run around tearing shit up and they don’t correct them
Im the same way i think its just a comfort thing
Love mine kids and tolerate others sorry
Yeah, I’m not patient and kids are annoying. I don’t even like to play with my own kids, and tbh they don’t like to play with me either. So… at least we are all on the same page.

There’s a difference in not liking them, and not wanting to be around them. I love all kids and I would always treat them like my own but I don’t like babysitting or being around them without their parents there or in my home where they can wreck everything

I’m the same as you. At 39, I had an unexpected pregnancy. I never wanted kids because I have never liked them or even being around them. But, my girl is the love of my life. I think it’s because she is my own flesh and blood.

My mom only liked her kids and now grandkids.
I used to love kids before I had my own. I was always the one who had all the kids at gatherings so moms could get a break and kids gravitated to me. But soon as I had my first that all changed.

I personally don’t feel this way. I mean sure there are some children I don’t enjoy because their parents are failing them Haha, but it’s not all children.
But, I have a few friends like this. They love their kids with all their heart but prefer not to be around/deal with other peoples’ children if they can avoid it.
Nothing wrong with that! As long as you’re not being needlessly mean to kids just cause you don’t like them of course XD But it doesnt sound like that’s the case Haha.

I love all the kids I know. But there are some I genuinely do not like.
The behaviors get me all types of frustrated. I’d still do anything I can for them but. Godddd they get on my nerves
Same!! Mostly it’s the behaviors that they have which aren’t being corrected by parents. It’s not so much the kids personally but the lazy parenting that goes with it lol

Im not a kid person n never have been. I avoid at all costs! I also make no apologies 4 this.
I love all kids in that if I knew one was being hurt or neglected, it makes me livid and breaks my heart every time. I love my own kids more than my own life. But I don’t much enjoy most other people’s kids, I don’t dislike them, I just don’t enjoy them like I do mine I think it’s ok so long as you’re not being a dick to the kids that you don’t much like or enjoy, it’s not their fault.

I care about them but no I don’t like them haha
I grew up raising my 2 brothers and 3 sisters due to my mother’s medical illness. I have 3 of my own whom are my All. I love All my nieces and nephews. Even the little ones that cry and have meltdowns. I emphathise and understand they can’t communicate and that’s how they let their parents know something is wrong. Jesus said to allow all children to come to him for such is the kingdom of God.

my issue is inviting all the kids over to play and have a bit of fun with my kids and drive myself nuts and happy at the same time lol
I love my kids, not so much everyone else’s.
Yes love my own kid to death… other people kids not so much
Me 100% I have a 13 year old daughter and a 15 year old son. My friends and sister have younger kids and I can only be around them for a short period everyone who knows me knows I don’t do kids
It takes a special, kind, and patient heart to love all kids. Don’t feel alone.
I can only tolerate my sisters kids lol if they aren’t kids in the family then I can’t stand them 
Wow… I am so sorry to hear that . That is very unusual. I love, love , love children . I don’t care ,boy, girl , black, white , they are so pure and innocent. To me they are ANGELS. I hear a baby laughing and is music to me. I have two sons and one grandson and they are my life, my happiness . I pray that you love children as much as you love your child.
I’m the same way I can’t stand my brothers and sisters kids they are way too rowdy like I love them but I won’t watch them my child is enough and sometimes I feel like I need a non vacation but I can handle my daughter A LOT better than I can my Nieces and nephews. But that’s not the kids fault it’s the way they are raised my brother has 6 kids so it’s hard keeping up with them and my sisters kids run all over her (her oldest 13 yrs old is rude and literally punches my sister kicks her says she’s not her mom my sister is her step mom been in her life for 11 yrs the only niece I can handle is my sisters second oldest she’s 10 and is so well behaved my brothers kids I babysat them a few times and their two oldest if the tv is on you have to yell at them to get their attention or they ignore you completely
I’m sure other people feel that way about your daughter as well.
