(21,653 posts)I've read this entire thread with horror.
It is my opinion that the OP just does not want to be around children, which is odd since she was obviously a child once. I'd like to know what her childhood was like, and what her parents were like but she won't share that.
I have two very well-behaved adult children who are in the same age group as the OP.
They don't have children, either. But they sure as hell aren't disturbed by them.
So, as much as I'd like to be a grandfather, I respect their decisions. But just outright disliking children and compartmentalizing them in 19th-century Dickensian terms is ridiculous.
Thanks for your good post.
And I wish the OP had a little more compassion. We were all kids once, perhaps she was the perfect child to instruct the rest of us.
