(1,989 posts)But, it's never agitated me to this degree. Good grief. But, I have always attempted to remind my kids that not every adult likes kids. Not every teacher, honestly likes kids. I've met one that didn't. It was just a job, and not one she enjoyed.
As parents, we have to be careful about how we raise our children. I have an aunt who never had children, and who has never liked children. I don't even invite her to my house. My children are polite and well mannered. But, to be honest...she's really not a nice person.
Now, that I think about it. The only people I know that really don't like children...weren't very nice people. So, really, it may be they didn't like people, but especially children.
It makes sense.
Children are often the center of attention, whether you want them to be or not. Its a self centered period of life. But someone like my aunt ALWAYS wants to be the center of attention. So, she wouldn't appreciate sharing the spotlight. She's never left this period of life, I guess.
But, that list would work for her, altered a bit.
Stay off MY lawn. (that one is funny...she says it, but because she's mean, she has to say it to kids near her lawn...no one actually visits, and no one would dare lose a ball there. She would keep it.)
Now, SHE annoys me...
