Does anyone else not really enjoy being around kids?

I don't like kids overall. To be honest, a lot of them are noisy pigs. Oink Oink Oink, stuff my face with bacon and chippies from the buffet and run around the restaurant like an animal! I don't get why people gush over this crap. If I was the manager of the place I'd toss them out if they pulled that crap! It's irritating and I have told parents and their kids to knock it off. Be firm and to the point, that's the only way with these kind of people.

I just don't feel comfortable around kids, It's not that I dislike them, I just feel better when they're not around.... j/k

I also was never a person that got all goofy around little babies or toddlers. I suppose a lot of men are like that too.

A lot of the times the high energy and constant whining that a lot of kids do sort of grinds my nerves a bit. But like others have said, it is usually different with your own kids. I suppose if I had kids, I'd have been an ok dad.
