Children Support Apolyton

Do you like them? Do they annoy you?

They annoy me. I think kids and their even more annoying parents should be shipped off somewhere.

I would definately live in an all adult society.

Yes I know we have 12 year old posting here somewhere. No offense

I think thats more likely to catch more people to insult

ha ha ha ..

As one of those more annoying parents, I have to say I can understand. One of the young lads across the road from me took it upon his self to cut my hedge to pieces ..

But equally, they can add so much to your life. Kids just say it as it is and break through all the adult seriousness.

My wife had organised a blessing for the house, and the local hindu priest had come, along with all the family etc. During the quite period while the priest was reading his mantra's, Tarika my daughter shouts "MUMMY, IM GOING TO HAVE A WEE WEE FROM MY BUM BUM .. ITS COMING..."

Nothing better than a kid to save us from our seriously boring adult world sometimes.

I hate other people's children. But I also hate most other people. Children can be more annoying at times, like in crowded theatres, shopping malls, or grocery stores. But I think annoying children are just a reflection of dipshit parents.

i like kids (namely my little brother) in small doses, but when he's constantly around me, i get annoyed quite quickly.

i really like watching little kids play, especially under age 5, because it's all so innocent. i saw a little girl kneeling down and picking flowers back in august, and she turned to me and offered me one "hewe you go, mister!". my heart melted, and that doesn't happen often.

I don't like kids, as in when they get old enough to have an opinion and voice it but young enough not to listen to reason and have the intellect to back it up. However young children can be sweet little things. I could see why people want to have kids.

Awwwwww. *dissident gets misty eyed*

If that happened to me, I might change my views. but I'm under the impression that most kids think I'm a creep or a freak. Which is probably true, but that doesn't mean I like the strange glances kids give me.

Children are like anyone else. Sometimes they're great, sometimes they can be a right pain in the arse. And some are more of the first, and some are more of the second.

The best ages are between about 6 and 10, before they start wanting to be grown up, but after they become aware, and properly people.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I love kids. I used to work in a juvenal detention center and they also brought in abused kids that we took to temporary shelter homes. One kid who was seriously abused asked me if I would adopt him. There really is no better vocation in life than working with kids. Too bad that they grow up and become like us.

kids are great when they're not yours and behaving.

when they're not yours and misbehaving, they're as annoying as old people who're just taking up space (as opposed to old people who don't ***** about everything being better in the good ol' days... )

i don't want kids myself right now. they scare me. i don't want to be blamed by my kid for something twenty years from now when the kid's on some shrink's couch.

Not fond of kids?

I used to babysit for the neighbours, so I do enjoy them.

I like older children, including teenagers. Of course that is in situations that I control, and usually in small doses. I have a nephew and a niece who are 9 and 6 respectively, and I care a lot for them. Otherwise I'd usually rather forego the pleasure of hanging around children for the most part. That might change if I'd had any of my own, but that seems very unlikely at this point.

Nope, the best are definately between 3 and 6 - old enough to talk with you, young enough to be cute, and not quite old enough to be annoying little brats.
