I hate babies.

I have to get this off my chest. All of my life, ever since I was young, I have hated babies with a passion. I NEVER played with baby dolls, I NEVER showed any interest at all in babies or motherhood. Why? Because they freak me out. They freaked me out back then, they freak me out today. The tought alone of having to take care of one or just interact with one, scares the heck out of me.

Why do I feel like this?

+++1. I think they look utterly repulsive.+++

I honestly think human babies are, untill they reach the age of HAIR, among the most vile-looking creatures in nature. The chubby factor doesn't work for me. Newborn babies make me want to vomit. I really believe anyone who calls a newborn baby 'precious', 'sweet' or 'beautiful' is in fact a hypocrite and in reality comforting its parents.

+++2. The way they cry for something makes my skin crawl.+++

The newborns look like squirmy little maggots with their bald heads, shut eyes and toothless mouths. They totally. Freak me out. The older ones are just plain annoying and aggravating. Whenever they cry, I feel like punching them in the face. Ever looked a needy baby in the face while he is wailing? You know what that expression means? "I WANT! WANT! WANT! GIVE ME MY BOTTLE. GIVE ME MY DIAPER. GIVE ME MY TOYS. NOOOOOOOW!!!"

+++3. They're very effective in showing you what they DON'T want, but they are never able to show you what they WANT.+++

They are spoiled even when they're just in the crib. They manipulate us because they are used to getting what they want, ALL the time. And people think it's strange I call them annoying? They cry, whine, fuss and moan CONSTANTLY even when NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THEM! Most older babies just cry for attention, to get what they want. They have no patience, no empathy or regard for anyone but themselves. Yes, they love you. Would't you love the single idiot willing enough to wipe the shiat off your butt and bring you milk?

+++4. They stay little too long.+++

They progress frustratingly slowly. They're incontinent for what? Three whole years? They spill their food all over the place and projectile vomit for about... Two entire years? You have GOT. To be kidding me. Kids don't grow up too fast when it comes to the gross stuff. They are plain nasty when it comes to bodily fluids.

+++5. They're dumb. There, I said it.+++

I see babies hanging from their buggies that look like they are retarded, in a coma or drugged. How anyone can interact with such a child, is beyond me. There ARE some older babies that actually act like a small human being, but most of them have an expression on their faces that show they are not really there. They should just stay asleep for the next two years if they can not do anything... Interesting.

Those are my reasons for hating them. I can tolerate older children, but babies? They make me run for the nearest exit. Sorry.
Do you think it's normal?

I don't blame you. I feel the same. I wouldn't ever hurt one, but I really don't like them (mind you, I feel the same about most people under about 15 too :L)
One thing you forgot about them, they're nearly always sticky. i always used to look after my little cousins, and any time you touched them your hand came away covered in gunk. Not nice.
however, instincts will probably kick in if you have your own and you'll love it to death : )
Wow, I guess then that asking you to baby sit is out? Sorry had to get that one off my chest. Your feelings are your feelings your not wrong, your just diffrent. Quite diffrent for the most part. Get help if you feel you need to other wise just go on with your life. Many of your friends will or may already have children they will want to show them off to you. If you value your frindship I suggest you learn to lie a bit. Or drop the friend as soon as they have a baby on the way.

Good luck
Do you hate yourself?
Cause you were once a baby.
Don't have a child.... Anyways they cry to let us know what they want as they cannot do things themselves yet, simple as that.
I hate babies too.

For those of you that know me, don't you think thats pretty fucking ironic?
I like babies

just cant decide whether I like them boiled or fried.
you are sick!
im sorry but no normal person would think that about an innocent baby!!
Your very strange. I'm a 35 year old baby, and very cute and I don't cry all the time. Why are you such an Infantaphobe?
rofl
First of all how old are you? 15? Seriously I have never heard of anyone loathing babies as much as you do. I think it is very callow and yea I'll say it completely unnatural.

Babies can be very beautiful. I'll give you an example of my son when he was born, but I don't want to see comments with anyone bad mouthing my kid. For starters when he was born and I first layed my eyes on him I started crying I had never seen anything like him before. I would always stare at my baby and I thought "Wow he actually came out of my body" I would take a bath with him when he was weeks old and we would just stare at each other. It was like he knew who I was and that I would never let anything bad happen to him.

Oh yes and FYI sometimes we parents get annoyed when people come up to us and say "what a cute baby" or "how old is she/he"?

You will feel differently when you get older, and when you have a baby or are a father to a baby. The whole process of childbirth I think is a miracle, and a blessing. Human life is precious no matter how old a PERSON is.

I think it is very foolish for you to judge a baby when they have no concept of what being impatient or selfish is. They have no control over their body fluids, because most people feed their kid the wrong milk (baby formula) and it makes them spit up, and also because they don't understand how to control it yet. Kids do not grow up too slow. You have no idea what you are talking about because you are not a parent, and I hope to God in heaven you never become one either. Best Wishes! and all that shit.
he never actually mentioned his age.

Having your own baby will be different to seeing some random baby, idk for sure cuz im not a father but I'd imagine it wuld be anyway, so he may hate random babies he sees bcuz of how they act but if he ever has a baby of his own he will see things from a different point of view. I cant say this for sure but that's wat id imagine anyway.
i love u
junker whats up pal?
LMAO
someone sent me a reply saying im an infantaphobe... i like babies!! what are you on about?
"Seriously I have never heard of anyone loathing babies as much as you do."

I have. I tell people to keep them away from me all the time. There are many more who feel like this, they are united in a small group of people who call themselves 'childfree'. You should Google first before you start lecturing us, assuming that you have the answer to everything just because you have spawned.

"Babies can be very beautiful. I'll give you an example of my son when he was born, but I don't want to see comments with anyone bad mouthing my kid. For starters when he was born and I first layed my eyes on him I started crying I had never seen anything like him before. I would always stare at my baby and I thought "Wow he actually came out of my body" I would take a bath with him when he was weeks old and we would just stare at each other. It was like he knew who I was and that I would never let anything bad happen to him."

Epic. Wait- when are you going to explain why babies are beautiful? You spawned a kid. And...? So you had a great experience with spawning. 'Golly, if she says it's worth it, I should try it too!' IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO YOU, CUZ HEZ YOUR KID! How can you lecture someone who probably never procreated in the first place? o_O

Baybee = beautiful to breeders.
Baybee =/= beautiful to the childfree.

Learn that by hard.

"You will feel differently when you get older, and when you have a baby or are a father to a baby. The whole process of childbirth I think is a miracle, and a blessing. Human life is precious no matter how old a PERSON is."

How can YOU know how anyone will feel, really? Are you the ALL-KNOWING MOO FROM THE HEAVENS? The argument you are using here is, in fact, your opinion. So... People like the poster, people who don't like kids and childfree people out there, we will all understand when we'll get older?

How much older, may I ask? When we're 99? I am almost 27. My history is laughing in your face. I am waiting for the miracle change for quite some time now. Know any symtomps I'll have to look out for? Or should I just 'adapt' and get myself preggers like the rest of you? Perhaps I'll understand THEN, huh?

"I think it is very foolish for you to judge a baby when they have no concept of what being impatient or selfish is. They have no control over their body fluids, because most people feed their kid the wrong milk (baby formula) and it makes them spit up, and also because they don't understand how to control it yet."

True, but we can find them annoying all the same, can't we? Let's face it. Yeah, babies cry when they want something. And... IT'S FRIGGIN' ANNOYING having to listen to them!

"Kids do not grow up too slow. You have no idea what you are talking about because you are not a parent, and I hope to God in heaven you never become one either. Best Wishes! and all that sh*t."

Whatever. I think people like the poster take all the means neccessary to prevent from EVER making/ having a baby, dodn't you think? ;D

Yeah. We were all waiting for a lecture about the 'blessing of human life'. Seriously, do you ever watch the news? Like, ever...?

The point is really quite simple.

1. Some people don't like your precious little ingrates.

2. People like the poster, people who don't like children or are CHILDFREE, don't WANT to hear about the miracle of childbirth. I for one am SICK of breeder stories! Keep them to your breeding self and your breeder friends! Seriously. Who wants to hear another sobbing moo story about the birth of their kid?!

3. Oh it's natural alright. Apes leave their babies to die if they don't feel like mothering them all the time. In nature, babies are rejected by their moms all the time. Don't come to me to tell me all women should love babies, because that's too much Walt Disney for me.

I'll leave you with a George Carlin quote:

"Nobody cares about your children. I speak for everyone, they've been appointed by the rest of the group to inform you we don't care about your children, that's why they're YOUR children. So you can care about them and we don't have to bother."
Mark Twain didn't like teenagers you know he said that he thought they should all be tied up to a raft and sent out to sea and die. As he was a great a writer this doesn't make much sense since we need teenagers to turn into adults to be the future of mankind, just like we need babies to be the future of mankind. All you childfree people should watch the movie "children of men" and see what it could possibly be like without children in the world.

I did say that all human life was precious not just babies but whatever you are entitled to your own opinion and so am I. If I want to talk about my son then I'll be damned if you are going to stop me, or make me feel like some worthless peice of crap low-life loser for choosing to be a mother. Perhaps the reason why you feel this way is because it creates a balance so the population will not become too high for the earth to handle. It's getting close to being too late for that, especially in America. Either way I don't believe I should be given the title "breeder" since I don't believe humans are animals because I believe humans have souls.
Just one little comment. Just because someone doesn't want children because they don't like children does not mean that they do not see the necessity in having children and they do not think that their should be no children on the entire planet because that would just be plain retarded. THEY do not want children but they do not care if someone else has a kid, as long as the "breeder" does not keep going on and on about the kid and does not bring the kid everywhere with them so that the kid can annoy every fucking person it sees.

"Either way I don't believe I should be given the title "breeder" since I don't believe humans are animals because I believe humans have souls." That didn't even make sense. Just because he is saying your a breeder does not mean he is calling you an animal breeder just means you've procreated, you've had a child, and you have which means you are, technically, a breeder. And technically we are animals, we are mammals, that has been proven, my old priest was the one that told me that we are mammals, and guess what, mammals are animals.

Soul: the quality that arouses emotion and sentiment. Spiritual not physical.

that definition was from a dictionary. So the soul is what gives you emotions and all that stuff right and only humans have a soul...then why do monkeys show emotion? Mice can laugh and laughter is an emotional expression. And btw it's not just mice that laugh it's most animals, they have a different form of laughter though a mouse's does sound like a mentally high pitched giggle. Monkey's show the most emotion but scientists think that many more animals do have emotions but can not show them, they look after their young and protect them from anything, how do you know that is just an animals surviving instinct and not that some care for their young?
LMAO. I believe animals do not have souls. I don't know it's just it reminds me of that part of the song "Flagpole Sitter" by Harver Danger that goes "That only stupid people are breeding The cretins cloning and feeding And I don't even own a tv" LOL. I like that song but still people who hate children and don't like to see parents going gaga over their babies makes me wonder if there is hope for society and family since women in the US and some other countries are having kids at a much later age or not at all now.

Plus to me if you hate babies and think that they don't offer anything for society and are ungrateful then it's almost like what people say about euthanasia when it comes to old people. This country could one day make abortion legal up to two years of age and frankly that scares the hell out of me.
yeah babies are annoying but they grow up to be functional humans so you just have to feed them until they grow up it's the sacrifice you have to make
u shuldnt euthanize old people just for being old. If they want to die then they can kill themselves if they want to live then we should let them. So there is no point in usin euthonization on them
Kids are like farts.

You only like them when they're your own.
i guess some people are baby-phobic, whatever. but you're rationalizing your statements like they should do something differently- should they grow up faster, or communicate differently? you're holding their baby-ness against them, and it seems a little pointless. it seems like you can probably avoid the "having to" interact with one so best wishes living with that hatred.
I hate babies, i think they're little shits....they are so fucking disgusting
I honestly don't like anybody under 18 years old. But that's just how I feel.
im sorta the same.
like, i dont hate them, but they're really annoying.
i don't plan on ever having my own kid.
i wouldn't be able to take care of him/her without going insane.
I am the exact same way. I absolutely hate babies. My sister has had five children. newborn, 1, 2, 3, and 9 and every time she's had a baby everyone won't shut up about how cute it is, whenever i put my two sense in about it i get the dirtiest of looks. sometimes I just feel like punching a baby (although i would never actually do that). So don't feel weird
Don't worry, I'm the same way. Motherhood isn't for everyone! I like kids and I'm a Big Sister to a 10-year-old girl, but I don't want my own. I too hated playing with dolls and I can't seem to have any connection with babies, though it gets better when they can walk and say a few words. I never want to hold them, I never want to coochy-coo them, and I can't stand the smell. Don't let the motherhood myth that you're not really a woman unless you have a baby fool you. It's just not true.
oh wow, i totally agree, i have hated babies forever, everything you wrote is what i have been saying for years, almost down to the t. for those of you out there who can't understand, don't try, you never will, there isn't some unwritten law that says everyone has to like babies. but seriously they are gross little parasites.
man, this post just re-convince me not to have kids. i don't like kids. i don't wanna have one either. imagine how much money you can spend/save not having kids. and, babies look ugly too. if i give birth to an ugly baby, i'm afraid i'm gonna give it away. but, i wanna be a neonatal intensive care unit nurse, just because i don't have to lift morbidly obese patients and injure my back. newborns are usually about 6-8 lbs. so, yeah as long as i get paid no worries. ooh, i can't be pediatric nurse though. too much crazy stuff with kids running away from needles, hiding under the table, biting you. a little suggestion, get your self sterilized, don't have to bother with contraception.
babies are hideously disgusting, I cant stand the little shits.
Wow...you're a fucking idiot. They're babies, dumbass. How do you think you were at that age?
i can only start with "wow". what you are feeling is only 'maybe' normal for someone who has never had a child. Babies can be disgusting. Adults can be even more disgusting...we burp, fart, throw up, have diarrhea, etc. babies are helpless. they can't help it when their body functions take over. they cry because they don't literally have the language to tell you how they feel. I would cry too if i was hungry and noone fed me and i couldn't tell them...same concept for having wet or dirtied myself and couldn't express it in words. your issues are so far past what is normal... get help
all parents love babies but normal people dont...we just pretend to, so stupid parents dont hate us lol
babies are precious. and INNOCENT. they are not spoiled they cry when something is wrong because they are HELPLESS. they may be annoying and not the cutest when they are first born but they are precious.
Nothing is innocent, admit it. You may not like it but it's true. Babies are revolting vile creatures and children in general are until about 12 when some of them realize the world does not revolve around them.

I never plan on having a baby or marriage, I'm fine with this and I'm glad for it.

Agreed with the...question asker entirely and do not think it odd to dislike babies.
Dude, I have a 6 day old boy, and i feel the same way, but on the flip side, i also love him ridiculously. That's a little odd i suppose. but anyhow, all of you "i have a child so I'm offended" types, seriously, learn to accept other peoples ways and idiosyncrasies. so what if dude hates babies? Everyone hates something, or let me rephrase, everyone has a pet-peeve. I personally hate it when someone chews with their mouth open and smacks their food....i swear if I could get away with it I would snatch their souls from them...but I cant and so i go about my day anyhow. well....thats it I suppose
I have come to conclusion i'm just not ready to have one of my own. I can handle baby sitting once in a while but I could NOT handle one ALL the time. Maybe someday your hate for babies goes away...who knows, or maybe kids are just not for you and thats okay too.
>>Don't have a child.... Anyways they cry to let us know what they want as they cannot do things themselves yet, simple as that.

What are you talking about? They continue to cry to let people know what they want even as a teenager and adult. Why? Because parents DON'T teach children how to do things for themselves.
I'm so pleased I'm not alone in hating kids the way I do!! When I was 18 my nephew was born. He was forcibly plonked on my lap. He shat his nappy. I was so revolted, I pushed him off my lap and was violently sick in the toilet. I hate babies. They turn my stomach and make me feel nauseous. I feel really uncomfortable when near one. I would rather cut off my own testicles with a blunt knife than have one of my own. I know I will never be a parent or grandparent but I'm ok with that!!
Good grief. If this will annoy you please don't read or just ignore, but I seriously disagree.

Okay, they can't help what they look like. I think they're pretty cute most of the time myself, but the parent will most likely love them (unless they're one of those horrid people), and thus they will be beloved and beautiful in their eyes.

At first crying is the only thing they can do, so if they want something the instinctive thing to do is to cry, and make loads of noise to get the attention. I'm sure they'd rather ask for it. I know it's sometimes annoying.
P.S. I have African family, and a cousin from that side, and she never cries. She's lovely XD!

I think babies grow up too fast. Childhood is a thing to treasure, I think, though when I was younger I couldn't wait for it to be over. Now I miss the days when everything was so simple and carefree.

Dumb? They're only young. You can't expect babies to learn straight away.

Deal with it!
You are only focusing on the negatives of babies. All those things are a way of survival for them and plus its the only way you can learn and develop
i think the same, the look and idea of being pregnant is hideous.
when i think about having kids when i'm older it scares me, i know i'm selfish to say i don't want to look after someone else for the rest of my life.
but hey, when i'm older i'll probably have all the maternal hormones and all that kick in and end up having my own.
I think this post is the funniest I've ever read! The comments too. Oh, and while I love babies, I really don't think they can be considered full people until they can actually think. Plus, I totally agree with that Mark
Twain quote about sending all teenagers out to die on a raft. Granted, I can joke about this cuz I don't have kids yet. So when I was in Madrid there was this sign on the fence of a preschool that I passed every day that said (in Spanish): we are people too! If I hadn't been in a foreign country I might have committed my first ever act of vandalism and taken a pen to the sign to change it to personitas. OK, so this isn't entertaining to anyone but me, but oh well. It was such a trial on my self control to not do that... and I sort of wish I had.
I love all you people that hate babies, I love abortions and abortion saves lives.
I HATE BABIES
I don't hate babies. I hate the stupid parents that think just because they were able to rub their pathetic genitals together and create a child, that now we're suppose to bend over and accomodate them. Guess what? Any two morons can create a kid. Get over yourselves.
I don't honestly think that it's normal to hate babies, even though it seems to be becoming increasingly common, either that or more people are admitting it.

I think babies are innocent and pure and not weird at all.
Seriously no one cares about your personal experience and how "great and beautiful" your kid(s) are, anyone can pop kids into this world, its no special "miracle." if you dont want "bad" comments, then dont openly share personal information to begin with.

And secondly you sound completely arrogant to confidently assure that s/he will "feel different when they get older"
How presumptious, mother goose.
There are many single persons who live their whole lives childless.

And YOU ARE AN ANIMAL, despite whatever personal emotional philosophies you cling with persistence; humans are simply higher evolved animals (even so some animals have sharper senses than us, such as sight and smell) However, as animals we all show complex social and emotional behaviors.


I find it a good thing that people do not wish to have children, otherwise MILLIONS more would overpopulate the earth and thus scarcity of resources would lead to poverty and many other ripple effect issues.
... I was delighted to find this website and this story! I have hated babies all my life as well and feel exactly like the person who wrote this story. I am happy to see that many others also feel this way. There is absolutely nothing appealing about a baby. And, it irks me that most people think everyone is supposed to like them. I am female and in my sixties. Being ignorant back then, I married and had babies. I naturally loved my own kids but did not enjoy their babyhood. The older they got the better. Having kids did not change my feelings about babies and kids in general. I have never liked them and still don't. As a grandmother, it was difficult to be around my grandkids. I loved them but didn't like them. Thankfully, I have always lived far away from them. Just because I am female does not make me the 'motherly' or 'grandmotherly' type. If I had grown up in today's society and knew I had a choice, I definitely would not have had children. Some people are just not suited for it and don't want to reproduce. That is perfectly normal for those people. I find it hilarious and so true to read this person's and the other commentors' feelings about babies (the ones that don't like them). Babies.... UGH!!!!!!!
HI I AM A MAN AND I AGREE WITH YOU THAT I TOO HATE BABY'S WHEN THEY ARE BORN THEY LOOK SKINNY AND VERY DISGUSTING I HATE THEM UNTIL THERE ARE TO A AGE OF TWO BECAUSE THEY DON'T LOOK ATTRACTIVE TILL THAT AGE.


IF I HURTED OTHERS FEELINGS IN THIS FORUM I AM EXTREMELY SORRY FOR THAT I SHOULD YOU ALL WHAT I FRANKLY FEEL ABOUT CHILDREN
OMG OMG OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO HATED BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that we were all babies once and honestly that disgusts me even to see a picture of a babie makes my skin crawl and everytime i am forced to hold they always take a dump in there diapers and its just gross!
But yeah i think we all secretly hate babies some of us are just afraid to tell people that.
Normal =]
I found this story so funny, it really made me laugh and can agree completely (perhaps even if with a tad less gusto).
As a young child I would not play with dolls and instinctively hated babies. I was told I would grow out of this but am now 27 years old and still feel as disgusted by them as ever.
I always feel like a bad friend because now friends of mine have had kids I quite honestly go out of my way to avoid them and avoid meeting up with them. This isn't because I don't want to spend time with them, I just don't want to spend time with their screaming "things" that ensure that no reasonable sensible adult conversation can be had. They also actually EXPECT you to fawn over it and i'm not the kind of person to lie to people so hence I avoid the situation. People who have kids or are real "kiddie" orientated just refuse to understand or except that people out there just don't like them!!!
I just can't helpt it - I wouldn't wish them harm but I just think babies are disgusting things that ruin your life and end it until they finally grow up and leave home. All the fun things you used to be able to do are gone.
I particularly hate it when we go out to a nice restuarant and it's ruined by some child wailing and screeching and running around. If your kid is going to be doing that please don't ruin every one elses night and stay at home with it!!! Funnily enough most of us aren't interested in listening to it screaming while we try to have a nice night out!
I can sympathize with the original poster. I for one do not like to be around babies. I'm not saying that no one should have babies, but I'm saying that if you do you should be considerate of people who aren't as "child-friendly"

I don't think those of us who are irritated by babies should be looked down on. My family is a fertile bunch and it seems like my cousins are popping out a new addition to the litter every other month and since I was a child I've had my relatives pushing these babies in my face. I think if you want to have a child that's fine but it shouldn't affect my life. If you're baby is screaming and crying out in public you need to figure out what it needs and get it to stop or you need to go home. I work retail and have had to listen to screaming kids for as long as 30 minutes while the parents shopped like nothing was wrong. The sound of your child crying may not bother you but be considerate of the rest of the world.
I STRONGLY AGREE WITH YOU
BABIES ARE PRECIOUS BUNDLES OF JOY FROM ABOVE, YOURE JUST A FREAK
Haha too funny bro!

I totally agree, this baby shit makes me sick.

The comment about them being dumb is crazy funny!

Read my story about "guys getting married"
wut! wen i saw that someone on iin hates babys, i rushed to comment.

babys are awesome and you kno it!
Hatred of a baby is pretty harsh. A preference to not have children is fine. Yes, babies can be annoying and messy. However, in comparison to teenagers, they're actually pretty easy to take care of with a little patience. Teens are far more stressful not to mention expensive to deal with. While your teen is cursing your name, throwing shit, defying you just to piss you off, drinking, experimenting with drugs, getting the neighbor girl knocked up, and burglarizing cars at 3 in morning...Your new born is crying for milk or sleeping. It's adults that make all the bad decisions in the world and fuck everything up. Children under the age of 10 and animals are just about the only life forms on earth that have not been corrupted. I could actually live with them in peace. I have never once been fucked over by an infant, but can't even count how many times and ways I've been fucked over by the adults in society. When I see a new born, I think to myself...Look, a fresh new human. He/she doesn't judge, doesn't hate, is non-biased, and accepting. This one has a chance. I hope this one doesn't grow up to become just another earth parasite dreaming up ways to hate and destroy their fellow man. Hating infants is irrational. Hate in general is irrational.

You just don't understand, do you?For the last time I will ask you KINDLY to stop thinking for child-free people or people that don't like children. Most child-free people I've met are well-educated, intelligent people using strong arguments in debates such as these to defend their carefully chosen lifestyle. We don't need to 'wisen up', no matter how much you want us to see your point of view. We will never see your point of view and frankly, we don't think like we're missing out. As you yourself just put- to each his own. You are entitled to your opinion, so please go change your son's diapers and watch that movie. If it's meaningful to you, it's important to you and I acknowledge that. It's just not important or meaningful to ME, nor most child-free people I know!

"I did say that all human life was precious not just babies but whatever you are entitled to your own opinion and so am I. If I want to talk about my son then I'll be damned if you are going to stop me, or make me feel like some worthless peice of crap low-life loser for choosing to be a mother.

You are more in denial than I am, miss. Like tehfirefox already pointed out, we ARE animals no matter if we have souls or not. That is a well-known fact of science. We just like to tell ourselves we're 'special' because we happened to evolve as the most intelligent species on this planet. Humans created faith and religion- not the gods. It's a modern fairytale that tells us the promiss of a bright and wonderful future in the afterlife to make up for all the shittiness we have to deal with during life. They even went as far as write in the Bible, a supposedly HOLY book, that women must suffer the pains of birth because ONE single woman named Eva munchd of the Lord's fruits. Did you believe that too, when you I wonder?


It has been 6 months since my last log in and I have turned 27 by now. Nope, still not changing a damn bit! I'd like to commend the 'owner' of the 6 day old boy for having the balls to just say what he said on this board. You obviously understand what this is all about. We get SICK of people trying to shove the baby love down our throats- it's very good to know not ALL people that reproduced are like that!

I also feel like I need to point something out. People that comment here don't want to HARM children, nor do they deny their importance to our race in general. The initial poster never said he (or she?) blamed babies for the way they are, they are just annoying to him (or her). I don't understand what's so hard to understand about that?

It's simple: some of us don't. Like. Babies. It's not something we should seek help for, rather tell all those mindless breeders to get help!! Do you honestly believe the majority of people that spawn can take CARE of their child? Whoops! Well actually, I think I have a big effing point there considering all the suffering I see in child protective services in countries all around the world.

THE BREEDERS are the ones that need help, because they act on their maternal/ paternal feelings as most teens do on the lastest fashion trends! They NEVER ask themselves if they can deal with the stresses of parenthood, they NEVER ask themselves if this is the right thing to do, they NEVER ask themselves what they should do if they had to raise these children on a single wages only.

If you are offering help, go on and help them! We are very satisified with the way we are and HARMING NO ONE in the process. I can't say that of most irresponsible parents I see.
Correction: "Did you believe that too, when you I wonder?"

has to be:

"Did you believe that when you were giving birth to your son I wonder?"

Grrr, no edit button! ;(

That was the closest you can come to internet poetry.

When you look at the face of a baby, you see an untouched, unpressurized, uncensored form of a human. I agree; hating them is irrational and hate in general is irrational.

The reason I dislike babies is after the postman rolls up with a handful of bills, the dog shits on the carpet, Im falling asleep next to my coffee, its Monday morning and I have to be at work in half an hour, The wife is bitching in my ear about how all I want is sex and how I never clean the house, my stomach hurts, I had no sleep last nite, Im hungover, then my 2 yr old looks at me from his mountain of blocks and gives me a drooly smile.

If I could just have one day where I could play with blocks and drool.... and get breast-fed....
@: GTara
Here's another thing to.... the wife will smile and coo and baby-talk our baby, yet she turns around and slaps me, comes to me with her hand out, argue with me, etc.....

Yet that baby has not paid ONE bill, made her orgasm (at least I HOPE not), and those pair of jeans she wears? Yeah, not her money.

Yet I dont know what to do get her to play peek-a-boo with me.
just make sure you don't have a kid of your own
Thank god, I thought I was the only one who despise babies. Their so nasty and needy with too big of heads. I don't mind toddlers and older, but I am NOT having a brat of my own!
I loathe babies. I never liked dolls as a child and never wanted a child of my own until the wretched body clock started ticking in my mid thirties and my husband wanted kids, and so I dutifully became pregnant and, what do your know, I hated every minute of being a mother. My son is now nearly 16 and, what do you know, although I do love him I still cannot fathom out as to how I became entrapped in this alien situation. Oh god please help me!
WELL SAID! TOTALLY AGREE
No. You're not normal.
It's not like you have to love babies.
Yeah, they get annoying... but have you actually spent time with a baby?
They smile, they giggle, they play with you, they understand. Toddlers help you do things and they are very nice. Not all the time, because they're children... and they are still learning how to behave themselves. But they aren't brats 24/7 unless they are raised wrong.
Sure, babies whine and cry, but if you were this tiny little thing that isn't able to even walk yet or explain anything, you'd be fussy too.
And yes, babies poop. And babies vomit. And babies make messes...
But that's where the maternal instinct kicks in.
Cleaning up other people's messing makes me want to puke, I don't do dishes because my family's dirty dishes with their spaghetti sauce is gross.
But I got 2 kittens and I instantly became loving, or "maternal" if you will, over them. I cleaned their shit off their foot when they stepped in it and it didn't gross me out one bit. You just lack the maternal instinct that woman are supposed to have to help the natural cycle of reproduction.
You're broken.
'But that's where the maternal instinct kicks in. (...) You just lack the maternal instinct that woman are supposed to have to help the natural cycle of reproduction.
You're broken.'

Sorry, but who are you to tell a woman, ANY woman, that they are SUPPOSED to have a maternal instincts? Have you ever studied apes, because I can tell you didn't. We are apes, no matter if we like it or not and a lot of female apes actually don't know what to do with their children. As many as 1 in 4 females leave their young too die. We are an intelligent species. Bringing up babies is a choice. You can't spin all of this on hormones. What are you suggesting? That you are not woman enough if you haven't?

Do I or ANY other woman in this thread that openly admit they dislike children, sound broken to you, LOL? May I suggest you to spend a little bit more time in this world and widen your views a bit? Because, MooiePop, beautifull dollie or not, I have seen your profile and your age. I am not going to ef you over that, but seriously. People who have traumas, are broken. People don't have to go through sh*t in order to wake up one day and realize they don't like children. Two different things. It's kinda off to just say that to someone that doesn't like babies.

Oh an by the way. Your comparison with the kitten is completely off. I am the same with cats and kittens and A LOT of childfree people are genuine moms or dads when it comes to our 'fuzzy babies' of the animal kingdom.

Don't know why, just saying.
I, too, hate babies with a fiery passion. So many relationships and marriages end because of a sprog. I hate this shit that people say "Oh you were a baby once". Whatever douchebags, I am not a retard, I know I was a baby. But I'm not anymore, and I absolutely can't stand babies. They're not cute, they're not a "miracle." and I hate the double standard that it's such an evil thing when someone hurts a baby, but when someone hurts an innocent elderly person or an animal, nobody really cares.
I hate those little monsters too! I think women are crazy that they wnt to give birth to nasty little bitches! Also they suffer from having them pop out of their privates. Which is discusting! Plus how they vomit white stuff on you proudly. Nasty fuckers!
IMO I think you're foolish. You're pretty hypocritical because you where like that once too. Also you contridicted yourself a few times in your little rant and you used hypocrite in the wrong contex. Not all baby's are the same and I genrally like children and when they annoy me I just think "I was like that too." because we all where at one point.
I have that same feeling. I just don't like how if you have a kid like EVERYTHING can go wrong. If it is fine there is still that spot on their head and the fact that in their sleep they could stop breathing.
I just can't stand that kinda pressure. I wouldn't mind being a mom if I could have the kid and they could be older faster so I didn't have to keep dealing with catering to their every need.
I have seen how my mom acts and I just can't stand it. I don't even like the fact that you could accidentally have one of those drooly scary big eyed creatures. It's just so...ugh.

so I think your normal. Don't know about everyone else but whatever.
I can't tell you why you feel like this, but it's okay though. Everybody has an opinion. If you decide not to have a child, so be it. Try to avoid any contact babies, atleast. There are a lot of people that feel the way you do. Babies, maybe in your opinion are dumb, but babies can not reach the age of understanding until they are atleast 7. Do I think it's normal? Yeah, it's normal to hate babies. I feel like that sometimes too. Just don't let your anger of babies get the best of you though.
Actully i like this .
People who don`t like babies, don`t need to make them either . It`s simple . People who don`t want a baby and accidently have a baby put them up for adoption and give them THE WORST LIFE THEY COULD GET . so i think its good that people have opinions like this . make shure you tell everyone about it . So just incase you have a baby in the future , everyone can call you a hypocrite . plus ; what happens if your parents thought like this too ? would you be here ? think about it before you start saying " I HATE BABIES " this is just my opinion .
omg i feel the exact same way x.x
i hated kids under the age of 6 yrs, i just hate them i guess its cuz they just cry for everything they dont get. everytime i hear a 5yr old like that @ the store i feel like telling the mother 2 make the kid shut the fuck up x.x
Lol.Some of what you say has some truth but babies are cuutee.They are not when they are first born though. Babies can not live on their own so tey are obviously trying to survive and the only way they can is by saying what they want and need.

The though of motherhood freaks me out, imagine someone growing up annoying you and always asking for stuff, sound slike a giant headach, but I guess its all part of life.

We all have our own opinions, your one on babies is very strong though. Wow
The fact that you say you made it through motherhood with that mentality scares the shit out of me. I feel sorry for your child. You know why the baby looks DUMB now and then people interact with it? TO TEACH IT, TO LOVE IT. Babies with die without. If everybody on this planet had the same mentality as you, we would be extinct.

So, no, you're fucking weird. Sociopath.
It's OK to hate babies, I also know somebody who hates them (although she hates children entirely). But please keep in mind that babies aren't that intelligent yet. They are not able to say stuff like: "Mum, I wet my diaper!", let alone that they can solve the problem theirselves. The best solution for you is to just avoid them and never have kids. And when you see a baby on the streets, just pretend it isn't there. That's best for both parties.
dont like babies,never did&never will!
but the problem is that Im in serious relationship and every time I mention my opinion(that Im not melting myself when Im around babies and hate playing with them or simply dont picture myself having one..Im also disgusted of the act itself of giving birth!!)and he becomes angry of my "cranky and stupid behavior"
and says what the hell is he doing with me then?!..its like Im being forced to do something that its expected from me,just because Im a femmale..damn..Im not a reproducing animal:)))
Babies piss me off when they cry, and pregnant women freak me the fuck out when they walk towards me...

Normal
I think people who don't like children have a reason not to like them. Is it because they need attention? Is it because of their appearance? I suppose those who have children will have the benefit of having their children caring for them at old age and so on. I guess it's normal for someone to hate babies, but not to the extent of hurting one.
my mom has told me that I was an accident and that until I was born she never wanted kids. lol. So yeah I don't think it counts as being a hypocrit if even parents have that feeling.
Hate is a strong word. I agree with most of the points this poster is making; I personally can't stand being around babies. They are noisy, unsanitary, kind of ugly, and there are too many of them. But generally, when I hate something, I want it to go into a dark place and die. I would not say that about babies, because they are future individuals. But I never want to have one, and I do hate being around them. So, I would say that I can't stand babies, but I wouldn't say I absolutely hate them.
I had no clue there were so many hateful people out there. Who hates babies?!?! they're so cute and fun and funny.
I agree with a lot of what your are saying. Most of the time, babies are putrid and disgusting. I want nothing to do with them. I would add toddlers and younger children too, they are the same.
Babies are beautiful little human beings. You are a negative mean spirited little cretin. Just don't have children - problem solved.
Just because someone doesn't like babies doesn't mean they're mean spirited. Some people are just so close minded.

I don't see them as repulsive as this person does, but I don't like being around them. Yes, they can be cute but I find a baby kitten much cuter. I would never, EVER harm a child or a baby, just no, but I don't like being around them either, I have no patience. I just hate how smug parents can be, just because we don't want kids.

Not everyone wants to have kids like you did, God knows we don't need anymore in this world, this world is a shitty place to live in.
Ok....now your anger is out. take a breather and think for a moment. You were once a baby. Didn't your mom, LOVE YOU & take care of you? A baby is a blessing from god. If you hate babies than I'm guessing you support abortions. Which I'm against. To hate babies, is to hate the future of the human race, because without babies being born and cared for, we would have no existance.
Babies are God's creation and so are you. Do not hate them. If you don't like them, than I suggest to you, to not have any.
Have a happy single life, because without a child to care for, you would have no family to take care of you when you are old. Family, is the core and steel of one's heart and mind.
Don't forget about what your mother did to give you life and raise you.
Wow, ya, it is a totally competent thing to hate a baby. Are you daft? "Babies are stupid"....do you read? Do you know anything about childhood development? Did you honestly really say that? I just joined this group, site, whatever. And so far...I am ASTONISHED at the stupidity. Just absolutely stunned. I get the whole not being a fan of kids. And that is ok. It is not for all. But just the things you say, comparing them to maggots, calling them retarded, and every other just vile thing you had to write....ugh. What a piece of crap you must be. A true gem I bet. Wow.
I agree. I hate babies with every ounce of my being. I hate being around them, I hate looking at them, and more importantly, I hate the people that poop them out! Every moo out there keeps talking nonstop about how amazing their little 9 month turd is. Have you seen the episode of Family Guy where that guy keeps hitting the other guy in the face with the picture of the result of his broken condom? Every parent seems to do that. I for one don't care that a baby cries because they are helpless, and don't care that they are completely "defenseless and innocent." I hate children, I hate my life being catered to the little crotch droppings. I wish there was an area on earth where all the moos would just take their piglets and live away from those who don't like them. I can deal with alot of obnoxious people. But I cannot deal with babies, children, or parents of young kids.
WTF are you talking about - he/she says they hate them, they are squirmy maggots, they are repulsive, dumb, manipulative, annoying, plain nasty ... and on & on...

I say that is plain mean spirited. What do you call it? Constructive criticism?

Nope - to be hateful is to be mean spirited
Well, just keep your legs closed, because God help your poor child if you become pregnant...poor thing will probably be murdered before he/she even has a chance to live.
Oh, and baby's are baby's for a reason...they aren't supposed to function like adults. They are helpless and depend on adults to take care of them.
Don't let anyone tell you that your feelings are wrong.

You have the right to your emotions and anyone who robs you of them are the ones who aren't "normal". Don't let anyone invalidate your feelings, it can cause you some psychological damage later.

Don't let anyone (including yourself) judge your feelings as "right" or "wrong". Believe in yourself and your decisions.

If your mate tries to make you feel bad for your feelings, he/she is setting you up for a toxic relationship and it's best to avoid toxic people. You should weigh out the pros and cons of your relationship and find out from there what the correct choice to do is.
Hate babies, too. They're stupid and always staring at me.
I love the profound statement of this person. What if your dad raises you and there was no Mom? I hate babies too, they smell wierd. Why were they made so stupid? My dog learned to use the shitter outside when he was home with me after 4 days! Why do I have to wipe an ass for 5 years or however long the retarded wierd fat ugly baby is dropping logs in the diaper that goes into the landfill? I'm sorry that I feel this way, but not sure it will ever change since I'm in my 30's! No maternal instincts here except for the 4 legged variety.
Do parents realize that their kids look like a mashed-up chunk of Goobers with small mutant-like appendages when they're first born?
well, to begin with , you sound much like a flammer more than a legit poster.
But even so, if that was the case, you really mean what you said. You tried hard to rationalize your opinions. So, there's something real to it anyway.
Definitely and clearly it is a case of aggression by fear. You hate them because you are so afraid of the responsibility of caring for them. You say so much, openly, in different parts of your post.
Then, whichever if you posted it bona fide or not, you really should try to deal with what seems a particular case of hypengyophobia (i.e. irrational fear of responsibilities).
Maybe, when you were a child, were made less by the arrival of a baby? And or were you harshly or persistently scolded for doing something wrong about a baby, or weren't you allowed around one and was told you were too clumsy or incapable to take care of it or be careful about it?
Are you too stressed by any other responsibilities you have to take in your life?
If any of that, in effect you could have hypengyophobia which would be the substrate of your acute disliking of babies.
i hate them too ;)
I think my lack of urge to have children is based on the idea, that there is very little hope for our species anyway. No point wasting time.

Call it fear of responsibility. I for my part have a clearly defined sense for responsibility and my fears, and don't need to lie to others or myself.
I don't want to be responsible for my potential child to grow up in this world as it currently is. I fear it would be unhappy. I am not sure. I am however, considering simple facts, quite positive it would.
I've noticed people here accidentally confusing this with a theological discussion by mentioning SOUL and GOD to underline statements like WE ARE NO ANIMALS.
Yes we are.
Especially those of you who have chosen to breed.
And no, god or soul has nothing to do with it.
Neither has Superman and his heat vision.


You people who don't want children, and don't like children and seem to experience a NATURAL repulsion to children, are the most normal, honest and by far most advanced humans there are.
You, by listening to your minds and bodies, realize that you see no need in spawning offspring. I hereby thank you for putting thought in your action. The future is yours.

-You, oh so caring assholes, better adopt and stop being bigots if you want to love and be loved and give somebody a future.
-If you want a child as product of your love to somebody (your wife/husband), then you are a liar and asshole, and your kid deserves to die at birth, together with you.
-If you are scared of racial shit, OOOOH A WHITE COUPLE AND BLACK/ASIAN/INDIAN/(INSERT ETHNICITY), then you are an egoist and don't deserve a child. Neither adopted or of your own. Go fuck you.
-So you say a child will always be as good as the loving and caring parents make it? Then why do you insist on your GENES to be part of the child? Because you know you're full of shit? Or because you want somebody to continue some kind of shitty legacy? Like what? Carry on your forefather's last name for reasons you can't explain (false pride - but you can't admit it to yourself)?
I've met a lot of people during the course of my life, and this argument was usually stated by unemployed people who missed most of their teeth and often some of their fingers - in some cases due to congenital reason on which there is no need to elaborate.

Risking to sound a bit negative here, I'm just honest and realistic.

Cheers.
LOFL!!! I love it! That was the greatest...well, if you hate babies, then don't have any!

That was absolutely hilarious. You've absolutely GOT to watch ERASERHEAD, a film by David Lynch. You'll LOVE it...
