Is it normal to be afraid of kids?

Whenever they are around, I get very nervous and quite intimidated. I start to shake, but if ever approached, despite rapid heart beat, I do my best to smile and and say hi.

    I hate children and their parents. They don't make me nervous but I do get really mad inside.

      Why?

        Because the majority of parents have no idea how to raise their children.

          What if the kids are polite, and disciplined to always be on their best behavior?

            I'm not talking about manners, I'm talking about mental maturity.

    I am scared of being in a house when the parents are gone and I cannot see the child, like if they are in their room or behind me. But I have had several encounters with psycho kids (had knives, whisky bottles, screwdrivers, etc. wielded by kids at me because they were little freaks!)

    I'm always scared of kids mostly because they always do something dangerous and I think I'd have to take responsibility and when they want something and talk in their kids language I can't understand single word

    I have a bit of a fear of anything that I find unpredictable, and kids are definitely unpredictable to me.

    I am afraid that their parents will think I am a pervert.

        Nowadays, I don't think that matters.
        Or worse, they think I am infertile and desperate for a child... and wanting theirs o.O

    I have no issues. Possibly from being involved with many I have realized they are genuinely just kids. They laugh and cry just like any other kid.

      Not babies, but say around like 3 to maybe around 9 or 10.

    I think so. Kids make me nervous sometimes.

    I dunno about "afraid", but I don't feel any connection to them. Mostly like my attitude towards women :P
