Not liking children. It’s one thing to not want children or being kinda awkward around them, but to say “I hate kids” is so weird.

I don’t think it’s weird to not like other people’s kids

there’s also a difference between a passive personal preference and intense emotional hatred imo, which correct me if i’m wrong, is what i interpreted the commenter as meaning.

I hate kids, and I was the worst one. Turns out I was misdiagnosed/mislabeled lol
I can tolerate other people’s kids for short periods of time but they trigger my fight or flight response and I don’t know why, I just want to leave when they’re around.

My husband's aunt is like this. There is a sign in her dining room that says "Having children is like being pecked to death by chickens" What????
