I'm not a big fan of kids. I love our niece and three nephews, but I'm always happy to go home at the end of the day.

I love kids! Always did... when I was a kid myself, I loved babies & entertaining younger kids. When I was 13 I started a long career of babysitting, which made me some great money over the years. Now I can't wait to have my own (hopefully!)in a couple years. I know have some who don't do kids and that's cool... they can borrow mine if they want

I'm not a kid person. I love my kids more than words can say, but I'm not the person that wants to be surrounded by other people's children. I also do not have a burning desire to hold babies. <<thumbs up>>

WC Fields said they were tasty with mustard. Eddie Izzard says they taste like chicken.
I love my nephews...they are the greatest.
Their sister...meh. We did lots of stuff when she was a kid. Then she became an obnoxious teen brat. I wonder if she'll finally outgrow that when she hits 30 in a couple of years? She's a lousy mom and I'm hoping she won't do irreparable harm to her own daughter.

As long as they're not mine.
I love my nieces and nephews, but it's nice to be able to send them back to their parents at the end of the day.

Some kiddies are okay, usually the ones I dislike are a reflection of the parents who I am not fond of. I also dislike those parents that think their children are the next 8th wonder of the world, no I don't want to watch Jimmy take a poo poo, it is not that amazing thank you very much.

the less I'm around them the less I like them.
When I was much younger I spent a lot of time with much younger (15 to 20 years) cousins and taught Sunday school. Now that the cousins are all grown up and I don't teach Sunday school anymore, I'm not often around kids and when I am I find I don't have the patience for them.
I'd probably start liking them again if I spent time with some of them on a regular basis.

Never been a fan of babies....they ooze yucky stuff all the time. Most people are amazed that I even had one since I've never been "kid friendly". That's also why I only had one....lol All that said, for the last 16 years, my entire life has been about my kiddo and what's best for him. But I am looking forward to when he's done with high school & college and out on his own. I'll get my life back. It'll be just me and hubby. I'm not all that anxious for grandkids.

I love kids, always have. I was always babysitting and taking care of other people's kids. And I am one of those people who loves babies. We aren't going to try for #2 until the end of this year, but every time I see a little baby I wish we were trying now.

There are some that are fun to be around, but there comes a point where I want to return them to their parents I never had the desire to have kids of my own and I really don't know what to do with babies. I find the 5 to 7 year olds to be the most fun to be around. I think that most kids come into this world good and then their parents values, discipline, and upbringing will either make them a good and productive citizen or not. And this. I love this age! I really enjoyed my nieces and nephews then. They were so cute and so much fun. And I never had that strong desire to procreate. DH and I are thankful we didn't. I prefer other's cute kids so I can give them back. Our own kids wouldn't have that wonderful return policy that their's come with.
