I never had kids.
However, I like kids and volunteer at the local schools to teach space science.
I don't have children either, but I really like kids. I thoroughly enjoy my nieces and nephews (got about 15). If things had been different I would probably have a few. Health problems preclude me from having kids. But they can be delightful. Saying you hate kids is like saying you hate people.
I never had them either. Never had the desire too....I never had any patience when they are around me....
