I feel this way but without the hositility. I've never wanted kids, even when I was a kid. I didn't like baby dolls. I preferred Barbie because she was a grown up and could do whatever she wanted (or I made her). I didn't babysit as a teenager because I didn't enjoy children. My husband and I know we wouldn't be happy with kids in our life. Thank goodness there are plenty of people who adore children. I happen not to be one of them.

itslex, me too.

I rather enjoy giving babies back to mom and dad after playing peek a boo for a couple of hours.

But I was raised by older parents and was never really around children very much (my cousins were all adults, etc.)

I'm not trying to change your mind here. I just wanted to say that I hated babysitting when I was a teenager. And frankly I don't really like to watch other people's kids to this day. It is different when they are your own. That's all I wanted to say.

That's how I feel too. Thank you for saying it so eloquently.
