Babies

[The Murderer]

Every time i see a woman holding a baby, i just want to slaughter her child in front of her. Is this bad? then again i think the same thing every time i see anybody with a child...and tend to follow through on it alot...

Yes, I am sure you have.
Cut it out.


edit: Let's make that a three-day ban for now for being a lovely human being

Anyone who thinks that what the world needs is for people who don't want kids to be pressured into having them is out of their fucking mind / an asshole, imho.

I mean, and I like kids.

...Which is actually pretty much why I think so, TBQH.

edit: what every child wants to hear

"I didn't really want-want you, I just had you cause, you know, I thought... maybe I'd want you?"

[akaSM]

If I hear a baby cry, it automatically makes me cringe and I just want to get away as fast as a can

This

The whole ''but they're small and cute and chubby!'' thing doesn't work with me.

I like babies but, not because of that. Their efforts at doing things amuse me, and seeing the little guy gain more abilities and being able to do more as he grows is quite neat.

Small kids crying in a store because they're not getting what they want; I feel like punching them in the face.

And I bet it would feel great

Now, it this "no babies" thing normal? Nope but, seriously, what's normal? And what good does it to you to be "normal"?.

Now, is that wrong? Why should it be? Because of what people say? Screw them, if they their "you must have babies" ideas are clearly more important than your opinion, and they won't listen to your wishes, why should you listen to them and their egotistic opinions?

Just do what you want, what you think it's best for you. If other people love babies, let them have all the babies they want...on a second thought no, seriously we're overpopulated already.

I'm kind of indifferent to babies and children in real life, but for some reason whenever they appear on a commercial or TV program or film I am filled with loathing and disgust. Is there a name for this phenomenon

There's a ringtone around, where a baby laughs and it seems someone's tickling him. I.HATE.THAT.THING

I don't know what I hate more about it, people playing it over and over because it just sounds plain annoying or the people's "ogawdsocute" reaction.

Also, relevant

Some women want to have children, some don't. Some are freaked out by the idea of giving birth and want to adopt instead. Some just want nothing to do with children. All these are completely normal. Tell those that keep meddling that it's none of their business.

Often it seems like the people who are responsible for diaper ads really don't find anything endearing about babies themselves.

There was one recent ad (I don't recall the product) that had a tightly wound montage of several babies shrilly squealing and hopping in the morning to get taken out of bed.

Of course, that's what people like about babies: the inconvenience, sleep deprivation and hearing loss!

Bobbey, I can relate. I have never desired children in my entire life (I'm only 21, though, but still), never had a "maternal instinct," and never wanted to hold a baby or enjoyed interacting with children. That's not even getting into the logical reasons for not wanting a child- this is my gut reaction to children.

Pardon my language, but it is pretty fucking insulting when people tell me I'll "change my mind," or I'll have kids "someday." No one's ever told me I'm less of a woman for it, but if they did I would probably punch them in the face with my woman fist. By the way, does that make infertile women less womanly? Ugh. e_e

It can be pretty hard even as an adult to avoid all these horrible messages and expectations that society has for your gender. I say, as long as you're not harming anyone, fuck it. Do whatever they fuck you want. Women are not baby making machines. A woman does whatever she decides to do- whether it's having a child, getting married, staying single, or looking after a pet puppy... Because women are individual human beings that are not beholden to their genes. Expecting women to have kids to fulfill their role as women is just as messed up as pressuring women to feel bad about their bodies because they don't have F cup tits or blaming them when they get raped because they happened to be drunk or wearing a miniskirt. It's not EXACTLY the same but it's one piece in the whole fucking mosaic of sexism.

There is nothing wrong with how you feel. If how you feel changes in the future, that's fine- why have kids when you don't want them? And if how you feel doesn't change, that's fine too. It's not like the need to populate the earth is an urgent one.

If it helps at all, I am totally with you. As someone who has seen births happen first hand, and been hit with female birthing blood in the chest (that's a fun story), my desire to squeeze a football sized human being out of my body is seriously declined. I'm a bit older than you (26), and I've definitely gotten the "you're not a real woman until you horribly rip your vagina up" speech from my family and some friends. Do I want children? Yes, but that doesn't mean I have to get knocked up to do so. I would like to, some day, adopt a child and give someone less fortunate than I a good life.

Does that make me "not normal?" Some people think so, but what the hell do I care what some people think? It's my life, I live it how I wish, and you should to. People should support you no matter what you choose, and if not, in your eloquent words, fuck them.

I think it's perfectly ok to not be overly fond of a creature that will stare you in the face while it shits itself.
