Why do people get offended if you don’t like kids?

Question

Apparently not liking kids means there’s something wrong with you and you’re a bad person. This is the kind of response I get from people who tell me I’m weird for not liking kids or I get a look of disgust.
Children honestly make me feel uneasy. It’s nothing personal, I just dont relate with them. I have met probably a handful of kind, respectful and well behaved kids that I have no problem with. I understand kids will be kids but some kids just have behavior problems because they are spoiled, plain and simple. 
I’m never mean to children and my opinion doesn’t change the kind of person I am. But not liking kids doesn’t mean I’m a bad person, or that I’ll change my mind when I have kids because I truly don’t believe I will ever have them.

Answer

I don’t get offended if other people don’t like kids. What bothers me is when they talk shit about my decision to have a child. Loads of my friends who don’t like kids constantly make comments about people who do have kids and it drives me nuts.

Answer

I don’t like kids. Or well I guess specifically, I don’t like people being loud and moving constantly, aka what kids always do. Doesn’t mean I’m mean to them, I just prefer to not be around them lol. I’m nice to kids when I have to be around them. I’ve had people get offended too like “you’ll change your mind one day and want your own”. Always annoying.

Answer

People are weird and judgmental. That's really all there is to it. And you don't have to absolutely adore all children, that's ridiculous. I love kids and even my bullshit meter can tip with some of them.🤷‍♀️ The point that sticks out the most to me is that you don't treat them like crap. That's all that matters. Do you, boo.❤❤❤

Answer

I never wanted a kid and did not like little kids. After having my son, who is 5 now, I do not like other people kids still.  So I can relate.  I love my child just not other peoples🤷‍♀️. I am extremely motherly to my son, only. I have only ever held my son , I mean like holding a baby. I just tell people my son know how to act and what I expect.  Other people's kids I cannot discipline as mine if he acts horribly. Kids are not for everyone and just as you dont judge them they shouldn't you.

Answer

It may be the way you express this dislike of children? Are you the one who had posted a “there should be flights with no children” rant? I am wary of anyone that states that they don’t like ANY general population of people based on traits that they cannot control (age, race, sex, gender etc). That is biased thinking and shows ones inability to have empathy. Most people don’t generalize an entire generation of humans unless they have critical deficiencies in their ability to empathize with others. As social creatures, we are programmed to be cautious when a someone has views that are different. Doesn’t mean you are a bad person, but don’t be alarmed when people don’t share your sentiment.

Answer

My best friend always told me she didn’t like children and it’s never bothered me in the slightest. Since I’ve had my little girl she’s always messaging to see how she is and call her “the only child she will ever love” it makes me giggle tbh. She surprised me recently after telling her I was expecting baby number too she got all giddy and excited and was telling me she was ready to settle down and talking about baby names. I was completely shocked I didn’t even know what to say to her. Everyone has there own opinions on how they feel about children and there’s nothing wrong with that
