Small kids ; irritating or cute?

[Anachronous 682]

I'm generally okay with them. My kid sister was a nut as a toddler so I've kind of been dulled to this apparently shared desire for "choking little kids."

[Strawberry Tart 161]

I have a little brother. He's really adorable...except when he's following me around everywhere. I can forgive him, though, becaus he's only 2 1/2 and he doesn't know he's annoying me. He's cute when he uses mature words though...like when he says, "I was wondering where you were..." I just want to hug him! but other times I want to lock him in a room and not look at him for a couple of days.

When they are small and acting shy, it could be cute, but they can get very annoying. Crying, tantrums, little troll acts, and so forth....

[Demi 545]

Little kids are nothing but irritating. I don't find tiny, fat, bald, drooling, pants crapping, mindless versions of ourselves very cute at all. Nor do I find toddlers destroying your house and draining all your energy cute either.

 

I've met a few little kids that were awesome to hang out with, but nowadays they're very far and inbetween.

[Angie Cakes 50]

geh, I hate babies very much, especially when I'm related to them because that means I have to spend time with them D; if some random person's baby is crying, I don't care, not my problem. but if it's a baby I'm expected to look at with googly eyes, I can't take it.

 

once they reach the age where they can start taking care of themselves a bit, they're cute. once they're old enough to have a conversation, I don't mind being around them. if the kid is being annoying, annoy the kid back. it's always worked for me.

[Dusty Soul 2,613]

The ones I've been around have been INSANELY irritating... They just run around and scream... It just gets on my nerves really quick.

[Meirno 550]

Depends kid by kid. My nepher was the most irritating kid when he was young. He would cry for attention to the point of screaming. But then there are those random cute kids that just steal your heart by looking so adorable.

[AegisReflector 886]

It all depends on the child's personality and how the parents raised them. Obviously, I'm gonna respect a kid for being polite, honest, and not big on horseplaying. Yes, the kid can still have fun, but they shouldn't be so hyperactive all the time to the point you can't control their erratic behavior.

 

I hate it when a little child is being rude or disrespectful to their parents, or if they dismiss their parent's orders towards them. If I see that kind of situation, I actually will go over there and say that their parents want them to so and so, NOW DO IT!

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

Um, for me..it depends. I ran into some very sweet kids that do not irritate me. For example, my little cousin Alexandra. age 8...well even when she was like 5-6, she was always such a sweet heart. She has good manners for a kid, she is so generous and caring. She is also very funny and good at drawing for her age. There are some times where she gets loud, but she never has gotten REALLY hyper where she rambles on, hurts you on accident, screams, and is a little brat. She was never a brat My cousin Bastian, he well.....he has a little bit of Autism, but it's not severe, so..I can understand why he can get a little irritating. But, yeah he has gotten on my last nerves

 

I also used to live in my old neighborhood with these 3 boys. Oldest to youngest goes, Brody, Luke, and Braydon. Brody...well he was such a smart alec, and a pervert for his age o.O. He was obsessed with me when I was like, 7 years older than him. God, I wanted to strangle him. Luke was a gangster wanna be, he smoked ._. (Only because their mom was bad), he was also a pervert. Braydon was in between. He was sweet, funny, and nice, but somedays he was all really annoying, clingy, asked so much questions, and geez...but these boys had a bad mother, and was always dumped to their Grandmother..who wasnt so pleasant herself either. Who could blame them, oh well, yeah, kids all depends on me

[Dewdlz 938]

Omagosh, irritating to the highest extent. When I see one: *runs for the hills*

 

They're always running behind me or screaming really loud, also they're mischievous. It's just the young stage though. 

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

ugh I hate children.... any form of immaturity bothers me to high hell and back.....

[LostButterflyUtau 780]

I like kids. Because I'm a kid at heart. Also, I spent a lot of time doing Elsa Meet and Greets over the summer, so I developed a love and a high tolerance for young children. However, if they're running around screaming and destroying my department, yes, I will find them irritating. But, for the most part I find them cute and I love talking to them. They're so imaginative and innocent and adorable!

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

I hate kids! Especially babies! Don't know why people find them cute. All they do is piss me off.

Plus,they're disgusting brats.

[CaptainDoubloon 857]

I find them annoying and have no desire to ever want children.

[gone~ 614]

I sometimes find small kids kinda cute, but most of the time they're really annoying.

[honk friend 1,978]

I fucking hate kids. The only exception is kids I'm related to and I do not want to have my own kids!

[DubWolf 17,646]

Unfortunately they're usually irritating :S . Not always though.

[Justin_Case001 4,910]

I find them annoying and have no desire to ever want children.

No desire to want children, eh?  You don't want em, and you don't want to want em.  Nice.  I'm just kidding around.  I enjoy picking on grammar.  It's like when people say, "Ready when you are!"  All that needs to be said is, "I'm ready."  I am ready regardless of when/if you're ready.  Your being ready has no affect on my readiness.

 

But I'm right there with you.  Never want kinds.  I do not like them in a box.  I do not like them wearing socks.  I do not like them with green eggs n ham, I do not like them, Sam I Am.

 

Some kids are alright, but only when they reach the age of reason.  And even then, it's rare to find an okay one.  But I've always felt extremely uncomfortable around kids that are too young for me to be able to converse with on an adult level.

 

You know, I knew I never wanted kids from when I was old enough to be self-aware.  Growing up, a lot of people told me I would change my mind.  Even when I was an adult in my late teens and early twenties, older adults would say things like, "never say never", and "you say that now!".  Oh, that one really burns me.  "You say that noooowwww!"  If there's one thing I can't take, it's not being believed.  Well, I'm almost 30, still hate kids, still live with my parents, unemployed, worthless deadbeat, never been on so much as a first date in my life.  Do you believe me now?

I am shocked at how large the "irritating" bar is! You know, as I exist more and more as a brony I'm being given more and more evidence that we aren't what I thought we were. Here I thought we were a great cultural shift and possessed of surprising maturity in amusing but profound contrast with the subject of our passion.

 

But it's hard to reconcile that ideal with the evidence that most here tolerate the presence of children with begrudging acceptance of their actions. 

 

Anyway, I picked cute. I love kids of all ages and always have. I grew up with two younger brothers and plenty of visits from lots of cousins. Not that I always got along with my brothers but it wasn't the fact that they were younger than me that bugged me sometimes as much as it was incidental problems.

[Pastel 7,630]

It depends on what they do, but they annoy me most of the time. :c

[Mouse 302]

Infants and toddlers are adorable... Until they start crying. Then they need to leave.

[Clover Heart 978]

Irritating. Very, very irritating. And honestly, I don't understand the "cute" thing at all. They're so fat and alien-looking. They're like mutant people. They just look weird. More than that, though, I'd say they're gross. They're perpetually sticky. Even when they're clean, they're still sticky. Why are they always sticky?! It's disturbing D:

[That One Pone 584]

I hate the crying.

 

I hate the diapers.

 

They are cute tho.

 

Yeah.

 

Stanley seems to hate them though.

[Pucksterv 4,508]

It depends on if the parents raise their kids right.

But still if they're complete assholes, I always find the way to handle them (in a non-aggressive way)

Guess that is my special talent.

[Haruhi-chan 486]

It depends. If they are running around screaming like banshees... then yes... annoying as ****. However, I do know most times little kids can actually be quite sweet too. We have a lot of them in the complex where we live as well so...
