r/childfree - Where child-haters congregate

[TowinKarz]

"Most people admire my child free lifestyle"

"To be fair, you have to have a pretty high IQ to really understand the deeper meaning behind a childfree existence."

A bit powerlovel here. I'am from a family with multiple cousins and niece. Seeing this thread has make my 75% brain cells dead . These lunatics are surely come from someone who failed to do abortion

"To be fair, you have to have a pretty high IQ to really understand the deeper meaning behind a childfree existence."

But apparently not a high enough IQ to understand what it means when your own family only interacts with you on holidays.

Late, but I find it ironic that the same people who hate children act like young children whenever they don't get their way or get annoyed.

An amazing example of this is the infamous "AUGH STUPID CROTCHTWAT STOLE MY HARRY POTTER BOOK I WANNA STAB EM WITH MY WAND" rant.

Theyre all, without fail, totally immature. It's normal for a 12 year old to have that much of an aversion to smaller kids, but it's usually because they're insecure about being "just a kid". Actual adults are supposed to be past that. When they aren't it's...weird.

This wasn't even on r/childfree. This was on a city based subreddit, I checked his post history and he mainly posts in r/Libertarian. Jesus this man has some pent up issues

Seems like one of those "left" libertarians.

Okey-dokey, this thread finally tricked me into registering here.

I'm childless and married and intend to stay in both categories for the forseeable future. (That's not powerleveling, is it?)

Something that has always baffled me is the way any time I expressed irritation with children (to other adults; I'm not a dick to kids) I could count on at least one individual hitting me with "But YOU were once a child! *Smugly chuckles.*"

This never made any sense to me; how does that mean kids can't be annoying? I'm saying they bother me, not that they don't deserve to exist, ffs

But now. . . Oh no. I've been getting lumped in with these sorts of lunatics? I almost want to have kids just to distance myself from these fedora tipping psychopaths.

There's an obvious difference, though, between someone who says "I don't think I'm the type of person who should have children." and these idiots who are like "YOU ruined your LIFE for a CHILD? Ha! Have fun with your shit-covered hands while I keep going to bars and having F-U-N!"

If you're reasonable, no one cares. If you dislike children, just tell the parent you're with that you're really bad around kids. Be open to understanding why a kid does things. You don't have to fall in love with them, just treat them with respect. Pretty simple.

But these fuckers love wallowing in their hatred and flinging shit at everyone so they can turn bellow their hatred to whoever makes the mistake of listening. They're drunk on their own tardcum. THAT's why we laugh at them. Because they're hilarious trainwrecks of beings.

I understand and respect the choice to go childfree since child rearing is a big responsibility that not everyone wants or needs.
I do get pissed off at the sheer number of child haters judging toddlers for crying and calling them insulting names. Small children can't express themselves like adults can and it's no one's fault that they are screaming. Like jeez have a heart. It's annoying but the parent can't do much other that try to distract them and the child certainly can't calm down until they're ready/exausted. Some of these edge lords forget that kids are humans worthy of basic respect. But they are also not mini adults and you need to lower your expectations in order to maintain your own sanity.
I take it very much to heart when rabid childfree folks act like children are a disease.
I feel like something of a pariah amongst my peers because my partner has a kid who I love to bits. Some of my own friends bang on about how gross kids are so I daren't talk about the kid in my life. I feel like a nuisance.
I would never make a childfree person feel shit about their choice if only some of them returned the favour.
I used to know a woman online who was so anti child she confessed wanting to physically hurt crying babies. She had no shame about it either.

I genuinely think a large segment of the populace has no clear memories of childhood. Either they idealize children as innocent angels and treat them like an alien species, or they decide that since children aren't good at being adults, they're inherently awful. The latter are the ones who scream at kids for sitting down next to them at a restaurant, because an adult breaking social norms is a potential threat, and what are kids to them but tiny adults?


It's always important to remember how different different peopepeo life experiences are. In my social circles, I'm the weird sicko who doesn't want kids in his house. It sounds like you deal with much the same thing in reverse.

It's not a far trip from resenting new parents who think they're your superior because they have children to resenting the children.

That said, anyone who wants to hurt babies needs to be euthanized. They're self selecting out of the breeding pool anyway, so really it's just good herd management to send their carcase to auction

Imagine REEEing over seeing an advertisement or a photo with children in them. The first reply is a real winner though.

 

[Krispy Skream]

I have a really bad habit of trying to understand where people are coming from. I retract the sliver of sympathy in my previous post.

 

[Nekromantik]

Why would you read something like that in public anyway other than getting edgy points. I have theses comics, it's not just gore, there's partial nudity. It's a HELLRAISER comic.

I get being annoyed at parents who overshare, like posting pics of their kid covered in shit. (There used to be a blog about parental overshare called STFU parents, but the owner sperged out over the Ferguson issue years ago and then vanished). But, normal family photos aren't anything to rage over.

I understand the utter shock at someone grabbing something you own. Hell, if an adult did that, I'd be like "Do you want me start screaming? Because I will."

But you're on a plane. Next to a child. Yeah, you want to read an adult book, sure, but kids are insanely curious (especially if they see pictures). I barely spend ANY time around them and I know that. The best course of action would be to put in headphones and try and sleep or something. Read the book somewhere else. But instead, they clutched their pearls, accused the mother of not parenting, and had a little moment that... hmm.. the kid was curious... maybe they didn't mean to be impulsive? But nope. It went away because 'Shouldn't this disgusting thing know not to touch someone's stuff?'

Like I'm pretty sure your grubby hands touched people's things too. It's a fucking child. Just calmly tell them "Oh, this book can't be read by children yet, sorry. I know it looks interesting, but it's not very appropriate." Then put it away. At worst, the kid will just ask you a bunch of why questions, and at best they'll focus on their mom.

How strange that someone would hope their organs helped a child live a full life, rather than give a second chance to some geezer who ruined theirs through their own choices

The reason people do this is to remind you that people had to put up with you at one point, and now that you're an adult, it's your societal obligation to put up with children. The circle of life or whatever.

Reading the very last sentence makes me want to believe that it's a troll, there's just no way

 

[Krispy Skream]

The point of that post was a realization of how I was being perceived. I guess you have to be mad on the internet to be concerned others thought you were a nutjob who needed reminding that children are human beings.
