Screaming Children

To be fair though, you did say in your first sentence that you were not a fan of children in general. Maybe I am numb to it, or maybe you are just super sensitive to it, but I rarely go out in public and encounter screaming children throwing a tantrum. Sure, every once in awhile it happens, but it's definitely not an everyday occurrence.

 

Just because I'm not a fan doesn't mean I hate them. Hate is a very strong word. When I'm around children who aren't screaming I find them to be cute. But I am very awkward around children and I can't interpret their mannerisms easily and so I'm not a fan. Hate is too strong a word.

 

Why dont you just put earplugs in?

 

Nobody said you hated them.

I wish I was four as well. Sometimes...

 

@ampumpkin - don't be sad ..it's not a lack of tolerance towards children, it's a lack of the tolerance for the portion of useless parents who let their children behave in an acceptable way. It is fair to say there are obviously also a lot of parents out there doing superb jobs at raising beautiful little human beings

@Karl28 - I actually did have earplugs in THANK GOD ...tantrum throwing children are one of the main reasons I can't go out in public without full plugs in. Believe me the kid that was having a tantrum next to me must have been hitting 120db easy ...so even with foam plugs in, when it is right next to me like that it still came through loud :|

@Michael2013 - I didn't mean to suggest that no parent should ever complain, I was referring to the select bunch who complain continuously about how much their children make their lives difficult. Also it is heartwarming that you feel that way about your children and it must be nice to have that purpose in life. I actually wish I did want children as I can see how it must be very fulfilling in many ways but for me personally I just don't really like them very much - screaming or not lol

 

Earplugs only go so far sometimes. If the child is right next to you and is screaming at the top of their lungs it's gonna go right through my earplugs. Plus my T is quite reactive and even sounds below 85dB makes it louder. I wear earplugs everywhere I go but I suppose I should just expect there to be a loud child everywhere now. T sucks.

 

Hahahhahaha okay that cheered me up a little bit.

 

Screaming children are my biggest nemesis of t and h.
One screaming baby on the bus this morning for 30 minutes.
Mom was just looking at her iPhone.
Felt like going up to tell her to put a pacifier in its mouth.

 

This seems relevant here.

 

I just simply can't stand them. I don't care how many people passively-aggressively feel "sorry" for me.
