I really hate babies am I weird?
I’m staying childfree my whole life, I’ve known this since I was young but not just because I don’t want kids, I absolutely despise them, I’m 17 and I’m often deemed too young to know if I want children but i absolutely can’t stand babies/ young children, they repulse me, the thought of being pregnant when I’m older makes me feel physically ill. I have a baby cousin and I can’t even play with him or hold him, I don’t like being near him,I know it sounds horrible because he is family but I really just can’t stand babies. I feel wrong for it I’ve only held him once and that was because I was forced and I started crying after I was so overwhelmed because of how much I didn’t like it. I have autism so I don’t know if that somehow has anything to do with this but yeah, hate children, repulsed by the idea of motherhood, especially hate babies and don’t find them cute. I am a nice person I am not evil I just really can’t stand them and I feel like such a freak for it.
Most people my age find them cute or want them when I’m older and I’ve always hated the idea of parenthood and hated being around kids.
(Edit: wow a lot of responses, also to those concerned about my usage of the word “hate” yes it’s a strong word, but not everyone likes children nor feels maternally towards them and I think that is hard to understand when you DO feel positively about children , I would never intentionally hurt or upset a child I need to make that abundantly clear)
