I too hate kids with a passion. I understand parents think they are great, but keep them away from me...
If we're discussing killing children, it's probably best to pick on large families. They may notice one less kid getting back in the car, but they are sure to notice their only child going missing!
I wouldn't even necessarily say I hate them, I just do not care about them at all. When people start talking to me about their kids I walk away or change the subject because I really just do not care. I understand that they dote over them and love them because they are parents, but I have never had that 'urge' to want to reproduce. I've never looked at a child and thought "I want one of those". I think that is a selfish attitude to have, considering in the UK at least this generation are the first to experience a lower quality of life than the generation that came before them.
I don't want to bring a new life into a world that looks uncertain, and neither do I want the burden of having to look after it. I'm at that age now where my friends are all reproducing and posting pictures of ultrasounds on their facebook or social media accounts. *yuks*. TBH if I ever did have a small human the last thing I would do would be to plaster images of it everywhere. I probably wouldn't even bother telling people as the people I care about would find out soon enough anyway.
