I have to admit that I don't like kids. Never have, which made for a hard childhood of my own.

I never apologize for feeling the way I do, and I think that, like Susan Kramer said, you need to make sure you ADORE kids before you even think about having them.
The fact is that most child-free people like kids alright but they just don't want any. I am one of the group that really can't stand kids or being around them. I try not to be mean or awkward in social situations that calls for a joining of kids and adults, but I can't help it. I'd like society to accept that not only do many people not want any kids, but many also do not particularly care for them. That doesn't make these people evil. It simply makes them human with their individualistic tastes.
