You are a crass individual. This is what I was talking about in the other post about sometimes it is best not to say what you mean. There are times when diplomacy is the best approach. That person will never respect you again. The best insult to a parent is to say something negative about their kids

You could be gracious and say they're cute, and add, but kids really aren't your thing. And then smile politely. You know, be nice when it doesn't hurt is a pretty good philosophy.

OP, I don't see anything wrong with what you said and I have kids. You don't like them? Your perogative, so stay away. If the person you said this to is someone you are dating then best end the relationship for the sake of all involved. Never a good idea to lie Mr "Diplomacy" because in the end, the truth comes out one way or another. Better to be upfront even if it is crass. No self respecting parent is going to care about a person not like kids in general or specifically. It would be stupid, insecure and self involved to be insulted.

The thing that I wonder is if you're talking about someone you'd like to have a relationship with -- like, if she has kids already, or he has kids already, and you say you don't like kids and the romantic interest asks if you like their kids and you said no. If that's the case, cut them loose

Go find someone else, because their kids will ALWAYS be a part of their life . . .even if they're not the custodial parent, and even once the kids are over 18. Parenthood is forever, if you're lucky. It just changes in scope and intensity when they're grown.

From OP: It should be noted that people ask this question RIGHT after I finish saying I hate kids. We're not even originally talking about their kids, but it's like they are looking for validation that THEIR kids are better than everyone else's, and who better to prove it than someone who hates kids? They, however, do not expect that I won't blatantly contradict what I just said simply for the sake of avoiding awkwardness.

From OP: Also, I am never in a relationship with a parent for that reason. This is relating to general conversations in life.

Thanks for making that clearer. So many single people do come with kids.

I hate kids too and experience the same thing. You are probably more polite than me though- I tend to say something like "you must not have been paying attention, I just told you I think children are disgusting."

anyone who would say whatever they feel about a parent's kid is disturbed. I agree about not dating someone with kids though. I am not a kid kind of guy. Especially if they were never married. Not because of the kid. Because someone irresponsible enough to have a kid out of wedlock often times are not responsible enough to be good dating material.

Thanks for clarifying OP and I agree that this is a lame attempt to fish for a compliment or look for validation on the parents part. Says to me this parent is not much of a parent (which might be a big part of why you hate kids - many parents these days who should have never been parents and the kids are the result of that). I am the above poster with kids so, you hate my kids - that's cool. We probably would not spend too much time together but I think I can manage not to be offended and still find some redeeming qualities in you. I appreciate your bluntness.

I never liked children, never thought I wanted any, once I got older decided, I did want them.. Had two,and to this day., I DONT like MOST peoples children, THEY are NOT raised, THEY are not people I would want to spend time with. Bottom line, YOU dont have to think kids are GREAT.JUST cause they exsist. And funny thing now that my children are of childbearing age.. THEY both HATE children too. LOL

The OP was being honest and most postings here have an issue with it. There is nothing in this universe that states: "You must like children!". I think people that claim they like children HAVE NEVER MET ONE! If someone wants to test your honesty, they deserve your answer.
