kids suck


Question Posted Sunday May 18 2008, 5:49 pm

So i absolutely HATEHATEHATE babies and anyone under the age of 10. they just really piss me off.
well my mom made me move in with her boyfriend who has 2 sons, one of which has a girlfriend who also lives with them. well she was pregnant. but they induced labor yesterday (gag) because she was a week overdue (big deal). and now its like everything revolves around that stupid thing, and its only been ONE DAY. my mom doesnt tell me i love you on the phone anymore she left me home alone all day today so she could go to the hospital and go see the repugnant thing, and i know that whenever my family comes over theyre not going to want to see me anymore its all gonna be about that monster.
so all im really asking is how do i make it through all this, and how do i not kill it, and deal with the crying, and all that shit. and most of all how do i get over my hate. because i seriously hate ALL kids.
I couldnt have gone with her I WASNT FREAKING HOME WHEN SHE LEFT. I WAS WITH MY DAD. AND CAME HOME TO A DESERTED HOUSE. NO NOTE OR ANYTHING. SHE DIDNT EVEN CALL TO TELL ME SHE LEFT. SO I CALLED AND SHE SAID IM GOING TO THE HOSPITAL CAN YOU GET SOME MEAT OUT OF THE FRIDGE BYE. ( sorry about caps) she always says i love you before she hangs up and she hasnt at all since it was born. im not jealous, it just hurts my feelings because its not even part of our family at all, and i dont even get told i lvoe you anymore. and this is an advice site. i asked this question for ADVICE not to be criticized because of my question. so just stop it already..

Don't be so selfish. Leave the room when the baby is in there if you don't like it so much. Spend more time with your dad so you don't have to be around your new roommates. Go to therapy for Christ's sake. Hating kids that much is really unhealthy. You were that age once, and no one managed to get rid of you.

Have you asked this question before? I only ask because of your last comment in your question. It's much simpler to just add info than re-write your question again. Not criticisim, just an observation.

When somebody is a week overdue, there could be some complications which could threaten the baby AND the mother's life, so it's important to induce labour (even though you say 'gag', it's necessary: how do you think you were born then?). And the thought of losing a child which you've carried for a good 9 months is heart breaking so the doctors HAVE to do something. Another thing is that people hang around the baby because those first few days are critical, to see if the baby's health is fine as well as the mother. Even though the baby isn't part of the family, it's still good to be around a give support to the mother. But in a way, the baby is part of the family, just distantly: your mother's boyfriend's son's wife's baby (if that makes sense)

Once upon a time (no pun intended), you were a child and your parents had to pretty much go through with what you listed above. The sleepless the nights, the vomit, the poo, the crying etc. They had to go through it when you were young. All babies are like that: it's just nature. Plus, all babies are sweet when they're young and there are so many 1st's (like first smile, first cry, first sleep etc.) and everybody wants to be part of it because if you miss it, you'll never get those moments back.

Second of all, try and find out as to WHY you hate kids. Sure, you've mentioned all the crying etc. but I'm willing to bet that there is another reason as to why you don't like kids. Think back: when did this hate start? It has to start before the brith of the baby (note: I use the word 'baby' and not 'it').

As for your mum not calling you when you came back: ever thought that she didn't know that she was going to be that long at the hospital or that you'd be home at that time? Time can fly at a hospital, and even quicker around a baby.

As for the 'I love you', how about saying it first, then you're likely to get a response from your mum or from anybody? Plus, she was on her way to the hospital so I'm assuming that she was driving, so it's kinda dangerous to speak on the phone and drive at the same time.

Why don't you go and see the baby for once? Then you can try and find out as to why people love babies. You'll never get over this hate, unless you try and right it yourself. But just ensure you aren't with the baby by yourself. You may not like to be with the baby...in fact, you won't like being there but just spend some time with the baby and see how you get on. You can complain all you want, but just rejecting it isn't going to make things any better and wanting the need to hate the baby just doesn't help.

Babies don't cry all the time, only when they want food or something is wrong. They crap when they need to crap, they can't control it yet.

Talk to your mum about what YOU were like when you were a baby and see what she says. Tell her what you're feeling. It's important because you can take her advice or ours and see which one works the best. Plus, she would know as to how you feel about the baby and will propbably ask why.

I hope this helped,
triquetra

Edit:
Ah, I've just seen your original question. If you got the advice which you didn't want, why have you written out your question again with the additional information which you included in your original question?

Ugo answered Monday May 19 2008, 11:29 am:
I have no idea how long your parents have been divorced, but the change in the family system that comes when a custodial parent brings someone new into the family, is usually very rough for kids and youth (especially only children); and anger and sometimes rage are common feelings that come about. The dynamics of the home has shifted, and you find yourself no longer being the primary focus of your mother's attention. Not only are you now in new territory, but your mother's boyfriend also comes with his own family, and possibly issues that you are forced to deal with. New borns being the helpless and loving beings they are, demand a lot of attention around the clock, so you have gone from a relatively calm household to a busy one, and this could be the source of your anger.
These words being written, I am troubled by your “ hate for children” and your request for advice on “ how not to kill the baby”. I have three advices for you:
Please move in with your father/ if you are met with resistance on this request, please confide with your mother what you are going through.
You present with issues of false entitlement; you should be the one to initiate the “I love you” statements to your mum, whether in person or over the phone. I am positive she will return the sentiment.
Please see a therapist, while your anger is understandable, moving in with your mother's boyfriend and all, you have sat on that anger for too long without exploring real feelings which contribute to that anger. I do believe you are jealous, for the simple fact that you now have to share your mother's attention with others in the household.
Good luck.

Wow.

You hate children to the point of wondering how not to kill this baby?

You need therapy. This hate is very unhealthy.

You need to stop being so selfish right now. The family is going through something difficult and they need your support more than your whining. A week overdue could mean a lot of things, and they want this baby to be healthy. Just because you do not like kids does not mean that everyone else in the world does not. Your mom wants what is best for you, and obviously thinks you are old enough to NOT be the center of the universe. You need to open your eyes and realize that you are not a kid anymore, so you need to start acting your age, not your shoe size. As for your mother not saying "I love you" on the phone, trying saying it first. She will most likely return it.

Your mother's boyfriend has a family of his own, and is trying his best to be there for them. You, on the other hand, just moved in and will take time to get used to. His blood is his first priority, and your mother is just trying to help. So I think you need to stop trying to suck up all the oxygen in the world and eat some humble pie, because things are not going to change just because you want to.

This is not what you want to hear and I am probably going to get a low rating. But you need a reality check, and you are not going to get it by thinking everything revolves around you.
