Does anyone else not 'get' why most people like kids so much

Post Reply New Topic

Most kids are mean, annoying, snot-faced little jerks. The only ones I like are ones to whom I feel connected, either because they remind me of myself or someone I like. I don't understand the baby-talk and high-pitched "awwwww" noises that other people make though. Do babies even respond to that s*** more than if you actually talked to them like an adult? Even if they don't understand words or sentences yet, it has to be a heck of a lot more comprehensible than the cooing baby-talk.

However, I do want kids in the next ~10 years because I want to make the closest thing to another version of myself. Not because I'm like a god or something, but more abstractly because it's kind of philosophically interesting. The kid is like a mini-you, a mini-yourpartner, and really it's both and neither. I don't think many people would think this reason for making babies is a good one, but I'm sure I will love them a great deal and continue to strongly dislike most other children.
