If so, why do you want them / how do you like it?

I hope this can be more of a wholesome post about cute stories, instead of more dooming and glooming.

Not a parent, nor do I want kids. I have turned into a bit of a grump because I think they're annoying. That's basically it. They're loud and sometimes get in your way, as I've seen plenty of times the kids at the apartment complex I live in do. At least the kids here are respectful enough not to mess with us adults living here, so I'm lucky.

But if anyone else wants kids, I don't really care because that's their problem.

    I can count on one hand the number of kids that truly annoyed me and were actually little shits. For the other millions of encounters I usually am smiling to myself as my or someone else's kid does something silly. I think kids are cute little chaos goblins. They keep things interesting. Have you ever considered eating a strawberry wrapped in sliced deli meat? Thanks to my 11yo last night I have now contemplated how awful that probably is.
