Is it normal to not like kids?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s normal not to enjoy being around kids or feel drawn to them. You can be respectful toward children without wanting to spend time with them or have any of your own.
People vary a lot in how much they enjoy kids. They can be loud, unpredictable, and a lot of work, and not everyone finds that charming—especially if you value quiet or just don’t feel a natural connection with them.
Not liking kids doesn’t make you a bad person, and you don’t have to want children of your own. The important distinction is between not enjoying their company and treating them unkindly; you can keep your distance when possible and still be considerate.
