Is it normal to not like other people's kids?
Yes. You don’t have to enjoy being around kids or find them cute, and that doesn’t make you a bad person—as long as you treat them kindly and respectfully.
Absolutely. Some people love the noise, questions, and chaos of kids; others find them tiring or just don’t feel much affection toward children they don’t know. You’re not required to enjoy every age group or be delighted by your friends’ little ones.
It can help to separate not liking kids’ behavior—or not wanting to spend time around them—from treating them poorly. You can be polite, set limits on babysitting or kid-centered plans, and still care about the adults in your life. If your feelings are specifically about wanting to hurt or frighten a child, that’s different, and it’s important to keep distance and get support.
