17 Ways You Know You Don't Like Kids

Some people love kids, like love them so much. I am not one of those people. I am sure I will love my own kids one day, but I don't feel any desire to be around children ever.

If this is sounding familiar to you, here are 17 sure signs that you are not a kids person.


1. When people show you pictures of their babies, you respond, "Yep. That's definitely a baby."

2. Newborns aren't beautiful to you. They look like aliens.

3. Babysitting is an actual nightmare, and no matter how good the pay is, it is never worth it.

4. If you ever are forced to babysit, you put that kid in front of a movie and call it a day.

5. When people start to hand you a child, you reflexively run away.

6. If you get sat at the 'kids table' at weddings, you will literally never actually be at your table.

7. You get annoyed when a 7-year-old can't have an intelligent conversation with you.

8. You wish there was a mute button for people.

9. When your friends say that one day you will be their children's God Mother, you just laugh and mutter, "Fools." to yourself.

10. When people ask you why you don't like kids, you say it is because they are annoying.

11. When people ask you why you want to have kids if you don't like them, you say because they will be half me and awesome.

12. In the choice between helping a kid and a dog, you always choose the dog. Every. Time.

13. You have no patience for the 300 questions kids will ask you...

14. ...And you walk away when they start talking to you.

15. You like baby showers because you can buy a gift and hang out with adults, but once the baby is on the scene, you make yourself scarce.

16. You avoid places like Chuck-E-Cheese, Toys 'R' Us, and the Disney Store like the plague.

17. Basically, you just stay away from kids at all times and hope that the maternal gene kicks in while pregnant.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
