I hate babies and children.

I really can’t stand them, and it’s not just because of the constant crying,pooping,etc. Even when there’s an obedient child sitting near me, I feel disgusted for no apparent reason. I have always been like this ever. People always tell me I will change my mind as I get older, but as I do so, I find myself hating them even more. I can’t stand it when people say “Oh, you were once a baby too”. I like animals though, especially dogs and reptiles. When I was a child, my sister had a baby doll which I hated passionately. I would disassemble its body parts and feel extremely happy after doing so. When I was 8, my aunt bought me a doll. It was made of cloth not plastic. I used to place it upon my knee and hit it on the backside while I made a “background voice” as if the doll was saying “Don’t, please don’t” and I would then smack it even harder. I used to hang throw my sister’s teddy bears against the wall, sometimes I would re-enact a hanging scene by tying one end of a shoelace to a knob, and the other end to the neck of the teddy bear. My favourite movie as a child was Child’s Play. To this day, I enjoy gory movies like Saw and Final Destination. Do I have some sort of personality disorder ?

Maybe. You should try and figure out why you hate them so much. Does the idea of an actual child being killed disturb you? If not, you should probably get therapy.

It is impossible for us to diagnose a mental disorder based on 3-4 sentences on a public forum. I would suggest that your feelings are not typical. If you feel the need to act out these feelings than I would suggest seeing a professional yes.

It doesn’t. When I was 9 or 10, my uncle gave me a book documenting grisly murders. I loved that book so much but it was taken away by my dad as he thought I was too young to be reading such things. There was one particular story about a girl called Fanny Adams. I was so fascinated by it, I even made a presentation about it when I was 14 ( the teacher said we could pick any topic so I chose to do a presentation on grisly murders )

I agree with the answers posted above, but I’d also like to provide you with an example of my own life.

One of my friends used to hate babies and young children. Then, about two weeks ago, she realised that her feelings had completely changed. She now things kids are cute (and wonders whether there is something wrong with her). I suppose it might have to do something with hormones.
By the way, she’s 22.

Loads of people enjoy reading ‘true crime’ books & magazines & watching horror films.

Nothing wrong with that.

I don’t like kids & will never have them - I have no maternal instinct and I do dislike it when they scream, cry, have food all over their faces, spit up etc.

Nothing wrong with that either.

However, if you have the urge to do harm to a child (or anyone else for that matter) then that is obviously a problem and you should seek professional advice.

You are entitled to hold any opinion you like, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else.

Maybe you should talk to a professional, if the thought of a helpless infant being hurt doesnt bother you.
