I really do not know if I like kids of not. I really don't. My husband thinks that I believe all kids should be banish to the 7th plane of hell and be tortured there, but I just do not know anymore. It is easy to say, I hate kids, blah blah blah, and then just go about your merry way, but I honestly do not think that is where I am at. Or, I just do not like that all encompasing way of looking at how i feel, and just automatically saying you do not like kids. Life is about nuances, and those nuances make the difference in a lot of situations. I know I do not want children, but that does not mean, that I dimiss all kids. Unruley ones, yes, well behaved children, no.
In day to day life, I do not even notice children, UNLESS they are loud and obnoxious. Then i get frustrated, but I do not even pay attention to them. Most time they are like little ghosts to me. I like children to be well behaved, and when they are not, that is fine, but you just have to correct them. Kids are going to make mistakes, but it is how you correct them, that really makes the difference.
In my life, there are two kids, Marley (age 12 or 13) and Evan (age 9, I think). Marley is good. She is a teenager and therefore I am able to comminicate better with her. Evan on the other hand is devil spawn, plain and simple. I just do not like him, and honestly can not think of a good thing to say about him. Everything is all about him, and he does not take into consideration anything outside his world, and he whines about everything that he does not get. plus, he does not listen to save his life and Michael does nothing about it. And this is where I believe a parent should step in, but Michael does not. He has that parental view that his kids do nothing wrong and that frustrates me. Actually, in truth, it pisses me off.
I just do not know how much longer, I can truthfully deal with his negatve presence. It just annoys me. And i think it will be the breaking point for Michael and I. Sadly.
