Not many people like kids that are not their own, come on they are loud messy and non stop! But all that doesn't matter when you have your own. The feelings you have for your own kids can't be put into words. And someone that simply doesn't like kids shouldn't let that be the deciding factor about having kids of their own, because believe me you will love them no matter what.
Interestingly enough, even though I don't want my own kids and I really cannot stand baby smell, I actually adore kids. I grew up babysitting for colleagues of my mom and running around after my nephew... you don't go through 5 years of babysitting autistic twins without some real love for kids I tell you that!

Except when I'm at work. Then I hate kids. Usually because their parents bring in 10 of them at a time and let them run around my store screaming and breaking things and then fuss at me when I ask the parents to please tell the children to stop running. I think I'll hang a sign on the front doors that says "No Kids Allowed Without A Leash"!
