Don’t like kids?

I’m pregnant with my first kid and well I don’t like kids. I’m really excited about the pregnancy and think I will be happy when he’s born. I don’t have a ton of friends or family around, including not having a partner so I’m trying to build friendships. It makes the most logical sense to create friendships with other moms as welll be in the same stage of life. However…..I actually really don’t like kids that much and feel like a lot of parent lack the skills to correct bad behavior. I’m not trying to be judgmental just stating why I have a hard time with kids. Anyone else feel that way? Help!

Me! I’m an only child with a very small family, so I grew up around no children being almost the youngest. I can’t stand kids and ofc don’t get me wrong I will absolutely adore my daughter. But most of my friends and family have cut me off so it’s just me and a handful of people I am very very greatful for. But me? I don’t know how to care for a child let alone a newborn. But one thing my child will never be short of is love I can make that promise to her.

@Maggie you sound like me! I have doubt I’ll figure out how to care for my baby but those kids that say “why” a million times drives me up a wall! How do you make friends, especially as an adult? I didn’t grow up where I live so I virtually know nobody.

This is where you make friends! Apps like this that allow you to connect. I’m also not from the city that I live in so I completely feel you. my snap is maggiemilla128 and my number is 5048131779 if you need anything or want to talk plz plz reach out!

I have a coworker that hates other people’s kids and he loves being a dad lol those things are not related for sure! And it does feel like jackpot becoming friends with a mom with similar style as you when you have your baby, but it’ll happen!
