Do you hate children?

Someone left a Willamette Week in the restroom yesterday. I glanced at the front page and noticed the headline “Do you hate children? And travel?” I thought it was an odd headline so today I looked it up online. Turns out the article had nothing to do with children or travel but was about what Oscar films you hated. I give them credit for a catchy headline but was very disappointed in the actual article.

Before I looked up the article, I was intrigued by the question, do you hate children? I am always curious about why people hate and what good it does them. Especially when it really is just hating someone for who they happen to be, not because they’ve actually done anything to harm you or make your life miserable. So why do people hate children? I can see not liking a child based on their actions/annoyance level, etc. but how can you hate all children? I actually feel very sorry for people like that.

Something to ponder:

The attitude you have as a parent is what your kids will learn from more than what you tell them. They don’t remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are. – Jim Henson

Today

I am in love with my daughters.

I am so fascinated by what they say and do. I marvel at their intelligence, their insight and thoughtfulness. They are really developing into wonderful young adults and I wonder how that happened! I am very proud of them and I am humbled.

Aren't they Cute?
