How do you cope?

I'm an older brother to three younger siblings, all are boys, two of which are in their hyperactive years...
I'm forced to handle them. The way I do it is I will either hide and ignore them in the confines of my room. Be nice and play with them once in a while, let out the inner child in me so to speak. Intimidation, I have the innate ability to scare little kids when necessary. I refrain from hitting any child, even my brothers.

In the end kids are tolerable to me. Unless their complete retards who think they're better than you. I just wanna punch those fuckers...

i hate kids. small kids whine too much and cry and scream. i hate it. i agree with the i hate your kid guy

Well..I'm pretty good with kids, I can pretty much change myself to match what the kid likes, for example: My two nephews love videogames, I put on the wii, an dlet them team up against me, that way, they can't argue over who won or cheated, and I have a decent challenge (they can beat me when they tema up), and they're very happy when they beat me. Now, their little sister likes playing with duplo blocks, so I get the duplo blocks, and she won't say a word , she'll just play and be happy. Now, there are two brothers (not related to me), who like playing rough, so I get out the cushions, the soft mats, and we 'fight' eachother, that way, I get some excercise, and they think I'm über-cool. When I finish college, I'm going to teach in primary school, because kids tend to almost instantly like me!

I hate kids. But what I usually do to cope with it is that I usually just ignore them - to not get their attention and after a while they just tend to quieten up and leave. But I don't spend a lot of time in children infested areas so it has been a while since I was near a kid.

I can't stand really old people either - probably because demented old peoples' minds usually reverts into a child's mind again.

I usually just ignore them, but I would at least like to be a better role model for my little sister. Her behavior is a nightmare for a guy like me to deal with, luckily she only visits on the weekend. I'm thinking about being more active in her activities, but her idea of having fun goes into conflict with mine, so its tough.

well fuck I like kids hell they are cool but sometimes the ignore the hell out of me and I try to remember that they don't know any better and soon they will turn into boring fucking adults so I try to control my temper so I just think childhood is a gift and I should'nt hit this kid cause I was a spoild freaken kid too and I be a hipacrite.
