I just don't fit in....

I have some people telling me that they think I'm the sort of person who loves kids so much that I don't mind their screaming (so not true, by the way - I mind the screaming, I just understand that it's not always evitable). And then other people ask me why I'm posting in certain forums if I "hate children". I do love children (in a general sense. This may or may not apply to YOUR child). I find them easier to understand than most adults, anyway, and I like doing a LOT of the same things (wow, that's an embarassing confession!).

But apparently, my not wanting to have kids means I hate them.

*sighs*

Okay, I need something new to talk about. Hold on, I'm going to check the news....

*grumbles*

Nothing interesting. Grr.

Well, sometimes you *do* have to be the badguy. You have to say "no, seth, you're not allowed to pull hair" and "no, ana, you're not getting what you want by throwing a melodramatic temper tantrum" and I don't like it :(

But yes, positive reinforcement is the way to go.
