Esperahol said:I don't like children in terms of the general - I do like specific children. Or to put it differently, I like individual children (particularly those I have some authority over) - however I dislike and avoid the vast number of the disobedient little hellspawn. And before anyone goes - "you were a kid", I was a quiet child with home training. I read books and spoke like a tiny adult. And I hated the children my age, because they were loud and disorderly and appeared to loath me. I did like smaller children to a point, but I only had so much patience for them. So yeah.

I always knew I wanted to have children and the values I wanted to raise them with; you just pray you are doing all the right things. I do like other's children as well and enjoy volunteering at my son's school. Not all children are raised the same, of course; but you can tell those that don't get as much attention at home. It is always helpful to remember that all children deserve love and that you never know what is going on at home. God bless the educators who give so much to our children each day!
