I don’t like kids. They’re messy, annoying, loud, etc. more often than not and as they’re not mine, ew. Add to that one time when I had a lady loudly claim I was trying to hurt her kid when said kid walked up to me thinking I was my father (a school employee) and I really dislike (literally palms a little sweaty, waiting for someone to say I’m doing something) being near kids if my wife isn’t around.
However, if a kid comes up to me and is all “hey someone’s on the phone for you” and hands me a toy phone, I’m gonna answer it and be good to the kid. Friend of mine and I used to put on little concerts for the preschoolers while we waited for the school bus, too.
If someone who actively tries to not be around children can manage to be a decent person towards one for a little while then people who can’t have no excuse.
Absolutely
