feeling annoyed by children

I know it may seem hateful or mean, but I can't seem to help it . Small children annoy me . Everytime they cry or pitch a fit . And it mostly annoys me when they cry for nothing or just to get their way . And their parents do nothing to stop it . I just wanna yell at them
.... I feel so guilty for it

It might just be your hormones. Trust me, you'll eventually go through the same things with your own and realize that if you yell at them every single time they do it, it only gets worse. Babies/toddlers cry for very many reasons and one of the main times that they cry is when they're irritated and sleepy! You'll gain a lot of patience after having your own!

I was like that before I had kids. I just was never a kid person to begin with and im still a little awkward around other peoples kids but they dont bother me anymore if they cey or throw a fit. I usually just smile and walk away if its not my kid. I think when its your own kid you will feel completely different dont worry

It's not my children I'm currently 26 weeks . And   my sister inlaw came with her children . And they deliberately cry for no reason . Mostly it's for attention . Or when they don't get their way . I read online it happens to most expecting moms to feel annoyed by children and that it will pass. I'm just worried it's permanent . I was never like this before . I was maternal and loved children . But not I want nothing to do with them and avoid them at any cost

I used to have a lot of thoughts like that until I became a mom.  There is nothing more humbling that being a mother.  At the VERY worst time, your toddler will mortify you and you will feel helpless.  And someone will witness it and give you a disapproving look knowing that they blame YOU for this misbehavior and you are 'dear in headlights' so this misrepresentation of your parenting is left to be.  Oh, it happens to everyone.  Since becoming a mom, when I see a screaming banshee running down a store aisle, I glance at them but then look at their parents with empathy and say "oh, it happens to us all.  No worries."  

Because it will be your kiddo some day irritating someone else.  

No one likes a screaming and crying child.  But, hey.  Some just do that more than others.  Hopefully they learn to use their words.  good luck

Sometimes by ignoring their fits theyre throwing your actually making things easier because my kids will throw fits over everything but if you ignore it then they realize theyre not getting their way and give up. Even though it might be irritating, if you dont already have children then you will learn over time that you as a parent cant control everything your kid does especially the screaming and crying and throwing a fit. Sometimes its just because theyre tired and theres not mich you can do about that if your out and about. Sometimes theyre just being bratty and you can do something about it to change their attitudes but if my kid is throwing because they want their way the last thing im going to do is let them have what they want when theyre acting out like that.
