...At least, that's what so many sappy Hollywood movies try to cram down our throats.
There are children who are fun to be around. It's fun to be around children who are insightful, intelligent, and friendly. My cousins, for example, are good kids.
Most children these days are not like that. The kids I grew up with were selfish, cruel, little dipshits. The kids who were apparantly "nice" were little backstabbing assholes/bitches. The "smart" kids were full of themselves and thought society owed them something for being "smart". Most children are like this these days.
It's most likely because of how adults are. Adults work all day (never having time for their children), and then blame the media and other people for their kids being such little undisiplined brats. No one can deal with the fact that being a parent is not for everyone. Everyone absolutely has to have kids, and adoption isn't "good enough".
Hollywood, there's a good reason why some of us hate most kids. These days, kids are not the joyful little balls of fun and baseball and ballet you make them out to be. They are brats. Believe it or not, some of us apply the age-old saying of "treat others as you wish to be treated" to kids. If we should be nice to these children, why shouldn't they be nice to us first? If we treat them nicely and just let them walk all over us and take advantage of the fact that we're "big people with money", can you not even begin to imagine what kind of adults they'll become?
I know that I'd be a terrible parent. That's why I decided to never breed. The most I'll do is donate money to already existing children who don't have anything.

I love how Hollywood only portarys the adorable smart children in the movies, and not the snot-nosed, messy haired, gap toothed whiny brats that seem to be much more common. I don't hate all kids, just most of them. I would probably make an ok mom, but would end up feeling resentful and like it wasn't worth it and where did 18 years of my life go and wheres all my money? I don't think of myself as gloomy, just practical. If I make something, I want it to last for a long time. If the kid is just going to die in 60 or so years, then whats the point?

YAY A RANT!! xd
It is sad... plus how hollywood makes kids look... all innocent and fun and pleaseing...
It seems more and more these days that hollywood is involving kids in their movies... it is annoying as all ********!!! Especially when the kid is the key to saving the race... or to someones happiness...

We need more Angelicas on TV, tell it like it is people. (rugrats)
While not all kids are brats, like you said, most of them are now days thanks to a crapy environment they're coming from, composed of bad: parents, media, and local communities. They have things instilled in from birth so they grow up to be low quality individuals who perpetuate the trend all over again. Kids disapoint me so much. I've stopped looking around for promising ones to hope they'll grow up to be individuals worth knowing, because in the end, society gets to them too often and it's just too much of a spirit crusher to watch it happen.
You know, i'd just like to make one tiny alteration in your description of kids today- change "selfish" to "greedy entitlement minded." Why? It's in my experience growing up- I used to be one of those naive little kids told to be generous and nice and always consider other people's feelings first, so this then lead to nothing but abuse by others of me, getting all my stuff from me just by asking until I had nothing left or felt guilty for keeping my own last half a sandwhich because somebody else wanted it. In the end, I had to learn I had the right to my own stuff and no matter how polightly they may ask, other's don't have the first claim on your stuff just because they want it. Nobody cared if I had lunch, they just wanted my lunch and thought that their want of it gave them the right to it. Seriously, you tell them "no, it's my food." And they call you a selfish little snot. Selfish-yeah, you have a right to your own stuff. Greedy entitlement- now that is the problem though, they think they have a right to what ISN'T theirs too.

Show parents the truth...

As for Hollywood...well, the closest thing you'll find to a negative portrayal of children are those "devil baby" movies. You know, Rosemary's Baby, It's Alive, The Omen, etc. But yeah, no realistic takes on the subject. confused

The best baby I've ever seen was from Dinosaurs. I'm sure if he was the firstborn that he would have been an only child. smile

"I want rehab that involves juice and cookies and nap time crying " And yes, as satisfying as it may be too see such an extreme evil version, the lack of realism does indeed undercut any possable message getting through.
