It is socially more acceptable to hate kids than to hate dogs

Same. I'm a girl btw and whenever me and my boyfriend are at some relatives's place who have kids, they barely even talk to me because they always assume that I want to talk or play with their kids while they're having "adult conversation" with my bf... Simply because I'm a woman so I HAVE TO love children, right? The worst thing is when they want me to hold their babies and when I politely refuse, saying "oh I'm afraid that I'm gonna drop them or crush them", they always reply "Oh no you won't, just hold them!!".

Just because I don't want to seem like a complete asshole and I won't directly tell you that I do not want to hold your crotch goblin, it doesn't mean that I like them.
