I find the whole concept of this topic to be utterly ridiculous.
After all, there are many teenagers here who are about as irritating as any screaming baby or bratty toddler.
And as teenagers, you people have little room to talk, as concerns parental issues. In time, if you actually mature, your views on children will likely change substantially. And until you are a parent, you cannot possibly comprehend why a normal, healty parent isn't driven crazy by such things.
Talk about the "pot calling the kettle black". Sheesh.

I agree with you completely...even though I am a teenager. XD
Okay, I am certainly not the biggest baby/toddler fan in the world...infact a few years ago I really didn't like them, and had no patience with my wee toddler & baby cousins. But now I find babies adorable. Almost irresistably adorable. They have a warm natural smell to them, and their faces are usually the sweetest thing. To hold one of these precious life forms in your arms is amazing. Because life truly is amazing, and I can see that just by looking in a baby's eyes.
That is why I find them cute.
Okay, now I really don't plan on being a mother...but I'm only 14, way too early to decide that kind of stuff. XD But I know for a
fact that females' instincts change as they get older, and after getting married, they'll want to have something both parents can share their love with. Namely a child of their own flesh & blood. Usually.
Yes, they cry alot, and
yes, that's annoying. But they have
no other way of communicating with their parents...how else are they supposed to know when the baby is hungry or in pain, or...whatever. And about the pooping and spitting...that is kinda taking it too far.
All humans gotta go when they gotta go...like a baby has any choice when or where to do it.

And babies spit? I've never been near a baby who spits, and I've had alot of baby cousins.
Hmmm...toddlers get on my nerves alot more than babies. I hate it when they scream and cry to get what they want...and it gets annoying when they
beg you to play with them when you just want to talk to the older people.
But remember they're brains are still developing and they are
still learning. They don't understand so many things...which is why parents have to teach them this stuff.
I agree with pretty much everything JerseyCaptain said.
I have spoken. Flame my opinion, if you like. Babies can't do that, can they? No. Get my point?
