I don't know if "like" is the word. I find them fun to watch for a bit, and they are a necessary stage in raising kids, but with my own kids, the older they got, the better things became. I liked the 3-6 years old stage better than the baby stage, because they become old enough to talk and not totally as dependent, and more remarkably you can see them learning something new each day. That's pretty amazing to see. And of course, then they become even older and eventually you can seen advanced reasoning and perception take hold and you start to catch more and more sight of the people they are becoming.

Kind of a long answer, but the deal is that the "baby" is the stage I preferred the least. It's all about total care, intense schedules (a three-hour sleep/play/eat cycle), etc.

Not much. They can be momentarily cute, but otherwise are messy, noisy, demanding, and don't provide much substantive interaction.

Babies are ugly and annoying. I don't see why anyone thinks they're cute.

I assume you're talking about baby humans?

I am completely resistant to their charms.

yus. although i've only rented rather than owned, and i'm sure they're easier to like when you're not stuck with the heavy responsibility of pure dependence (plus then you're sleep deprived, and everything is harder then).

I've never been comfortable around babies for some reason. Even as a little girl I didn't like baby dolls, and I've always avoided holding one. That probably sounds terrible, but it's true.

the only way i can enjoy or even tolerate other people's kids is through the enjoyment of seen my boy when his with them... in general i am not a fan of other people's kids, not to mention other people's babies.

They are pretty cute but they cry a lot and the poop stinks.

No, I hate kids/babies. My niece was a difficult specimen to love.

So much negativity on babies. Are we bad people? I thought everybody loved babies.

Interesting results. Looks like it's kinda typical among NTs.
inb4 an INTX mentions there's not enough data

I actually really like newborns and small babies. The older they get, the more they lose their appeal to me.

there needs to be a ''just my own" option...

i voted no because babies indicate plural and babies in plural hasn't happened to me yet so for me voting i like them would indicate liking other people's babies...

when its mine the answer is yes on all the options

I see. I didn't antecipate that. Don't know if it's possible to add an extra option.

NF here, but I used to dislike babies a lot when I was younger. Now, I find them pretty enjoyable because I can make goofy faces and just kinda troll them. It's fun to see how they'll react. :laugh:

I like the cute, smiling variety of baby with their chubby legs and no teeth. Haha...so ridiculous looking! :laugh:

But I think I prefer kids and toddlers, though. Provided they're not completely spoiled and awful, lots of kids are pretty interesting to hang around. It's surprisingly fun.
