Am I wrong for feeling this way about childfree?

I'm a childfree woman (31f) and this past year I've felt frustrated towards the community. I saw so many posts about downsides of kids, posts that were at best insulting and dehumanizing to children and at worst just mean, and posts that made assumptions about parents. <br><br>I felt uncomfortable because I realize that the message of childfree was to simply live a life that made you happy and fulfilled, period. You don't have to prove to anyone that your path is better or right just because you know that it's right for you. It's not my place to say whether or not someone else should have kids. <br><br>I don't want kids. I'm not physically or mentally equipped to parent. I get satisfaction out of being an aunt because I can spoil them and then give them back to my siblings. I'm happy with my life. <br><br>It's come to my attention that there are childfree people out there who hate children. Why? What did they do to you? They're not responsible for the decisions of their parents. They didn't ask to be brought into this world. They're not inherently terrible or evil. They're not stupid because they're young. You don't have to like kids. I don't have to like kids. But I don't hate them. Why do you?
