I'm not "kid-hating" my nephews

I'm not a "kid hater." I like the idea of my nephews, and I love that they aren't mine because I personally will never want kids. I am so grateful that I get to enjoy them without having the responsibility of raising them. I take them on fun adventures that I get to choose where I know they'll be happy, get to spoil them, don't have to get up at 5am to feed anyone but myself, and I get to give them back to their parents when I know I'm reaching my limit. All of the fun, none of the responsibility.<br><br>I know my sister truly loves my nephews since she is a SAHM, but it seems like she doesn't even enjoy spending time with them. She even refers to her kids as her "burden" or "job" that she "can't wait to get out of" and how she wishes she could just "stop having kids already" so that she can "start her life again". I know she's probably being hyperbolic, but it seems like she doesn't love spending time with them or doesn't think it's fun at all to be around them.<br><br>I know plenty of people love their kids, but I've never been one to enjoy kids. I don't like them or hate them, I'm just apathetic to their existence. I only really care about my nephews and my sister, as I am their family. I wish my sister and her husband could enjoy raising kids, but they don't. I wish they could understand the perspective that I love my nephews, but I love being able to leave them and give them back at the end of the day. I'll never understand why my sister feels like my nephews are a burden and a job, but I think she probably feels judged by my lack of maternal instincts and feels like she needs to justify that there are downsides to having kids.<br><br>EDIT: thank you all for the kind comments, I'm feeling much better now. It also just came to me that my sister probably sounds so miserable about kids because she feels like she doesn't have anyone to talk to, and she's probably right. She's surrounded by people who either love kids or want to have kids, and I'm the only one who doesn't want kids. I appreciate all your perspectives on the matter, and I think I might sit down and have a talk with her. I'll let you all know how it goes if it does happen.
