Well i dont have kids of my own yet. But i do have a nephew and 2 neices. I love them all and i love to play with them. But i feel very angry when they start to cry or demand for something. Do kids frustrate you when they cry or demand for something?

I don't think anger is a good reaction to crying unless you know they're trying to manipulate you on purpose. I get upset when children cry. Now that my sons are grown, the only children I hear crying are in the stores where their moms are shopping. They're small children, toddlers mostly, and their moms are ignoring their crying while they shop. Children that small cry because they need something--they're probably tired or hungry. I'd like to smack those mothers and take their children from them.

Yeah sometimes it frustrate me specially when I doing something and that noise is disturbing me but my sister is different she will make the kids cry and once they are crying she'll take photo of theme. I cant get along with my sister when there are kids around us because the noise of crying kids are killing me.

It seems frustrating when these kids tend to just wail without stopping or having tantrums right then and there. But then again, each time I encounter such, I would try to recall how I should treat them in a way that I wanted to be treated back when I was their age. :)

Picture of a baby crying -  A picture I found of a baby crying.
Yes I can get frustrated. I have a young son soon to be five and he can get upset and cry like the rest of them. It can get bothersome sometimes and you have to exert a lot of patience with children. I have tolerance and I try to comfort my son when he is upset. It isn't always easy though.

Yup when kids cry too much for no proper reason it gets a little irritating to hear them. There is a school behind my building where nursery children join in. So whenever its the new academic year and parents drop them over there and leave them for the first time they keep crying and crying. And mind you so many of them Lolzzz... I tell my mom sometimes how much these children cry. She tells me when you were this small like a kid it was the same scenario and starts smiling at me Hehehe...
