Give me a list of ways you can show someone hates kids without them saying “I hate kids.” My oc is grown as hell beefing with a 8 year old.

If they have other traits that match, it'll seem really natural. So maybe make them be introverted, hate loud noises, hate their personal space being invaded, all the things kids do that annoy people. make them especially sensitive to those things? if it's an 8 year old, maybe make the character really insecure and hotheaded, so they're more likely to engage with a kid who's just pushing their buttons

Not wanting the kid to touch OC, getting irritated at the kid, extra sarcasm that the kid may not get, highlighting naivety, flinging 8 year old insults, disdainful faces behind the kid’s back

this is maybe god awful advice, but disney channel & nickelodeon shows used to rely heavily on an irrational feud between an adult & child, & it worked out pretty well for them, maybe try to mimic their approaches?

Depends on what kind of kid-hating we’re talking here. Garden variety “I can’t stand children” or “the gremlins….,,,,they disgust me,,., they offend my very existence” or “you are a disgusting bug and I am merely entertaining you before I kill you”

Hating kids is not a sustainable major personality trait ngl. Apathy or distain towards the thought of having kids and refusing to be responsible for another’s kid are grounded aspects of a character. If a kid does something in their vicinity that’s annoying maybe they will just shoot them a dirty look.

If it’s the first, than ignoring the kid when they annoy your character works, excessive scolding, use of threats or generally scaring the kid (“behave or I’ll leave you back where I found you!”), not trying to take care of the kids emotional needs (neglecting the kid, not engaging with them, not checking in when the kid’s upset), making plans without thinking about where the kid’s gonna go

2nd one is more visible disgust, like recoiling when the kid’s around, excessive cleaning up after the kid, still ignoring them for the most part, forcing the kid to stay in one spot to minimize interaction, just less anger and more “eughh what am I interacting with”

And depending on your character’s personality all of this can b modified. Are they combative? Then they’ll stoop to the kid’s level and taunt the kid, start arguments, make faces, hurl insults. Are they aloof? They’ll just leave the kid alone and avoid them as much as possible, which will emotionally destroy the kid
