Things I can't stand about children:
They grow out of their incredible cuteness.

My goodness, my sister's kids are definitely not spoiled by their grandparents. The rules are rightfully stricter at granny's house. They know they have to be doing something productive at all times, like learning to play piano or doing puzzles or playing educational computer games. They like their time with her, and really miss it now that she's unable to watch them all the time.
Something else I can't stand about kids - They have no idea how loud they are. If you inform them that they need to use inside voices, they're good for a few minutes but need to be reminded again before too long. My nephew (age 5) has finally picked up on the fact that he needs to speak quieter around me, but dangit I hated that phase.
