Also children are usually super loud and obnoxious which usually makes me tense and really annoyed.

you only notice the loud and obnoxious ones because, well, they are the loud and obnoxious ones. Many children are not always like that.
I understand your issues with your mother. I was the "mistake" and was reminded of that for years. the youngest of 4 children I grew up being the burden. I can relate but at the same time, with my 3 kids I can do what I can to be what my parents were not. It doesnt' reflect on my perspective of them but that I want to make sure they know that they are wanted and appreciated growing up
being a single dad, the entire responsibility of this is on my shoulders so I kind of am a child advocate for these reasons... not anti parent child advocate but just feel strongly about them
