I find very young children annoying mostly because I can't do anything to shape them. I'm fine with very young children in my care, either through babysitting or having them in my classroom. However, if I have no authority, then it's incredibly annoying to watch other people either not discipline a child who needs it or manhandle a child who isn't doing anything wrong. It's annoying to watch a child with brains having them smooshed by the adults around that child. But I'm fine with kids when I have power. But yes, very young children can be annoying. Adults can also be annoying. People can be annoying.
Plus, very little is more annoying than watching little kids be awful to other little kids when you have no power to stop it.
Everyone who has children, find young children annoying; sometimes (and a joy ; sometimes). the claim is about people who find young children annoying all the time.

A tad late to the party, but then you should have said "all the time" in the claim.
