I despise little kids... And they kind of despise me too.

It is really weird to explain, but kids get uncomfortable in my presence... they usually cry when they see or hit me in the legs without any kind of provocation. I really try to be nice to them, but I just get really frustrated by the fact that they just behave like savages when I am around.

I don't really like pre-teenagers either. In fact, I don't even like teenagers. I just see them now, being so spoiled and irrespectful... I just want to take my eyes out when I see that.

However... the weird thing is that I truly want to be a dad. When I think about the future, I always picture myself with a kid or two. I have the weird feeling that I will in fact love my kids and that I will be a great father... but so far, I don't think any person would ever say that I am parent-material.

So, is this normal?

    You will make a great father one day. Just keep patient with them, play with them, and stand your ground. You know children know when people don't like them because they are children.

    It seems you dislike the behavior of some children instead of hating children because they're children. Perhaps you becoming a dad would be an excellent thing because you won't tolerate such behavior from your kids.

    I am in the same boat as you at the moment.

    I take it as meaning you would have a different way of parenting. Once you have your own children and an idea of the difficulties of raising children you probably might see other children a little more tolerable. That's my hope anyway, but it hasn't been compelling enough for me to pull the trigger and have them.
