A father has sparked a heated debate online after admitting his 'disdain' for children has extended to his own family members - and dozens of people are urging him to 'seek therapy.'. The father-of-two, from the US, revealed he 'severely dislikes' babies, toddlers and young children under the age of five - noting his own offspring as being 'an exception to the rule.'.
Taking to Reddit on December 9, the man, known anonymously as u/Ill_Shelter5785, went into detail about his situation on the subreddit, 'AITA' - in a post which has since been taken down. In it, he shared that his wife began challenging his aversion to children following his recent choice to steer clear of his nieces and nephews, leading to heated arguments between the pair.
He explained: 'I do not want to be around, hold or watch my nieces and nephews. I will point out that I have two of my own children.'. The father noted that despite his own little ones being 'a ton' of joy and happiness to his life, he recalls having had a 'disdain' for and 'strong negative feelings' toward younger children since the age of four.
He added: 'I find nothing about them appealing and if I could spend my entire life without being in the same room as a young child, I would live a very happy life.'. The man shared that despite his wife of twenty years being aware of his aversion to kids, she has since grown to oppose his behaviour following the births of nieces and nephews on either side of the family.
