I love my own children but very much don't enjoy other people's children. I'm sure it's my deficiency but I'd probably murder someone in a community house.

Funny... All of my kid's friends are pretty wholesome, respectful, nice people. Always happy to have them visit to play. But many of their parents (30-40 years old) are pretty bad. Not nasty, but just... anti-social and aloof, totally absorbed in themselves and their phones. I couldn't imagine raising our kids together in some sort of shared commune.
I think/hope my feelings will change as my kids are a bit older. Right now they're both under 5 and other kids just seem like terrorists. I actually worry though that I'm teaching my kids to be too timid and should encourage them to stand up to the terrorists more.
You should. It doesn't get better.
