Is it really improper to dislike your adult children? What about your minor children?
I wrestle with this question often.
Society usually says "yes", yes indeed that is improper behavior.
This is the same society that has a divorce rate over 60%, believes in throw away everything from razors and cars to people and relationships.
My position is this: if the parenting style of mom clashes severely with yours and if you as the father have had no control over how they were raised, little influence in what they did day to day growing up, chances are you won't be thrilled in how your kids turn out.
At that point I guess I have to decide if I like them as people and go on from there.
It is real easy to disassociate from people that one dislikes, You get to pick your friends, and as far as I'm concerned, you get to pick your family as well.
