It's possible he felt the same way you do. Like you said, you'd take a bullet for your mum, sister etc. but you just can't bare to be around them for long. You want to be independant etc. etc. Then you said the above about your dad.
I genuinely hope you saw the link.
Not that it matters either way, you've noticed it BEFORE you've had kids, probably as a result of what you consider to be your Father's mistakes.
To move away from seriousness, it does sound like you just can't stand the competition for attention.
Have kids anyway, if you get bored of them, then up until the age of about 3 [when their legs get less podgy] they taste just like chicken.
