I tolerate children reasonably well and for reasons I still do not understand, many of them demand my attention when I am present. It is everything to play and play-fight, although I admittedly am not supremely fond of children. It leaves me to wonder if those I do know that their children are not permitted to roughhouse or similar regularly. It is not as though they have wholly absentee fathers either or that I am often present. Perhaps it just comes with my demeanor as a patriarch.
