"I don't seek to kill kids and I don't have a problem with other people having them, just don't make me deal with them, or at least bring me booze to steady my nerves after you take the kid away."

LOL...THAT is strong dislike, because in my experience, hate is composed of a passionate a wish to see ( your word here ) destroyed.

If it's any comfort, when my kids come to visit - only one is left at home now, and she's seventeen - and all three of them are together, I enjoy their visit emmensely, but I STILL feel the need for a strong drink in order to relax after the chaos dies down when they go home.

I see more of a dividing line between rational and irrational hate. If the hatred remains rational you can reason between whether that thing should be destroyed or you should just stay clear. It's rational to wish liberalism destroyed so rational hatred can go as far as you say. It's clearly irrational to wish all children to die and nobody to ever have kids again, so one can hate them and not take it that far.

In full disclosure I have met a few kids that were so amazingly cool that if it were garaunteed that my kids would be like that I'd go home and start working on it right away. Though most of those kids don't like hanging out with their peers and prefer the company of adults, kind of like how I was as a kid, and there's a good chance they're gonna grow up and not have kids too.
