Not a big fan of dictators, personally.

Why not? In a family is a father not the dictator. Or would you rather have families ruled by democracy.

I genuinely want to know, because the "hatred of dictators" is one thing many people have been programmed with, myself included.

A father's role is to cultivate an independent individual out of his children. Making and enforcing all the children's decisions for them won't cultivate that kind of agency. Those children won't go on to be free if they don't learn self-ownership. It's not an either-or on the dictator vs democracy when it comes to a family or society.

Neither pure-democracy nor dictatorships cultivate individual liberty, so I oppose them both.

Dictator does not immediately mean totalitarian, you made that assumption yourself. It simply means full control, the one who dictates. That does not mean that they will dictate everything, only what they see as necessary.

The way I see it is that individual rulers are good for drastic change, when change is needed. And democracies and other bureaucracies are good at preventing change, when change is not needed.

The important question is "Do we need change now?" and change is not always good, so in order to get good change you must have good people in power.
