    Is there a fear of grandparents?

    Question #120075. Asked by George95. (Jan 24 11 4:55 PM)

    		From my understanding a person could have a phobia about anything (including nothing).

    I could not find a specific name for the fear of grandparents, but the fear of relatives is syngenesophobia.

    		There's also: Gerontophobia -- Fear of old people or of growing old.

    		And Aviphobia (invented from the Latin avi for grandparents, since I don't know the Greek) could be coined to cover it. It does not seem to be common enough to have been given its own name.

    A person has two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents and so on backwards through the generations.

Where does the logic break down? Are we all very inbred?
