One very wrong view of parenting is to expect your children to realize that they owe their lives to you. It’s not like that at all. If you have to have children so you can manipulate them and mould them into something you want them to be and not let them ever discover themselves‚ your children might regret some of your decisions and might even grow up to hate you.
