The moral imperative of every parent is to cultivate the next generation they have brought forth. To raise kids without feelings of entitlement.
Parents who never admit they're wrong, raise adults unable to take responsibility.
Parents who smother their children, raise adults with no autonomy.
Parents who don't challenge their children, raise adults with no confidence or determination.
Parents who never apologize, raise adults who think it's always someone else's fault.
Parents who rely too much on punishment, raise adults that hide their mistakes.
Parents who try to dictate their children's interests, raise adults with no sense of identity.
Parents who do not show interest in their child's own values & concerns, raise adults that crave validation.
Parents who belittle their children, raise adults with no self-esteem.
Parents who can't say no, raise adults with no patience or respect for boundaries.
Parents who don't take care of themselves, raise adults that disregard their own well being.
Parents who set bad examples, are raising adults that will act the same.
