Perhaps if more people realized that bringing children into the world was their own decision, they wouldn't expect their kids to be grateful and thankful for their mediocre parenting.
Everyone constantly complains about how tough life is, while popping out babies.

I was a kid when I peeped the scam of life.
"Be grateful",
fine..I will try, but if I had a choice, as much as I love everyone, I would choose to be unaware of my eventual doom and the doom of watching the people I love be taken away from me.
Knowing this, how can I then

Knowing this, how can I then
Bring a child into this place, and then proceed to make them feel like they should be grateful? Or that my needs should supercede theirs, because I brought them to the world, a world they never asked to be brought into.
The least I could do is make their time here as good as I

Can. And even if I don't have a lot, there are other ways to show a person love, and support. I can listen to them, learn who they are, correct them, and treat them like human beings with feelings and emotions. I didn't bring them here to be mini versions of myself.
I didn't bring them here to lie to them about how perfect I am so they can be versions of me that I never was.
I want them to love who they are, and be determined to do everything they possibly can, while learning how to be kind to themselves and others.
That is what is more

A lot of people have no business being parents. You are too selfish, too needy and too jealous.
Your children serve as avenues for you to finally experience enraptured attention.

Your children serve as avenues for you to finally experience enraptured attention.
You finally have a little person dependent on you and scared of you, so just like every other abusive relationship where the power dynamics are unbalanced, you abuse it.
You are in competition with your children, they must obey you, and stay in line so you can feel powerful.

Once they rebel as they will inevitably, once they begin to lose respect for you because of how ridiculous you have been as a parent, they become an enemy to you. You want as often as you can to punish them for making you lose the little power you enjoyed having.
You say harmful things, you belittle their ideas, you must always have the final say, you know best.
You never apologize, you gaslight them, you scoff at their hopes, you slut shame them, you tell them their dreams will never come true, and you justify hitting them.

So this gift you think you have given your children because you brought them into a crappy world, where more than likely they too like so many of us, will face trials, tribulations, depression, confusion, illnesses, sorrow and the many other fun parts of being here,
Really own that you got the gift, they are the gift.
You get to experience life again through another person, you get to feel the hope of a new life, the excitement of it. You get to relive what you wanted for yourself. Buy the things you always wanted for them.

And yes, they will thank you for it, for your love and support and they will do so even more abundantly when you quit victimizing yourself for a choice that you made.
Children know early that this world isn't easy either, and how crappy it is to have parents who can't shut up

About how much more they are doing for them than they deserve.
How grateful they are supposed to be.
If you were in a relationship with a person parenting you like how you parent your children, would you be happy? Would you want to live in that fearful state, afraid of telling

Truths, because the reaction would be blown out of proportion, and getting hit possibly for just making regular mistakes that come with getting older? Would you like to constantly be in a state of gratefulness, to pacify the angry person you are in the relationship with?
It's a shit show, and there are billions of fucked up people walking around as a result.
Doing your best is the best that you can do, and starting with the right mindset always helps.
You are here to help your offspring live their own lives. And you can both benefit from it.

They will have dreams that go against what you want. They may be people completely different than you expected. They may have desires you don't understand.
Again, you brought them here to help them live their own lives.
It started with your needs, and ends with their own.
