also you should love them for it, can't see what could go wrong with this, surely it won't affect people in the long term

EDIT

this sort of opened a can of worms so i'm gonna read some theory and so should you

    They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
    They may not mean to, but they do.
    They fill you with the faults they had
    And add some extra, just for you.

    But they were fucked up in their turn
    By fools in old-style hats and coats
    Who half the time were soppy-stern
    And half at one another’s throats.

    Man hands on misery to man.
    It deepens like a coastal shelf.
    Get out as early as you can,
    And don’t have any kids yourself.

    -Philip Larkin

      I think we are not brutally honest about parenting and a lot of people go into being a parent as if they were getting a pet instead of a whole human being whose life is not yours to own.
