    I think it's more that children are considered property. The rest still works out

      Oh yeah for sure, check out the book Childism on that score. Fucking brutal read.

      Parents see their kids as that proverbial lump of clay that they can/should master and shape. Everyone else is misformed and can be disregarded. But I think the motivation has to do with success/outcomes. Parents own neurosis also come into play.

          Lol I hear you on that. The Utah Philips song Kids Liberation is probably just as good and not a downer tbh.
