Children owe their parents; parents don't owe their children anything
To begin with, I want to show the meaninglessness and even delusional principle, which is very often followed in the Western world. (It is likely that the new modernist Protestantism was responsible for the emergence of this, and many others, forms of madness.)
You can often hear that parents are obliged to create conditions for the birth of a child, that they must equip housing, take care of a fund for the further education of the child. Also, parents must fulfill all the whims of the child, buy clothes for him, talk to him, participate in the child's social life, and so on.
Let us ask ourselves the question, has it always been so? Was that how children were treated in the old days? I think that you don't need to go far for examples, we can learn this, for example, from the novels of past years. Moreover, we can learn that the punishment with rods was present in the twentieth century in a number of states.
Since now we, people, exist, it is already possible to unambiguously answer the question of the positive influence of the previous upbringing on children. However, in civilized countries they still continue to insist on the responsibility of parents to indulge the whims of children.
To make it finally clear that nothing like this can be done - this is a distant past. In the distant past, they gave birth to many children and did not show such care about upbringing, which began to appear later, with the advent of mercantile tyrannical or despotic forms of government (Confucius, Plato, Mana talk a lot about upbringing). In the distant past, people survived - we, who live here and now, are living confirmation of this.
In general, the question of raising someone specific, as well as raising super people, is a pure kind of mysticism and magic. An absolutely absurd thing. And, what is especially sad, this nonsense is now enough.
Children just have to appear and grow, and they, children, themselves must learn everything. Pampering and indulging children is the upbringing of spoiled and capricious children.
In world religions such as Christianity (except heretics), Confucianism and Islam, reverence for parents is the cornerstone of teaching. Thus, the fifth commandment in the Bible says that parents should be honored; Confucius writes a lot about honoring parents as the most important thing in life.
