Many parents keep saying kids should be grateful to them because they nurture their kids, give them shelter, a bed, take care of their health, pay for their school, etc. This is true, but it's also true no one asks to be born, so parents have a moral obligation to do such things. I think good parents should be more worried about their kids than about being praised for what is their own duty. If someone thinks raising kids is a nuisance, then he or she shouldn't have kids at all. You should have kids if what you want is to love them, and not to be praised for raising them.
Some parents also keep repeating that old saying "while you live under my roof you have to follow my rules", implying they do their kids a favor and kids should be their slaves. Just to show power?Again, such parents forget their kids never asked to be born. If you want to be despotic and all you want is your kids worshiping you, then you'd better not have kids. And, after all, through childhood everybody needs care.
