Many parents keep saying kids should be grateful to their parents 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 beings than about being praised for what is their 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 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 they should be their slaves. 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.
