They haven't been trained in how to parent. Nor were they given support as a child and never learned by example. Their own low self esteem doesn't allow them to rejoice in their childrens' success. Very sad.

Because, thier parents did it to them, or else they dont want to be like their parents were, and do everything to over compensate, for their parents mistakes through their own children, you know... I'm "Guilty" of that one!!! I was a badly abused child, so I go over-board, in such a way, my kids practically walk all over me, and do as they "Please" so much so, that I still wait on their every need, and their teenager's now!! And that's not a "Good thing" at all, especially since I'm getting too old, and tired of them expecting everything from me, all the time, and its even harder since I'm a "Full-Time" student now, too!! So, I've been getting on them to help me more, around the house, if they want me to come home from school, in a "Good Mood" by not seeing their clutter everywhere, you know..... So, I think its the way they were raised, is why parents tend to "Sabotage" their children!!!

Sabatage , in what way.
Say you are 14 and a 22 year old asks you out, you are all excited, your parents say NO WAY!
Say You are 13 and decide you would like to go skydiving , with only one lesson, Parents say NO
Sometimes what seems like Parents sabatage is really them looking out for what is best fro you.

Because we know all the terrible and horrible things that can and do happen even though our children keep insisting to themselves, that will NEVER happen to ME; because we've been around a lot longer and have developed the experience, wisdom, and maturity to recognize the possible negative consequences of the decisions of those who don't have the wisdom and experience of years; because we treasure our children above and beyond anything on the face of this earth, and are terrified of anything bad happening to our children, and we don't want to see them make horrible mistakes based upon their lack of experience, wisdom, and maturity, and we don't want to see you get hurt physically, mentally, or emotionally.

Who would do that? Parents, good ones anyway, do all they can to encourage their children not sabotage them. If you feel your parents are doing that then maybe you need to look at what it is you want to do and why they feel the way they do. Maybe it isn't to sabotage you but to stop you from making a mistake.

i think it's because the parents could care less about what their kids are doing.parents today are basically interested in just getting by and the kids learn that to.so therefore thay are not taught to succeed.

mostly they dealt with the depression or hippie times
so no clue about what a world some real potential even is
they limit kids from their own fears and bad experiences mostly

Certainly not intentional: parenting has become difficult these days!

Because they are instilling their own values and if they have not lived the lives they wanted to they can't help but translate those emotions to their kids. "No I can. I'll fail"
