Someone told me recently that every parent loves their kid.
I disagreed. Because I have seen parents just have their kids for their own ego sakes, and only notice their existence when it flatters themselves to.
Is it true that all parents love their kids?
My bio dad walked out, hated me, and left, when I was young.
Now, no direction from him, nothing just a big empty void left inside.
How can anyone say that EVERY parent whether father or mother, LOVES their kids?
Is not that a lie?

Sadly the answer to your question is no. I wish it were so that parents loved there kids... If that was the truth then there wouldn't be child abuse and as mention before kids sold into slavery. It breaks my heart that parents can be so cruel. But I do believe majority of parents love there kids.

I am a grandmother and I agree with you. Look at the couple down the States that tried to sell their 15 month old baby for $25.00. Look at the little babies found in dumpsters.
No, definitely not. Not all parents love their kids.
Why do you say he "hated you". Of course I am not making excuses for a father that walked out on his child, but what was the reason he walked out. I do not think that it was because he hated you. He could have been an irresponsible person, one that didn't want to be a father.
You see, I have different ideas of who a Father and Mother should be. I do not agree that just because you either give birth to a child, or get a girl pregnant, makes you a mother or father. What makes a loving mother and father is the care and love they give a child FOR THEIR WHOLE LIFE.
Many have been in your position, but many have also understood that it was nothing to do with them what choices the parent made. Do not make choices in your life based on this one incident in your childhood. Don't let HIS choices ruin your life. Be determined to be happy and have a good future. Many have gone through this and said to themselves "That is not going to stop me being happy and successful. I am unique and will make something of my life".
Peace and love,

Well, I don't think all parents love their kids. I think that this is a very touchy subject with people because they want to believe that of course parents do, and it is one of the 10 commandments. However, I was adopted at 2 into a family for reasons that suited my biological mother. I won't bore you with the details, but I don't feel love was involved, and it took years of therapy to get over it.
Your bio Dad did not hate you, however, and I'll tell you why. Been there/done that. He hated where he was. He did not hate you. I think all of us "kids" need to work out our anger and rejection issues, don't you?

I think that all parents love their children, but when they have them at a young age, there are conflicting emotions. After someone has children they must change. This can be very difficult for some people who have lived their lives the way they've wanted to for a long time. Putting someone first before themselves might be an alien concept and they may not be ready for it. I don't believe that your dad "hated" you. He just loved himself more.

I think it is, for instance I grew up in a family of 4 kids the first 2 were made to feel special the last 2 not so special, I'm one of the last 2. It's not a nice feeling not to feel loved. I have seen it everywhere I go, parents talking to their children like they are the cause of all their problems. Not right. They need to show love to all their children, I understand how you feel I've watched my son trying to deal with the same issues that you speak of, I'm sure he feels the same way.
Good luck!!!

Every parent, unfortunately do not love their children. Some parents don't care, that's when you get dead beat dads and moms, orphans, abusive parents... and the list goes on.
I'm a new mother of one, and I see and hear about things that parents do to their kids and it makes me sick to my stomach and hurts my heart for the kids. I could never hurt my daughter. I love my daughter, but her father... doesn't call, doesn't visit and is living his life somewhere else in the city.
You're theory is correct.

No because the kid might do bad things which causes the parents to hate the kids
so i'll say
82/100 parents like their kid

I totally agree that not all parents love their kids. A sad fact is that some people were not meant to be parents. My father divorced my mother when I was 2 and had no further contact with me. My mother hated him and took out her hatred on me. Several times, she told me she wished that I had never been born. We are now estranged.

I think everyone would love to believe that all parents love their kids, but this is a HUGE generalization.
I am an adoptive mom. While I love my kids to no end...their birth mother seems not to have, or they wouldn't be with us.
I would like to think that even the ones who neglect or abuse their kids love their kids, but just aren't educated on how to show good affection vs. bad affection from perhaps the way they grew up.

Mostly every parent loves their kid. Usually the parents who walk out and leave their children don't care enough about their kids, that they just don't love them. Sorry about your dad walking out. That's sad. No offense by the way.
