Not literally. Yet they fulfill some of our goals, or else raising them would just be a chore. It's not a loan, as we're talking of human beings, not goods.
As you know I have no kids but I agree totally, parents should teach independence to their children and let them find out what their best at and run with it!
I agree. We are guidelines for them. The better we are as role models the better foundation we lay for them. IT may not work but not laying it is a sure way to cause them a boatload of obstacles they do not need. Life is difficult enough.
I disagree with thee. So what right? Thank you for your reply EQ and Happy Friday.Having children to fulfill some of YOUR goals? Not a good reason . It is indeed a loan while we guide them and teach them and protect them. When they are adults and are able to fend for themselves we release them and have no ownership over them. Raising children is a privilege not a chore . Some people ought not become parents because they are very lousy at it and think it is an imposition.
