It builds resentment. Kids are also humans with their own wants, goals, and dreams. Not yours.
My comment was meant to be somewhat sarcastic.
I was referring to making him do crap he doesn't want to do as in chores and whatnot. Typical teenager stuff.
I appreciate that he is his own person but still strongly encourage him to try different things to see what sticks. In no way do I push him to follow my wants goals, or dreams. Parents who do that bug me too.
Indeed. It's important to teach kids that in this life they're heading into they're going to have to do some things they don't really want to do in exchange for the resources they'll need to do the stuff they do want to do.
At least until AI and automation is fully deployed to every aspect of the economy and we've got UBI to rely on. Then we can all choose to do only things that we want to do. But that may take a little while yet.
There will be that transitory period with AI where we have things we don't want to do to survive with very little access to the things we want to do.
Yeah, probably. My position is that we should rush through that transitory period as fast as we can, because it sucks to be in it but there's a big prize once we get past it.
No, kids are a never ending source of labour. They owe me for choosing to bring them into this world and they can pay it back over the next 18 years by being a slave to my whims.
You want your own hopes and dreams? Stop being lazy and birth yourself.
What a deranged point of view.
Are you all such fucking idiots that you cannot see it is literally impossible for someone to give birth to themselves and this is all a play on those “bootstraps” nongs?
yes
