I'm so happy to see the majority of responses here being in support of this argument. Parent's get upset when you point this out, because admitting to yourself that you damaged your child is the most painful thing in the world. To those parents; it doesn't make you a bad person; the sooner you take it on the chin, the sooner you can do the (really hard work) of healing your child.
