Look at it from the perspective of the parents. My kid is my kid because I decided to have it and it's got 50% of my DNA. I decided to not have my kid in my Somalia. Just as my parents decided not to have me in Somalia.
And all around me I see how so many parents making terrible life choices.
I'm teaching my kid to answer "blame your parents".
