It really seemed like the grandparent commentator was chiding the mention that relationships aren't only held together by blood, and that children don't have a choice in who birthed them nor who raised them through childhood.
In many cases, perhaps more than most people are comfortable with, children are raised by malicious parents.
- Aeolun 2y agoI don’t think children are raised by malicious parents (at least, in the far majority of cases). They’re just often raised by people that didn’t know what they were in for, and have no idea how to live, much less how to parent. It’s a miracle most kids turn out ok despite that, but I’m fairly certain it’s evolved to be that way.
- KittenInABox 2y agoIn the far majority of cases, people are behaving commonly, including common parent behavior. However, significant amounts of minorities exist in this state. Just because a demographic is a minority doesn't mean its considerate to behave as if the demographic doesn't exist at all. Some people are genuinely having children for completely malicious reasons, like using a child as a tool to trap a domestic abuse victim, for which no gratitude is warranted or reasonable. And I daresay telling those children "you are who you are because of them" is horrifying and cruel.
