Children have no obligation to respect- or even like- their parents in the least bit.

Woah woah woah buddy roll slow down here let’s break this down in steps.

Paragraph two you say “I feel I should be more grateful to other people than my parents.” Not what I said. I said if anyone’s parents can’t be decent people, they are owed no less than those other people. That’s it. No implication of hatred of parents in general, just “if you’re a bad person, people don’t need to like you more than strangers.”

Paragraph two you also say that I mention no wrongdoing by the parents so they must be average people la dee da. Untrue. I specify in the most literal of terms that my post is in reference to bad parents and bad people. Additionally: not my parents. I don’t have to give my life story to be able to say that I think children have the right to not like someone.

Final paragraph: just, wow. I don’t know what to say here.
