It's Not My Fault?

This May Be A Little Too Late To Make Any Mention Of This, But I Think I'll Just Say It Anyway, Coz I'd Personally Think It's Better Than Never.

So Yeah. First Off. To All Aspiring Parents. NEVER ROB YOUR CHILD OF THEIR FREE WILL! Who Am I To Say This Huh? Well, Let's Just Say That I Was A Child Who Was Robbed Of My Free Will And Am Now Suffering For It. What Was Robbed And What Did I Lose In Return? There's A Whole Load Of Equations That I'd Come Up With. And Believe Me They Are True.

Imprisoning Your Child At Home a.k.a. Not Taking Them Out Often Enough Or Letting Them Try New Things
=
Limits His Experience, Interests And Points Of View. Literally A Toad In A Well.

Not Allowing Them The Chance To Go To Friends' Places To Play (When They're Young) Or To Just Talk Crap (As Teenagers)
=
Limits Their Interpersonal Skills a.k.a You'd Give Them A Talking Complex.

Secondly, Never Give Them A Nice Screwing When They Come To You To Talk About Personal Stuff. Especially If They're The Only Living Child. And If The Child Had An Elder Sibling That Passed Away Before The Birth Of The Current One, DON'T IMPOSE VALUES! ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT THE PREVIOUS CHILD HAD OR THAT YOU EXPECTED YOUR PREVIOUS CHILD TO HAVE!

Thirdly, Keep Promises You Made. The Worst Possible Thing That Can Happen To A Child Is To Lose Trust In The Parents.Here's A Scenario Based On A True Story To Illustrate Numbers 2 And 3:

Suppose Your Child Isn't Exceptionally Talented Academically. He Happens To Want, Say, A LEGO Set That's Relatively Expensive (Let's Give It A Relative Figure Of Roughly RM200), And In Response The Father Says "Why Should I Buy It For You? You're Not Doing As Well As You're Supposed To Do In Your Studies. So How Do You Deserve That?" The Child Begs The Father And Promises He'd Do Better In The Coming Exam If He Gets It. The Father Relents, Telling The Child "If You Can Get Make It To The Top 5, I'll Buy It For You." So The Child Works Hard In His Studies And Gets First Place Not Only In Class, But The Whole Grade, Which Is Way Beyond The Initial Expectation. In Anticipation The Child Pesters The Father Again Over The Made Promise And As A Result, The Father Buys A LEGO Set Worth RM20 And Tells The Child "Economy Not Doing Well."

First Of All, The Only Thing A Child Is Going To Know About Economy Is The Size Of His Reward, Comparing Between What Was Promised To Him And What He Actually Got. Second, He's Not ever Gonna Believe Whatever His Father Says Anymore. Third, In Losing Trust, He's Not Gonna talk With Him Whenever He Doesn't Need To, Which Will Make Things Worse.

So In Conclusion, You'd Only Wanna Exercise Extreme Control Up Until They Finish Primary School. Drag It On To Secondary And, Well... The Child Will End Up A Dysfunctional Brat Like Me Who Might Seem Promising Behind The Monitor Screen But When You Meet The Person IN Person, You Get Disappointed, So He Ends Up Not Making That Many Friends Because Of His Warped Personality And Terrible Social Skills And That The Few Friends That He Actually Makes Might End Up Hurting Him Badly Because They Can't Take The Fact That They've Been Calling Such A Degenerate A Friend And So They Decide To End It. Not Forgetting The Fact That Since They've Rarely Been Given The Chance To Interact With Others They Don't Often Find People That Make A Great Impact In Their Life And When They Decide There Are Such People, They Accidentally Scared The Crap Out Of Whoever Their Gratitude Was Intended Towards Because It's So Rare That They Do Stuff Like That, When They Suddenly Do Others Think That They Have Other Sinister Ulterior Motives Or Something. So Yeah.

Now's The The Time, More Than Ever, I'd Wish Someone Would Give Me 1o "It's Not Your Fault"s And Actually Make My Tears Flow. It's So Painful To Not Be Able To Cry When You're Feeling So Badly Depressed.

So Yeah, Adieu To Y'all. Parents, Remember Not To Screw Up Your Child's Life. You Can't Imagine The Suffering You'll Be Putting Them Through.
