There are many confusions of love. Some say they “love” something based on it giving them pleasure or satisfaction, such as a certain kind of food or drink.

The strange paradox of parenthood is every child is innocent of responsibility and has a right to care from his or her parents. Any failure in parenting is the fault of the parents and harms the child. It seems, therefore, that children have a right to perfect parents, but such parents don’t exist. And in some sense rightly do children view this as unjust and the failures of their parents as injustices against them. So there is a resentment of children against their parents.
Children resent their parent’s failures. But because parents are human beings with faults of their own they will at times fail in parenting in one way or another. Children do not grate their parents ” on a curve” or with understanding and mercy, until they themselves are in the same situation.
