I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

I know fathers that abandon their children because they are cowards and I heard of mothers who kill their own babies just to be with their lovers. Therefore, 'fathers are daughter's first love' or 'mothers are true heros' are just overrated.

It is not heroic to get pregnant, nor is it heroic to fail to love or protect your child. You are right. Some parents are fucking terrible and they bring nothing but misery into the world.

There are, however, plenty of hard working and decent parents who do everything they possibly can to be a success. They deserve praise.

I agree that the generic, one size fits all platitudes are a bit sickly though, especially to those people whose parents scarred them irreparably.

@SW-User Thank you. When I hear generic platitudes about how wonderful mothers are, or comments like "Mothers are always right" I get angry and depressed and it also makes me feel lonely and left out of the human race.

This is a complex area which Freud had a lot to say about
