You are right, but it shouldn't be...
My wife and I raised six children...all adults now...five married and eight grandchildren...
When I said my marriage vows before God and man, I meant it..."till death do us part" except for adultery or abuse
Our children was taught at a very early age "they were not the center of the universe"... their needs and wants take a secondary role to the greater good of the family...
Mom and Dad were there to raise them into decent, loving, caring human beings...putting their every whim and need above all other things including each other certainly would not achieve that goal...
We have lost an entire generation of children to lead selfish, demanding lives to stupid inane parenting skills taught be idiots I would not allow to watch my dog let alone take their moronic advice...
Absolutely correct. A man and women become one flesh in marriage until death parts them. Children are expected to grow up and cleave to someone else.
Our children was taught at a very early age “they were not the center of the universe”... their needs and wants take a secondary role to the greater good of the family...

Very wise. I hope your children realize how fortunate they are.
See my post above, we think the same. And something tells me that your kids adore their parents too.
Popman,
Kudos to you and your wife. Our son will turn 20 next month and when he left for college a couple years ago hubby and I eased into being empty nesters naturally. We look forward to growing old together. Our son and his older sister knew they were loved and cherished, but were not the center of our universe. Both are fine young adults.
