    Human children aren’t horses, and I know being a parent is difficult, and that you might fail. And even if you do fail it might not be your fault, but it is still your responsibility.

    You made the kid after all, you put them in the weakest state any human could ever be.

    Plenty of people try to convince themselves otherwise, but you didn’t give that kid a choice in wether they wanted to live

      I’m not comparing children to horses, it’s a proverb. You’ve created a really detailed narrative around a green text (meme) that I don’t really feel like playing along with.

      PS; I am not the mother of this green text, not sure why you’re framing it like that

        Really detailed narrative?

        The only detail necessary is that she has an adult NEET son.

        Sure, let’s expand on your proverb, and use it as a methaphor. The parents are responsible for the horse needing to drink in the first place. Even though they can’t make them drink, it is still their responsibility. When it doesn’t drink, that’s on them: they caused the situation leading to that failure

          Resenting your parents for you being alive is one of the more juvenile hurdles that people tend to get over at some point in their teens. I am a little curious as to what your reasoning is for being unable to move beyond the perceived injustice of incarnation.

          Your parents were born, just like you were. Is it your grandparents fault that they put that suffering on your parents who passed it on to you? What about their parents? And their parents? Which generation should have been sterilized to dodge your suffering?

          Depending on your beliefs, your culprit is either Adam or Homo-Erectus. Better still, let’s blame the fish that walked, or the amoeba in the tide pool.

          It’s time to get over it.

            That’s not how responsibility works, my mom’s choices aren’t my grandparents fault and my choices aren’t my mom’s
