[split] Ethics - parental responsibility re: children

[Ahriman]

What's the value of "growing up"? Do you even know what you're talking about? So what if I'm a lazy brat? That doesn't mean I'm wrong about anything I'm saying. I deserve to get anything I want anyway.

Like, even if I am narcissistic, I didn't make myself that way, so I'm not responsible for how I am.

You're wrong about everything you say because you haven't grown up.  You're still at a developmental stage where you only think in terms of your needs, your wants and don't consider anybody else.

Oh, and me knowing what I'm talking about, I've forty years of living behind me, a good ten years of it living on little more than fresh air. I have some experience of hardness, self inflicted and environmental.  Throwing a hissy fit because my parents want me to help out around the house wouldn't even cross my mind.

I'm right about everything I say. Why should I consider what other people want or need? If my mom's kitchen sink is full of dirty dishes, she can clean them hsrself, she better not ask me to clean them, I don't tell people to clean my dishes.
