I did my best to ensure that my children were equipped with critical thinking skills. That they had the tools needed to make informed decisions in life, and that they understood that for every action they undertook (deliberate or otherwise) there would be a more or less equal reaction.

I knew, as most parents do, that my children would grow up and begin lives of their own and that my job as a parent was to give them a solid foundation of love and values and mores from which they could flourish as an individual... I knew then as I know now, that I did not OWN my children, but rather I was entrusted with their care and keeping.

And I am proud of the young men they have become, regardless our occasional juxtaposed and varying views.

And your question is fallacious, a straw man, hence the "dare".
Surely you can do better.
