It can be an incredibly difficult and painful experience for children to grow up with parents who transfer their negativity and emotional baggage onto them. This can take many forms, including belittling, criticizing, or constantly reminding their children how lucky they are to have a roof over their head and food on the table.

Children who grow up in this kind of environment may feel constantly criticized and inadequate, leading to a sense of low self-esteem and worthlessness. They may also feel as though they owe their parents something for providing them with basic necessities, despite the fact that it was the parents’ choice to bring them into the world.

Parents who transfer their negative behavior onto their children are not only failing in their primary commitment to make their child socially desirable, but they are also failing in their responsibility to provide a safe and nurturing environment for their child to grow up in. Instead of building up their children’s self-esteem and confidence, they are tearing them down and making them feel unworthy of love and respect.

Children should not feel indebted to their parents for providing them with basic necessities, as this is a responsibility that parents voluntarily take on when they choose to bring a child into the world. Parents who transfer their negativity and emotional baggage onto their children are failing to provide a safe and nurturing environment that allows their child to grow and thrive, and may even be causing lasting emotional harm. It is important for parents to recognize their responsibility to raise their children in a positive and supportive environment, and to seek help if they are struggling with their own emotional issues.
