    I kinda feel like that’s the entirety of good parenting. Some things have higher or lower priorities, but ideally, I want my children to be more competent than me in everything I know how to do and more.

      I see that as a recipe for failure. Expectations are fine but when you expect for from someone else than you do yourself. Well that hypocrisy and will lead to either hate or neroticism. Every parent should just want their kids to be happy.
