Are parents murderers of love and free spirit?

This is an age old question.
Television, film and literature have stated that this is all true. That in fact, parents are murderers of free spirit, creativity and love.

But the question is not so much are they but rather why are they? Now, I am sure people will say, life experiences. Because at some point in there respectable lives they walked down the same beaten path we are venturing through and they took a right instead of a left. They know what happens when you take a right and would rather have you be safe and sound going in the other direction.

Fair.

But stupid. I for one absolutely loathe the term "we just want what is best for you," I loathe it. 1. how do you know what is beat for me? 2. Who made you God and the decider for what is best and the ever popular 3. I'd like to make my own mistakes.

I agree that some decisions should not be made and if your child is doing something undeniably stupid, like smoking crack, it is time for an intervention. BUT if your child is doing something like aspiring to be an artist, don't crush there dreams. Who are you to do so? Parents fear for there children and we all know that if you fear you cannot live. Life is full of uncertainties and that scares parents, but you cannot lock up your kid.

These are all the reasons why I never want to have any kids. Who am I to decide the fate of another being? I should not have that right.
