We are told that we are selfish.

Motherhood is selfless.

Now that is the biggest lie.

Because the way we are doing it right now is completely self-absorbed.

We don't see how we are using our children to be all that we could never be.

And the best versions of the best person that we could never even be.

And how when that child is not, how we get so upset, how we get so disgruntled,

how we project on to them, right?

And that's what conscious parenting teaches is, how are you using your child to complete yourself?

How are you not seeing that this child is completely their own ultimate sovereign authority?

And they have really no obligation to you.

They have no obligation to you.

And parents will go, but I raise them and I go, yeah, you raise them.

You did it.

Now if they do respect you, it should come not out of obligation.

It should come out of a natural bonding and connection.
