I think part of being a parent is trying to kill your kids.

Summary

This quote, though paradoxical, highlights the complexity of parenting. It suggests that in order for children to grow and develop into well-adjusted individuals, parents must sometimes challenge and push their limits. This can involve exposing them to difficult situations, setting rules and boundaries, and encouraging them to overcome obstacles. This "killing" metaphorically represents the hindrances that parents may intentionally impose on their children's comfort zones to spur personal growth. It underscores the idea that parenting requires striking a balance between protecting and guiding children while allowing them to learn and flourish through their own experiences.
