“The truly dangerous part of ‘raising a daughter well’ isn’t making the girl’s life better.
Instead, some parents turn ‘raising well’ into
planning her life for her, making decisions for her, taking on the risks for her—then requiring her to live according to their plan.
It looks like they’re giving her the best conditions.
But in reality, they may be taking away what matters most to her—her ability to independently choose her own life.
In the world, there are very few truly unconditional, unlimited one-way sacrifices.
The more resources parents provide, the stronger the control that usually comes with it. That makes it easier for a child to mistake being arranged for being loved.
That’s why there are so many little girls with conflicted brains in society, and so many girls who, after getting married, end up making bottomless contributions to their birth families—leading to unhappy marriages.
A parent’s real love for a child is to give her freedom, letting her have the chance to experience a full life. No matter whether it’s sweet, sour, bitter, or tough—it's her own life.
