Whatever is unresolved within us will manifest in our parenting skills.
Unfortunately, our society has an abundant supply of adult children, who then create a hyper protective ring around their own children because they are still incapable of embracing their own independence.
Babies making babies, as Sly Stone would say.
I love your interpretation. We do tend to fulfill our own unfulfilled needs or complexes through our children and babies making babies is quite a vicious cycle!
Thank you for the thoughtful comment, @colinhoward. : )
