I am lenient, with animals, children, and employees, but see alot of power plays, with no constructive purpose in mind, or which tend to be counterproductive.

I don't believe it's appropriate, to raise children as scapegoats, or willingly set people up to fail, by way of social engineering and logical fallacies.
There is also a saying against living vicariously, through your kid, but, at least, a successor could be your emissary and source of unmitigated pride.
I feel that sabotaging something with your face and your name is a form of self harm and, if I made something, or grew it, to share with other people, would want them to see the best of my best.
