I think my problem is that my parents never made any.

Unless they put you up for adoption or sent you to live with relatives, the fact that you are still alive disproves this point.

Doing the legally mandated minimum isn't a sacrifice.
-
Ah yes. Just like my parents say. They put a roof over my head, therefore I should shut the fuck up about all the abuse and other neglect.
Please mom & dad, quote that verse to me again about how the bad child should be fucking killed.
-
Oh really? Only those 2 things and nothing else? You lack critical thinking, empathy, imagination, and much more in between.

My parents sacrificed the world economy, rule of law, and a breathable environment for me #blessed

Yeah my parents are boomers who pulled the ladder up behind them. And my dad....well he thinks the world should die with him. And gets pissed if he thinks you are getting ahead of him in life.

Sacrificing means giving up something valued for the sake of something else. Nothing is of value to me except my kids. In that sense, I don’t have to sacrifice anything.
-
Other things have value for me. Its just that nothing in my life is more valuable to me than my child.
-
I see. My interpretation might have been wrong. Things can be of different value, from low to high. What I was trying to say was, that it does not feel like a sacrifice to me, since I am not losing that much, and I gain a lot, by investing time and money into my kids.

While everyone else can argue about what level of sacrifice constitutes an actual sacrifice, I want to point something out:
The dad isn’t sacrificing anything in this image. He’s simply helping his son across lol.
"Dad why do you take pills?"
I have crippling neck pain.
"why?"
I'll tell you when you're older.
