children do not get to choose who their parents are, yet parents have control over their child’s entire life

one of the many reasons i’m an antinatalist is because you don’t get to choose who your parents will be when you’re born. it’s already unfair enough that you’ve been brought into existence without your consent, so it’s even more unfair for your life to also be controlled by people who you didn’t choose in addition to that. i’ve never understood how parents expect and/or force their children to be just like them; to have the same beliefs, values, interests, etc. parents directly and indirectly dictate major factors in their childrens’ lives, and therefore the trajectory of their lives. your parents are completely random individuals that happen to have control over most aspects of your life. this dynamic is inherently highly imbalanced and unethical. it makes no sense to me how people can justify having a child and therefore having this level of control over another human being’s life.
