Christiano Ronaldo for example, even though his fam no money, his mother would support him and put his dreams before hers. I know this isn't the formula that always happens, but you gotta think are that many parents willing to sacrifice their own ambitions to help their kids achieve their dreams. Athletes this must happen I think, taking kids to games every weekend etc

Vast majority of people use their kids as extensions of themselves and try to make their kids fulfill the parent’s dreams not their own.

Most people are really selfish including as to their kids. Selflessness is an extremely rare quality.

If the parent/s feels they have lost in life(lost there potential/Shot at life)they want to help and in turn live vicariously through their kid/s.
