Even in the best of relationships I know a lot of parents who wouldn't want to burden their children with that expectation.

It is interesting how parents treat children differently. I have a niece with two children, a boy and a girl. The boy was the golden child, bullied his sister terribly and has grown up to be a real snot of a person. The daughter was always denigrated for no real reason and made to feel inferior. She is doing better now that she is away in college but she still carries a lot of baggage from her childhood. What parents sometimes do to their children can be headshaking.
