As a person who has parents that even after eighteen years can't seem to understand why I'm not exactly like them, I understand what this is trying to say. Children aren't just blank slates that you can put whatever traits you want onto them, they're their own unique person that grows and develops in response to the world around them. They will have both perks and flaws and it's likely you won't like all that they have to offer, but sometimes you just gotta learn to deal.
