I think a parent's responsibility to their children is to love them, provide essentials for living, and lastly provide them with a map for living that will help them be independent and responsible adults that can pass good gifts of knowledge and experience on to their children. A parent's role is not to give children all they want, because a child doesn't always understand what is best.
A parent, however, is not perfect in understanding and can also learn from their children. Therefore, we must all be humble and prepared to learn more.
It is also my opinion that parents are not defined as the ones who provided the sperm or egg for conception of a child. Parents dedicate themselves to the welfare of the child and love them throughout their life. Being a parent is an ongoing act of love, therefore, and not an accident of conception.
