I know exactly what you mean, but I did have an uncomfortable feeling when I read that: Would I not sacrifice my son to save the world?
Guess that doesn't really bear on the question at hand.... But I'm back to throwing poor little Asa under the train! >:-\

It was uncomfortable for me to type it! It's one of those things that I know about myself that I might wish were otherwise but it's not.
As an aside, when my son was in his mid-teens I found myself going fully Cosby on him and saying "I brought you into this world, I'll take you out, make another one look just like you and in 15 years no one will know the difference". 
Cheers

"People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
