Nah, you're the selfish one bitch.
Parent "Help me shield the child I deliberately subjected to reality... FROM THE REALITY TO WHICH I SUBJECTED THEM... Up to and including THE VERY THOUGHT of that reality... Until I no longer have dominion over them..."
Hym "Umm... And you're going to do what for me exactly?"
Parent "Huh? No, we're just doing my thing. You just help me curate reality around my kid up to and including the abstract elements of reality I don't want them to know about OR the gross parts I don't like and then I just do whatever I feel like doing."
Hym "You're using the word 'Help' a lot and it doesn't sound like you're willing to do anything to get me to do that."
Parent "You can't force me to help you. I only help people I feel like helping under the auspices of my subjective notion of deservedness."
Hym "I'm not seeing a reason for me to do any of that."
Parent "You have to do it or your a bad person."
Hym "I don't give a fuck about being a bad person. What I give a fuck about is not being beholden to someone to whom my life does not matter. Which I refuse to be. So, try again."
Parent "Look, the greatest pleasure in life is having dominion over something that can't tell you no. So, I NEED to extend that abstract authority beyond my children so that my kids grow up in reality as I want it to be. Rather than how it actually is. And I can't do that if you have autonomy over your own mind and/or person. So I need you to agree to value my conceptualization of how reality SHOULD be... Potentially over your own... And then do that... In exchange for nothing... Or I'm going to find a way to force you... Socially or otherwise..."
Hym "That sounds like 'Live in service of my kids in exchange for nothing or I'll kill you.' That sounds like a threat."
Parent "I'm a good person."
Hym "And what stops me from removing the impetus for you to have authority over my behavior? Manually? What stops me from refusing to participate?"
Parent "I'll kill you."
Hym "So... Help you protect your kids. For free. Or you'll kill me?"
Parent "Yes."
Hym "No... No. You can go fuck your kids. Right in the face. You're actually statistically more likely to fuck your kids than I am. Fuck yourself. Fuck theirself."
Parent "God, you're selfish! You should want to ameliorate the consequences of my choices and/or accidents!"

A classic "selfish sympathy" example, from an old "Peanuts" comic:
Schroeder, in exasperation at Lucy's pushy "over-attentiveness": Do you know what Beethoven never had?!
Lucy: What?
Schroeder, rantingly waving his arms above his head: Beethoven never had girls hanging on to his piano and bugging him about giving them presents!
Lucy, mildly shocked: He DIDN'T?! (pauses to ponder this fact) Poor Beethoven!
