There's this bizarre idea that people really have, my child can become anything I want if I just parent them good enough, and have these lofty ideas of how that would work, and then it doesn't. Different people are naturally prone to different things, and you can't just wrangle them into the desired shape and expect them to thrive the same way as the people who were allowed to do something that they're naturally prone for.

If you wanted your child do become a doctor or a lawyer, but they become a successful tattoo artist instead, and you lament your disappointment about how you failed as a parent, you're right but not for the reasons you thought. Children aren't extensions of their parents, and their goals and dreams that aren't the same as their parents' goals and dreams are not undesired, invasive weeds to be plucked out.

I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures).
