"It is for your own good." Sounds familiar?

An Australian woman has been sentenced to life imprisonment for starving her 7 year old autistic daughter to death. (see Aussie mom gets life in jail for starving daughter)

Parents always say whatever they do is for their children's own good but is what they do 'for their children's own good' always right?

Take my mom as an example. She is a secretary by training and had been an accounts assistant for a short period of time before she married my dad. Never in her life has she worked in a bank before yet she is always "teaching" me how to be a banker and she thinks she is doing me a favour by doing so. I think it will be better if she just mind home affairs and leave me alone.
