i heard a great phrase that goes "i continue to cut but it's still too short"
i feel it's an abstract but highly accurate metaphor for how many raise their children. they're trying to be even more strict to make the child behave well, but that inflicts even more damage on the child and the child misbehaves even more.
That’s a pretty good metaphor
