Meat is very expensive these days. I hope they wait until the children are plump enough, and they eat them when they have killed them. Meat is very expensive these days.

But he turned out fine in the end so it's just as well. During his teenage years I was often tempted to choke the life out of my youngest son,

Mothers and Fathers, and most have been white (although I don't think that's got much to do with it. The honour killing system is a different thing, and doesn't involve the suicide of the perpetrator). It seems to be caused by an inability to cope with the pressures of family life (difficult kids, money worries etc) or by the parents being divorced or about to divorce. I think family and marriages need more support, and our consumer culture needs to stop promoting unbridled narcissism. Val

Jealous of his children's power and afraid they were going to take over his rule, Uranus kills them (the Hecatonchires, the Cyclopes and the Titans) and throws them in the underworld. Then his worse fear is realised when his wife Gaia instigates their son Cronus to castrate him (putting an end to his sex life) and dethroned him (no doubt his second worse fear).

It is absolutely horrifying that a Father would punish his wife by taking his children"s lives, in such a painful and terrible way. May his God forgive him, I can"t.!!
