"Who leaves a kid with someone like me? No way in hell!"
— Otto Heckel, Monster
"There's so much I can do if my son didn't exist. So much I could have done if I never had him. I could have obtained qualifications and licenses, taken lessons, worked more. Instead, my entire life is just a platform for my son's life. I think about it every night before I go to sleep. If I woke up in the morning and my son was dead, how splendid would that be? But every time I wake up and see him, I sigh. Why are you still alive? Why do you have a normal life? I yearn for the day he stops being healthy and stops growing and just disappears. That's all I want. Why can't you just do something that simple for me? I want him to die so badly it makes me cry. And the fact that he has such a worthless face just makes me even more sad. It makes me think I'm the one who's wrong. I shouldn't have had you."

"You don't have to do a single thing, and you're provided with food, clothes, a home... I've had no time to think on such ridiculous thoughts. Would Dad have been happy with them? I don't care. He died upholding some lofty sense of righteousness, leaving all his responsibilities on us. Isn't it about time you grew up and acknowledged our situation!? Right now, you're useless to me. All you do is eat away at my life!"
— Sae Niijima to her sister Makoto, Persona 5
"I remember looking at you. The littlest babe, helpless and all mine. Those big, big eyes just full of tears. Pulling at me. Pulling away my name, my money, my time. Pulling away any hope of my life better for myself. This pink, naked, squirming little larva...who wanted to eat my dreams alive and never stop! What are you now? A-A couple hundred? Can't I be free of you!?"
— Malcolm to Rumpelstiltskin, Once Upon a Time

Zagreus: Then why attempt to have a child anyway?
Hades: You don't know anything! Why anyone would choose to have a child is a mystery to me. The Fates said I would never have an heir. Perhaps this was all they meant.
