Is it normal to make your kids lives really hard to help them

I like to put roadblocks in their way and make it near impossible for them to succeed at anything.Hiding their college scholarship papers.Doing stuff and blaming the kids for it so my wife will punish them. Making their friends hate them.Arguing with them about everything to help them being great negotiators. I think doing these things will make them tough and strong and not like ME.

    I've seen parents that do this. Their kids grow up with anxiety, depression, and other mental issues that they try to hide. It's not a good idea.

    I grew up like this and came to the conclusion my parents despised me. I ended up running away for good at 15.I probably should have sorted things out with them but everytime I tried to reconcile it went terribly wrong.I could never please them so I pleased myself instead.They would have died again if they saw how I turned out at 75 and a half.Even though I am happy with me.My best friend also grew up like this and is a recovering alcoholic who is terrified of her 97 year old mother.

    You're not making them tough, you're making them emotionally scarred. Your kids will not grow up to be healthy-minded people. And the time will come when they come back for you when you're old, and you'll wish you had been a decent father to them.

    If you want to be remembered as uncaring and emotionally abusive...

    Its necessary to toughen them up, but let them have fun sometimes, cause when they get old and are over burdened with responsibility they will have no time for it and life might seem nothing but misery to them...

    You're abusive.

    The thing about parenting is, your children will automatically view you as tough and strong by simply being their father and making sure they're loved/safe. They will live by your example. However, because you're purposely abusing them emotionally, they will not grow up strong; and may become like you or worse.
