Maybe some hadiths describing the responsibilities of parents to their children would be appropriate in this thread. I can only recall the gist of a few, unfortunately.

Something about kids being like white cloth and its is the parents who colour it until the kids become Muslim or Jew, and I get the impression that it heavily emphasized the responsibility of the parents.

Some other example emphasizes the importance of halal food. One time Rasulullah noticed a boy, and he said "Ibn Shubhah!" I forget the exact explanation. Either the parents ate something doubtful before conceiving, or they had fed him something doubtful.

Others more knowledgeable than me will provide the exact wordings and other hadiths.

Islam does weigh heavily on the parents' rights, but as they say, with great power comes great responsibilities!
