Do you blame them? Would you want your daughter hooking up with the town druggie? If I were a parent and I have a way to stop it without bad feelings, you bet I will. People who want to share have a reason. Either it is because it improves THEIR average or buy them immortality. If I am broke, you bet I will want to average my salary with Bill Gates. If I were Bill Gates, I might want to "donate" a hospital wing for tax reasons and/or to buy myself immortality which might rub off on my kids. Or I might want to do something to please my deity, wife, etc, etc.
