I'm not sure if Dobson says it or not, but I would LOVE to see a discussion of the topic bc I agree with PP that it is SUPER prevalent in American evangelicalism....(my DH is Haitian and from an evangelical family, and I've never heard of any of my Haitian in-laws saying anything like this at all- in fact, I think the way they see kids is a bit more utilitarian, as in we need to do everything possible as a couple to make sure our children get a good education because we know they'll take care of us/their siblings/the extended family when they're older. They love their kids too, of off course, a lot, I'm not trying to imply they don't. But i did roll my eyes and giggle a bit at my husband our first night in the hospital when he said, all emotionally to our sleeping son in his arms, "man, I'm so glad you're here. You're going to bury me." as in my husband could relax now bc he had a son who would see him through to his death and make sure he had a proper burial- a big deal in Haiti.)
