The role of the parent is not to teach their children how to love the parent rightly. It’s to teach their children that they are loved.

Adam’s Role
In the Bible, the father is normally the person listed as naming the children, but it’s Eve who names both Cain and Abel in Genesis 3. Adam isn’t involved.
Eve names Seth, but in Genesis 5, the text says Adam does, so the implication may be that they both did. And perhaps that’s the point. We are meant to work together.
