We parents usually say “We only want what’s best FOR you!” It means that even when we’re telling you to behave or think or respond in a certain manner that you may disagree with, we’re only doing this for your advantage. It may not seem so at the time, but it usually is truly for your good.

Are you sure you don’t mean to say “we only want what’s best FOR you?”. that’s what parent’s usually say. Anyway, it means that they have thier childs best interest in mind. even if it makes the child unhappy, they’re doing for the good of the child.

Is your question a typo? If you mean to say “what’s best FOR you, then:
It means they only want to secure the safety and well being of their child.
If you meant it the way it is typed, then I think it means they only want the child to put forth his best effort.

As a parent myself, when I utter those immortal words, I mean that I want what is in my child’s best interests. In other words, I want whatever it is I feel will benefit my child most.

I’m thinking it’s a Jesus answer. Probably left to random chance. Old addage; plan the work and work the plan.

This means that what theyr’e trying to tell you to do, or what they want you to believe is correct:
1.) Because it’s best for you (you won’t fail if you do it).
2.) They ‘re saying it (i.e. we know better) so it’s true.

it means that they are doing what they THINK is best for you but that doesn’t mean that it actually is best for you.

“Since what we are doing is too complicated for you to understand, and we are too lazy to take the extra steps to really make it right, you will do what we tell you to do and like it!”
