The parent-child bond, at least within modern society, is also a relationship of power and control, a social position where the parent is granted by society the expectation of subservience from their child, and relationships of authority like that are frequently where such ideological thinking is expressed.The parent/child bond is easily the strongest emotional tie that exists in human life - obviously there are exceptions, but a parent caring for a child is one of the things that's most likely to break that parent out of any ideological thinking (even if only for their child, not more broadly).
This is why it's so frequent for homophobic or transphobic parents to make their gay and trans children homeless, for example. Sure, some homophobic or transphobic parents learn to make an exception for their kid, but we don't need to look for a deeper psychological reason for why most don't because the reason lies in the nature of the relationship itself.
