Take a scenario with a mother and a young child. The kid is screaming because he doesn’t want to go to bed. The mother, after trying to reason with him, says, “You have to listen to me and go to bed, Hashem says so. ”
I get very very upset when I hear parents telling their kids things like this. Your child, at four years old, does not really care what Hashem wants while he’s having a tantrum. It’s going to make him resent Hashem if the parents use Him as an ‘excuse’.
Not exactly sure if it’s the same situation but it came to mind. I do agree with you on the Shabbos thing though.
