Do children suffer for their parents choices in life?

Answer 1

Unfortunately - Yes

Parenting is the most important job on the planet and unfortunately many don't take it seriously. Developmentally a child can be impeded. Emotionally a child can be scared. Physically a child can be neglected. Socially a child can be ostracized. These effects often last late into adult hood. There are ways to overcome and rehabilitate but the process can be slow, long and painful. I am of the opinion that there is almost nothing more valuable on this planet than a good parent.

Answer 2

I would think when they are young they do suffer from a poor choice a parent makes however, we are all human and all make mistakes. I also believe that there comes a time when someone needs to grow up and take responsibilities for there actions and not blame everything that happens to them on the way they were raised.

Answer 3

Definately!
As a child, I've suffered from many of my parent's choices. Whether children experience trauma, love, negligence, etc.... those feelings and experiences will follow a child all through adulthood. Depending on what the child has had to go thru, with their parent, it can effect them in a good way, and help them to become a functional, happy adult. Or... they can end up not knowing how to have relationships of their own in life, and have a very hard time functioning themselves, and end up being a very unhappy person.
If you are going thru something like a divorce, etc.... I highly suggest that the child sees a counselor to help them transition thru this, or whatever it may be.

By your thinking then, the first century Christians were fools and hateful parents, because they would not take the easy way out, by offering incense to the emperor and saving themselves and their children. Other tests that the Romans gave to find the Christians was to offer them a blood product, and if they refused, it was a sure sign that they followed that Jewish devil named Jesus. You make much of the use of blood, which the Medical Profession has found to be deadly, and that the safest way is to NOT use blood. As the doctor that preformed surgery on my wife said, it is a sign of a lazy and incompetent doctor that can't do surgery without blood. As for the excuse it is an "emergency", most of the time it takes 1 to 2 days for a court to decide. IF it is such an "emergency", then why hasn't the patient died? On choice of medical treatment, since there are options that do not include blood, just because a incompetent and fearful doctor makes a claim doesn't mean its valid. We almost lost a young man here because the doctor didn't want to send him for tests because of stomach pains, He told the family, make him poop. For two days they tried different things, but the pain was too great. They finally took him to the ER and he had a burst Appendix which the doctor refuse to send him in for the tests. Now he is fighting off infections through out his stomach cavity because of this 'doctor'. So, don't give us a guilty trip for living by God's standards, when the doctors live by the standards of the almighty $. The doctor refused the tests because the insurance didn't like to cover them, for a "belly ache". Your reasoning reflects the fear of death that this system has breed into the culture. They have no confidence in God or his promises. Even if they claim to "Believe in the Lord Jesus!", they would rather trust a mere mortal to save them, to die later on anyway.

To a certain degree but then there comes a point in that child's life that they have to start taking responsibility for themselves and not use their parent's as an excuse.
