Should children carry responsibility for their parents' wrongs?

Every person starts from a different point, that's undeniable. But forcing a kid to 'pay' for their dad's crimes? That's vengeance dressed up as philosophy.

Yes, they should carry some weight. Look at any privileged family — they benefit from ancestral privilege, so acknowledgment is the bare minimum.

There's a middle ground here nobody's mentioning. You can acknowledge inherited trauma or privilege without saying kids are legally/morally bound to fix it.

lol everyone wants a clean slate until it's their turn to pay debts their grandpa left behind

Accountability chains matter though. If we completely sever generational responsibility, we ignore systemic patterns.
