I know for myself, just the typical teenage aggravation I caused my parents is enough to make me cry from this vantage point. I sometimes think kids today have it too easy and get too much too soon, take everything for granted. Parents make mistakes in raising kids, but they sure shouldn’t have to die for it.
My child rearing years are well behind me. I know that I made mistakes as a parent. Just as you said...it’s a given that parents will make mistakes in raising kids. I’m thankful that it was a relatively easy experience for me at the time - compared to some - and that all turned out well.
I wouldn’t want to have to fight the forces of evil warring against God fearing parents for their children’s respect and affection these days. It seems to be coming from every direction.
OTOH, we often see innocent little children being subjected to the worst kind of evil at the hands of their godless parents.
Sad to say, I don’t see the hope of it getting any better any time soon at the rate we’re going in this country...too much calling evil good, and good evil.
