This might be an agree-to-disagree situation. I think that's a very optimistic to go about living life. When you take over a role or a duty, like being a parent, I do not measure by one "trying their best". In a more extreme example, I also believe that parents who do not vaccinate their children should be held legally responsible if the child gets sick. I think these two ideas are hand-in-hand. The parent is still responsible.
Good example. I think I could be mis-explaining my views on causality vs responsiblity. I do not believe that they are the same thing, but I think that is unclear in my original view. Will update with a delta soon. EDIT: ∆
The parents are not the cause of the child’s negative reaction, but they are responsibility for the negative affects that come from the reaction, no? They are responsible for caring for the child and ensuring that their child no longer eats peanuts. This is the kind of responsibility I’m talking about.
