Everyone expects the kid of a preacher to be the perfect and flawless one, whenever people hear that a kid has done something wrong, they say maybe he or she just needs to be corrected or taught some lessons about life, but on the other hand, if the child of a preacher commits the same offense, what you will hear people say is that, what nonsense, this kid is really uncultured and the kid lacks discipline despite the fact that he or she is the child of a preacher.
This illustration is what happens everywhere and the interpretation is just that every kid has the right to make mistakes except a preachers kid and this is really amazing and very questioning, does it mean that it is not the same blood that flows in a normal kid that flows in a preachers kid?
The level of perfection expected by the society from the parents is as well transferred to the innocent child who just wants to grow and have a normal life like every other kid.
The Parents have however accepted their fate and have seen it as a responsibility, they have to be very careful not to make any mistake whatsoever because that is what some people are just looking for to tarnish their image.
One annoying part about the whole thing is when the parents try to put so much pressure on the kid because they do not want their kid to make any mistake that will tarnish their image, they try to bend the kid to do right by societal standard and spiritual standards.
The social life of the child is then nothing compared to other kids, there are restrictions and laws everywhere that stop the child from being real.
At some point, we hear cases of grown-up preacher's kid who run away from home because they are tired of living their lives to please others, when such a child leaves home, the society begins to throw stones at them and call them different abusive names, they say this kid just want to destroy what the father has been trying to build for years.
A preachers kid does not have the right to live his or her own life, they only live the life of the parent and the church, they only live the type of life that the church wants them to live and that will suit their parents as well.
