What Really Makes Pastor's Kids So Special Among Their Equals?

[Fearnot87]

WHAT REALLY MAKES PASTOR'S KIDS SO SPECIAL AMONG THEIR EQUALS?Dozens of expectations are heaped on pastors' children and this notion seems puts them on the spotlight.Honestly not very many understand the rare pride and dignity that accompany such a linage.But in general consensus what are these pride and dignity that they are entitled to possess as children of the priest?

I'd say for some its a burden. Which is half the time when they are teens they rebel and turn away from God. Being a pastors kid means your every second of life from what you eat, who you talk to, what you say, what you do is examined with a find tooth comb. Not only by your parents but by your congregation and by others. You are far more likely to have trials because you are looked upon to be perfect. People forgot your just as normal and imperfect then any other kid your age. For those who survive growing up as a pastors kid (and stay a christian), there is a degree of pride knowing you passed such overwhelming peer pressure and that you are a amazing person likely.

Though even if you make it ok, when people find out your a pastors kid the rest of your life sometimes involves people judging you when you mess up because they assume as an adult you will be perfect too. And for some, trying to find love is hard because your put at higher standards by those looking to want to be with you. So some may turn you down because they think your way better then they could be. Or they will turn you down because they feel you will talk down to them because they can't match your level as a christian.

Ummmm. I don't really feel special to be a PK. My mom's our minister. I do think it's a privilege to be her daughter just cause she's amazing. She's done a real job making it so that we don't feel like we're in the spotlight, tbh. Cause all kids are gonna mess up and just be normal kids. Nobody wants to feel like they're up on a pedestal & everybody is watching them waiting to see if they'll fall off. She makes sure we've never felt like that.
