Oh, absolutely. (And it's one of the reasons why I love Into the Woods so much, and always have.) 'Consequence' is one of my absolute favorite things to explore in stories, hands down -- part of the reason Tosha is SO MUCH one of my characters is that I love playing the sort of character who makes choices fully aware of consequences and does them anyway because he HAS TO.
Parents and children, and the influence of parents ON children, was another thing ItW and Alternity have in common. In Alternity's case it's most often "older generation and younger generation" more than a literal "parents and children", but "careful the things you say, children will listen; careful the things you do, children will see and learn" and "careful the spell you cast, not just on children, sometimes the spell may last past what you can see and turn against you. Careful the tale you tell, that is the spell."
