We know from epigenetics that stress upon parents can result in changes to their kids born much later.
For example, if raised in a multi-year N Korean famine, then epigenetics now explains why your kids, born ten years later, will be fatter. The ongoing question is whether that genetic change will also affect your grandchildren.
