Horoscope of a natal (male/female) has its own promises and dasha sequence. When fortune will change (even after or before of birth of a child). This will reflect in the horoscope of natal.
It is convenient to say that fortune of parents is changed after birth of child. In fact promise and dasha will reflect the same. Similarly, child will have his own fortune, which will be based on the fortune of parents. Every event of the family member will reflect in each other’s horoscope.
Regarding, affliction – certainly there will reflection of such affliction in parents horoscope too. Every one has his/her own future/promise in horoscope, and is reflected accordingly, in sibling’s horoscope as well in parents horoscope. Yes, children are helping in building in fortune of parents but will also reflect in horoscope or parents and child.
This is my way of thinking, possibility of difference of opinion is not ruled out.
