Broad shoulders

Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” - Genesis 3:12-13 (NKJV)

In case you don't know the rest of the story, God is thoroughly unimpressed by the excuses of Adam and Eve in the garden, and they still bear full responsibility for their actions and are promptly kicked out on their own.

Shifting the blame never ultimately works.

Among humans, you may end up distracting folks from the truth for a very long time, but God catches all of it, and there's also the material consequences for choices which affect you, even if nobody can understand why.

A child may blame a sibling successfully, and the parents never figure out, but the child then has had a bad behavior reinforced, and they'll do it again, only that next time the consequences may not be so easy to hide.

Escaping blame is never a blessing, and so it is much better to embrace it. To take responsibility, even when you don't have to, because the reality is that there is never an excuse, a reason, for a choice that you have made where someone else can take the blame for you.

Even coercion requires your participation, your judgment on whether refusal is worth your life.

All this said, this does not mean you take responsibility for what isn't yours. It is not your job to take on someone else's burdens, just like nobody else needs to take on yours, so while one should be quick to own their own choices, the reverse should be true when it comes to others.

You can offer inputs, suggestions, advice if it is asked for, but you should not take on their choices, their blame, for then you stagnate their growth, their maturity. You teach them that someone will, or at least can, always come to save them, so instead of taking responsibility, they learn how to summon the best hero to save them from choices that they've made.

Own your own decisions, let other people own theirs.
