With the way the world is looking and the way people are suffering in the world, one would be convinced enough to agree with the above title.
Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. Today's post will be my entry to ecoTrain's Question Of The Week Season 6 #8, the question for this week is, "Should We Have Children Whilst So Many Kids In The World Are Suffering?" This question is something you must think through before deciding to give an answer.
Children are suppose to be a blessing to the world, regardless of how they come into this world, no child deserves to suffer the way some kids do. Most of the kids we have out there suffering today is as a result of an unplanned situation. So many persons out there are not yet ready to handle the responsibility of being a parent, but one or two situations put them in that position. Now that they are in that position, they honestly don't know what to do. I see kids in the street hawking stuffs just to survive, the sight of them looking so unkept and running around the streets just to get at least a day meal always hurt me inside. Most times, I don't even know when I will say it out loud, why have children if you can't care for them? But then, I always end up answering myself every time I ask that question.
Like I said before, so many situations surround such act. I don't plan on sharing what could prompt so many folks to have children even when they know they can't care for them, I'm here to share my thought on what I feel should be best. Honestly speaking, I will be very direct with my response, which has always been the response I give to people each time they ask me when I will get married or when do I plan to start a family. My response to this topic is, **"if you can't care for yourself, the lady in your life, please don't bother to bring a third party (a child) into your life, because you will be causing pain to that innocent child. I made a promise to myself, that I must be responsible enough to care for myself, my lady and when I noticed I can care for a child too, I will definitely have one.
So many people don't think this through before getting involved, a child is a gift from God, and how do you treat a gift, you appreciate that gift, your care for that gift. A child does not deserve to suffer in this world, and I feel it's best that if one can't care for a child, they should not even contemplate having one. Yes, situations might happen, people do have unplanned pregnancies, if deep down you know you can't raise that child, there are homes out there waiting to accept these babies. Once upon a time, I know a student in my class who really love school, but the young man barely have most of his learning materials and he was even owing his school fees, but the kid always want to be in school. One day, I was force to ask him, are your parents aware you are always sent out because of fees and you don't even have your materials? he said yes, that they don't have enough, but he really want to go to school. A very bright young man, well, I don't earn enough to pay his school fees because I have to survive also, but I took him to the school store and bought some of his materials for some of the essential subjects. Cut long story short, he later got a Community scholarship that paid his way through secondary school. I saw the kid the other day, he is learning hand work and when we talked, he said he is saving a lot and he plan to go back to school for his first degree.
That's one luck kid, even though he was able to finish secondary school, not everyone have such opportunities, I live in a society where, the moment a kid can walk and talk, hustling begin for them. No kid deserve such treatment, every kid deserve the best. I wouldn't say folks should stop having children, because we still have so many persons out there that can really take care of their own. But what I will say is, until you are able to care of yourself, your woman, and you know you are ready for the responsibility of being a parent, please don't even let the thought of a kid to cross your mind. Don't bring more Children to this world to suffer. Ignorance has made so many make this mistake in the past, no more please.
I always imagine when I will become a father and the life I plan to give to my kids. I have take care of people's kids and overtime hear people say I will do fine as a father. Sometimes I see a crying baby and I don't know how I always do it but when that child stay on my hand, he or she stops crying and feel safe. That safety is what I want my children to feel when I finally decide to bring them to this world, I will make them safe, physically, financial, mentally, even emotionally, kid's deserve all the love in the world. I know how calm inside I get when I am with a baby, that's the job of any child, they bring peace to us, why should we repay them with suffering. Children have a way of changing your lives for the better if you've noticed, you get to experience the best version of yourself, because now, you are a role model to someone and because of that child, you begin to shape your own life. They don't deserve suffering, you can help reduce the suffering by not having the thought of having a child if you are not ready to care for them. But if yours happened by mistake, then it is your sole responsibility to do everything in your power to give that child the best life that he or she deserves.
Children are precious, they don't deserve what most of them get, please, if you can't care for a child, please don't plan to have one until you are ready. Thank you for being a good reader once again.
Thanks For Visiting My Blog!

I refuse to have kids because I have studied what planned parent hood is going to accomplish, society will soon raise your child for you, and the good parents who want a natural child will be punished with the law if they don't want their kid to take sex change hormones.
This has already happened in Canada, a father is in jail for calling his daughter a daughter after she started a transition to become a boy at the young age of 13, he felt that was inappropriate and was punished for standing up for his daughter.
The lady is this video presentation is who I voted for in the last Canadian Federal Election, because I disagree on a scientific level that it's inappropriate to say your a natural male or female after transitioning.
Having a children is a choice and a critical decision to make. People should plan for it. !discovery 20
Very true, having a child is a decision everyone have to make for themselves, and if your decision is to have a child, then you must plan for it, it's important to always plan before having children.

hola @officialuroga. te felicito y seguro que te va ir bien si decides tener tus hijos "Siempre imagino cuándo seré padre y la vida que planeo darles a mis hijos... Esa seguridad es lo que quiero que mis hijos sientan" estoy de acuerdo contigo, es necesario ser responsable.
@yolithy2448 muchas gracias por tu comentario, de hecho es necesario planificar bien antes de tener hijos para que no traigamos niños a este mundo para que sufran. Cada niño que viene a este mundo merece la mejor atención y amor. Gracias por pasar.
