I don't know if I'm the only one who sees some children everyday running around in the neighbourhood bare-footed and oftentimes scantily clothed? I don't know also if I'm the only one who notice them scavenging through trash bins, sleeping in vulnerable places and positions, playing in gutters and trenches, go a whole day barely eating and always at the risk of being run down by some reckless driver?
But the biggest question I don't know if I'm the only one who asks is "WHO AND WHERE ARE THE PARENTS"?
I mean what's the sense in having children you are not prepared to be responsible for?
A parent isn't just someone who brings a child into the world- anybody can do that. There's another word for parenting, it's called RESPONSIBILITY. Whether you are religious or not, it is a terrible thing to have a child you won't take of.
It is so horrible to learn that some parents actually depend on their underage children to feed- by sending them hawking or serving as domestic helps. Such a shame!
My heart bleeds anytime I see kids like this. They do not, in any way, deserve such cruel fate.
To be a parent means you're prepared to shoulder the responsibility of feeding, accommodating, mentoring, leading, guiding, instructing and at the barest minimum clothing that child.
It's only fair, then, to advise that you should the baby making part until you are ready else they will curse you to your grave.
Yes, go ahead and marry if you must just don't have kids until you can be a parent.
