Parenthood is a burden- and it has become increasingly so due to the financial and moral melt downs of recent times. I mean, who wants the stress of wondering if your child has been kidnapped or brutalised when you don't see or hear from them after an hour: now that is too much stress!!
For those like myself who have taken this bold step (I am Mom to 2 young children): there are numerous personal sacrifices that one has to accept as the norm. The more annoying ones that come to mind are the sacrifices to: friendship; social/love life; oral and physical hygeine.
However with all of this annoyance, I take up my mandate as a parent with vim and vigor. And I strive to be responsible and protective of my young charges. In addition, I am careful not to influence other people's thoughts on the topic with the typical shoulder shrugs, eyeball roll, and mellodramatic diatribe when colleagues often ask me, "How is it?" or "What's it like".
In my experience-speculating if one should or shouldn't make that move is nothing compared to the shock of finding out you actually are...and then dealing with a new life and soul...very humbling!
Do I recommend parenthood?
I won't say yes and I won't say no. If you have to think too much about it- then don't...life is too precious to be destroyed by, careless...senseless...self-centered parents. WHO THE CAP FIT...LET THEM WEAR IT!!! (Words of wisdom there from the late, great Bob Marley).
For those of us committed to good parenting, please go the extra mile and foster a child through the Child Development Agency (CDA).Go to the following website for more info. on fostering a child: cda.gov.jm/foster_care.php
All good parents need financial assistance. So please check out this one: www.ongoingprofit.com/idevaffiliate/pages/202345.php
