having children

Woman and having children


I am a firm believer that not all women should have children. I do not have any children of my own but I have worked with children for years and I have seen how they can be treated. It takes a lot of patients and love to have a healthy child and I don’t think that all women have what it takes mentally to have a child.

As for me, I can’t wait to have children. I love being around children they are fun to be around and can say and do the craziest things. But I am in college and I want to wait until I get out and get on my feet to settle down. I think that it takes a lot to be a mother. You have to give up a lot of things for your child. I think that you need to make sure that you are ready to make that commitment before you have a child. I know that there are cases where people have children even if it’s not the right time and I have so much respect for them. There is no way that I could go to college, get a degree and have a baby.


I have seen many great children being neglected and it is sad. I have seen mothers who take their children to daycare and leave them there until closing and don’t spend very much time with them. These are the children that act out. These are the children that want attention so bad that they will do anything to get it, even if it is negative attention. I know that most parents have to work to support their families but they also need to spend quality time with their children.

  1. I agree with all the points you made in your posting and it is very important that parents spend quality time with their children. I have also seen mothers leaving their children all day at the daycare center because they have to work. There are wonderful children being mistreated and abused daily which is unfortunate. I have decided that i want to start having children when i have the time and resources because the decision we make affects everyone around us. Many children have behavior problems because they lack the attention and training they need from their parents.Spending quality time with your children can show them the love and affection they need.

  2. I have very similar personal views as you do. I am certain that one day, when the time is right I will have children. But Until I am prepared with a secure and stable environment to raise children as well as being financialy prepared I will not intentionally have children. My aunt is a child advocate with child protective services so I am constantly hearing stories of chilred who live in diplorable conditions because parents are unable to provide for their children or are ilequiped with the necessities to raise children. I think it is irresponsible for anyone to intentionally bring a child into this world when the parent knows that are not able to properly care for a child.
