| Topic | Is it wrong for a parent to regret having children? |
| Alexandra_Trent 04/05/17 1:19:02 PM #26: | I don't think it's wrong per se for parents to have feelings of regret of having children. Raising children isn't just providing for them physically. They require care and guidance emotionally and spiritually. To be a good parent usually means you need to lead by example. That means being the best version of yourself; striving everyday to be that person your children would look up to and aspire to be. And that's easier said that done. To be a good parent means never giving up on your child despite his/her faults and misdeeds. That requires constant vigilance, determination and never-ending sacrifice. And people are just people. We all make mistakes and have doubts. And it's all okay. It's okay to feel scared of have feelings of regret or inadequacy. But what is not ok IMHO is actually giving up the child because the parents just can't cope. We need to be accountable for our choices in life; no matter how hard it is. After all, the children didn't ask to be born. No one can choose their family. --- "Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them." -Marie, Aristocats ... Copied to Clipboard! |
