Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.psalm 127 vs. 3


parents are only care takers!

Nobody 'owns' a child. We just take care of them till they are mature enough to stand on their own. Beating a child is the worst form of correction. They will just learn not to do that bad thing in your presence.

bastrin I think you are right.

soji, kudos to you.

i think a child should be left to decide that!

My friends, there is no such thing as I in marriage, from the day you get married you both become one and also become parents when you get a child. the children does not belong to the man or woman rather both.

thanks

Father and Mother owns the child.

Mother owns the child because she alone knows who the ^true[b][/b] father of the child is.

Let either parent try selling the kids and would find out who really owns the kids.THE GOVERNMENT!all arguements both paying for stuff and carrying who for what months wouldnt cut it.If you rerally own something,you can sell it abi?

md4real, thank you

u welkum!!!

Both are the owners of the children,without the woman the child will not come to the world and without the man the woman will never conceive unless she decides to be Mary mother of Christ.

Is a child some kind of property?

thank you coolier. None of them OWN the children. These are kids not a pair of slippers!

none of them,
since ther's an argument between both of them.

@hilli
People are talking about bringing up kids, you are talking about how Nigerians are frustrated. What arrant nonsense. And you mean you'll woz your folks for any reason at all? Bros, please like Nairalanders always say, focus on the
topic.

the the stress of carrying a baby for nine month, the delivery period and all those stuffs suffred by pregnant women, i surely give em to the mothers.

Biologically, the woman donates a egg while the man donate a sperm. The woman then carried the fertilised egg in her for 9 months , feeding, nurture, Maritain and protect. After birth the child depend on her breast milk for survival and she sees him /her through the tender years. All this while the man is just a passive observer.

If the child were to be a company , the woman ,by virtue of her contribution would hold the majority share , over 70%. While the man would be a minority holder of between 1% to 29% , depending on his role and support.

i think the grandparents

the child is a blessing from God and the 2 couple jointly own him. in case of separation or divorce, the father then takes custody of him. Also where the two parent hold two opposing opinions on the child, that of the father reigns supreme.

there was a case in my area. the father just converted into a religion where new baby is named on the 7th day. so, the father wantedd the child named on seventh day but the mother wanted 8th day. there was confusion. but the child was named on the 7th according to the father's wish.

this line that mothers use about carrying that child for 9 months and going through labour is getting monotonous to be honest
and quite frankly should be classed as manipulation and emotional blackmail
yes, i am a woman and i think the entire process of child birth from shag to push is a miracle
a wonderful thing even to bring a life into the earth that i cannot wait to have mine
now while both parents do their best to raise that child and give it a life they deem best
that child is an individual and not a posession, it (he/she) is not owned!!! by anyone , period.

IMO, both d fada n moda haz got ah role 2 play in d life of d child!!!!

kemi i dnt blive ur story,u form am

Shaz:

Both parents, of course!

yES OOOOO

me and my hubby

bilymuse good point.

rampagain come to my compound and i wil prove you wrong.

If you walk up to a Vendin' Machine and insert your 100naira note and a can of Coca-cola comes out, who owns it? You or the Vendin' Machine,

Theres your answer,

Non of the two own the child. The child belongs to the government. That's why the child is christened "Government Pikin"
