DrinkLimca:I don't mean it in a bad way but children are a burden. If you can't take care of a child and not ready to train your child then no need having them cos you will make sacrifices and plans that will serve as a burden to you! It's the bitter truth oga 6 Likes |

i agree with her but only to a certain extent. children are a blessing but they can also be a burden. infact even as a guy (am not even the one to carry the baby ooo) i live with this fear anytime i see a kid that has been failed by his parents. so the lady is just saying the bitter truth. 4 Likes |

remsonik:That was why i said people that think children are burden are not responsible.. by the way no child is a burden.. If you can't take care of a child, give him or her up to families that wants a child.. saying the kid is a burden is not right,, that statement is very wrong.. 1 Like |

Auntie Mental Health, were you a burden to your mother too? ![]() ![]() Yes having kids requires sacrifice. Same as our parents did. Humans have had kids since eternity, even when living caves and battling the elements. They could have decided not to have kids and let mankind go extinct. At least these days we have the means to control how many kids we procreate. This further stresses the need for kids to have a dad & mum. While one takes time out of career to raise the kids, the other continues to climb. This days, if the woman has a better job or has better prospects, the man can take time out. Current New Zealand PM plans to do just that after her six weeks maternity leave later this year. Her hubby will look after their baby. 3 Likes |

If that is how it is for you better not to give birth. Do not abort So not use contraception either. Leave other people's children alone. Just face your work. |

With your simple grammar they can't understand your point just because of your sexy look. This Lady don't appreciate giving but, but is it that you're a load to your parent? Well is all about planning, just did your maths well and you will never regret of having children. Priscy01: |

remsonik:Stop using the term children are burden .. I get your point but at a time in our life, we have to adjust to current situations of life, we all have to make sacrifices one way or the other.. That is what makes us responsible humans.. There is no love without sacrifice.. But if one can't take care of his child, then there are foundations that can take care of the child.. If the foundations don't see them as burdens then they are not a burden.. |

She has the right to say this and she is right with it. Like it or leave it. I can read her mind on this. She is not saying you should not have a child, she is not saying you can't have as many children as you want. She is only beckoning on you to notice the implication of raising a child/ children. There are sacrifices you have to make as parents; in giving your children the quality of life they deserve. We have grown past that era were raising so many kids symbolized fame, strength and royalty depending on the belief one has. Truly speaking, the time used to raise many kids can cost you your career or even your life. On a little note, raise quality and not quantity. 10 Likes |

It is well. If you don't like it, you can skip them. But don't come back tomorrow and cry of childlessness or your husband having another wife. Your mother in law will reply you very soon. |

DrinkLimca: Dude you're are misconstruing the definition of that burden in the contest of the writer's view. A burden in this case means a heavy task ( describe a problem or a responsibility as a burden, you mean that it causes someone a lot of difficulties, worry, or hard-work. - Collins dictionary) the OP is saying the actual truth even if it may sound unpleasant to some people.. When an offspring is sick or admitted, parents are not settled in their thought, they can go extra miles to stop existing project to attend to their children's need 7 Likes |

Cutehector:What she said is right tho. Even when ur rich and can hire 10 maids you still have to be there physically,which means you have to close early from work n do some other things you don’t do when ur single. Just like a mother having to wake up by 2am in d morning to wake up the little one to go and pee. It really is stressful 5 Likes |

I understand her to some point.. don't bring children into this world when you know you can't take care of them. now another thing is this financial balance in life is by the grace of God... whether you like it or not everyday will not be milk and honey honestly if many people where to look at the reasons not to have kid's.. then majority of Peep's won't think of procreation.. my family for example.. when I was born my dad didn't have a job for three year's it was really tough for my Peep's.. @ some point I wonder why they didn't wait till all was good.. later in life have come to understand that you can never be completely ready in all aspects for kid's.. if you say you want to wait honestly you might never do it.. 2 Likes |

DrinkLimca: It's not a wrong thing to say. So you mean to say that you will go ahead and put someone in the family even though you don't have the capacity. Don't start what you can't handle. Tired of seeing women with five children begging all across the street. African man thinks about miracles saying God will take care of the child. Wake up from your slumber dude, nobody will take care of the child. 7 Likes 1 Share |

eleojo23: I will.agree with you on the first comment you made about having a sizeable number of children you can cater for even the rich who have money tends to look after few kids . But on your second statements i totally disagree. What if she has her masters degree and shes yet to marry let alone having kids? Have you thought about that ,so life is a give and take you take whatever it present to you. I have seen career ladies with phd but are yet to have a man in.there life all.because they feel.there struggle to career part is much important than having a man in there life. |
