She's totally right. Many children are brought into this world carelessly with no plans for them. If you are not ready to make a sacrifice to train a child then there's no need having a child!
It's a bitter truth you need to adjust the way you live your life when you start having children. This involves both father and mother but in the case where parents are estranged and not together such a child have very slim chances of enjoying life and getting the best from it.

Just like all those women on the road with 5 children begging and she’s still breastfeeding another one. Got me wondering “so a man can spend his energy to straff and sweat ontop of you yet he can’t sweat to feed them”

A Nigerian Mental Health Practioner has declared and given her reasons why she feels children are a burden.

In her tweet that has since gone viral, she wrote children often slow down careers, and they are very costly and time also consuming.

Read her full tweets below;
“Children are a burden (I don’t mean this in a bad way, it is what it is). They often slow down careers, are very costly and are very time consuming. It’s sad that some are carelessly brought into the world by people unwilling to make those sacrifices.”

“Without a kid you typically have to mainly worry about yourself. With a child, you have to factor them into every decision you make. You have another load to carry, you can’t be as impulsive and frivolous, you shift your way of living to accommodate them.”

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.

Is that a bad way to reason?

Is a man supposed to be more important than their career?

How can she start her tweet with, "children are a burden?".. That's totally wrong from someone with bulgy big popping-out eyes.
Anyways, that one na her opinion.. As for me, children 'cannot be a burden'..
I even wonder why she said they are time consuming.. For fucksake, we do have nannies.. If u dont have the time for them, these nannies do..
For her to Say that you have to change your life style to blend their's, shows how immature, incompetent, stupid and dirty her life is..
If you dont keep late nights, drink toomuch, smoke, sleep around or even mismanage your resources or commit unnecessary 'basic' vices,.. then which life did you say you want to change?
Someone just play for her that M.I's song..
When she finally fixes her miserable life, she'd know that children aren't burdens.. Instead, na her lifestyle dey bother am.

You were never a burden cos your parents made sacrifices and plans for you. Some are never ready to take care of their children cos when they are growing it's a burden to them. You need to adjust your lifestyle for them as responsible parents.
She said children are a burden, she did not classify whether it is the ones that were prepared for.
Re: “children Are A Burden. They Slow Down Careers & Are Time Consuming” - Lady by kenodrill: 7:16am On Mar 08, 2018
Most women in our present contemporary society don't value marriage hence they assume children to be a burden n even in most cases still relates it to their men.am sure with time Nigerians will adopt the life style of the western folks where contract marriage seems to be the way to a full liberal life.

God bless you jaree.
especially in Nigerian churches where they scream be fruitful and multiply!
there are more pressing issues nowadays.
Nigeria would be the third most populous country by 2030, imagine that population with the current state of things.

If that is the point she was trying to make, she should have said children are big responsibilities. Using "burden" makes it sound negative.

Will you carter for there needs? how would you feel if your parents are unable to provide your basic needs or simply think there are better things to do than nurse a baby, but still brought you to this world to suffer. Its a crime to birth a child you cannot carter for, in Europe.

I think she is indirectly trying to say that people should give birth to the number of kids they can take care of.

Don't go and be producing children as if na only you God give the command 'be fruitful and multiply'

And she is also right on the second point. My Mum got her master's degree when I was studying for my own first degree... something she would have gotten earlier if she wasn't busy taking care of us.

I know men who do 2 jobs because they have kids to take care of. If they didn't have kids, they can live on one job comfortably with their wives.

So parenting involves sacrifices.
she didn't make any indirect comments. She was very unambiguous. She sees children as a burden cause of d things she won't b able 2 continue doing if she has them.she wasn't talking about family planning

They have the same meaning. Some of them will grow up to become a problem to the society. If you can't give them the best, please save the world another trouble maker. Only well trained children are beneficial to the society and worth celebrating. My cents

burden and responsibility aren't d same thing.Children aren't a burden, they are an investment that's y parents take responsibility for their upkeep and training. when u use d word burden, u are saying I have something that is a nuisance. With such a mentality, I don't how a child will grow 2b anything meaningful

You see Darling, when you are broke in life, things like this becomes a nightmare for you.


Have money.. Everything gets easier. Even with kids, some people still survive and are doing better than the single ones out there.



It's not all about money.
Have you seen a woman with twins or triplets?

My aunt almost had a nervous breakdown... imagine having to breastfeed 2-3 hefty kids turn by turn at same time?
So what can money do in such scenario?...buy breast milk? undecided
