I think after having a child, your mission is accomplished?
The birth of a child represents death of the parents.
What do you think?
Answer:
Honey there is only one thing that you have said that I agree with. That you shouldn't have children. Not everyone should have children and someone who beleives that you're life ends when the children are born shouldn't have children, to you they would be a burden that you would come to resent and that would not be good for either the children or you. I have three children and one who will probably go away to college in the next three years. While she in college I would be able to travel, not have to worry about being home at a certain time to make sure that she's ok. I would be free to go where I wanted when I wanted with whom I wanted. I could sleep all day if I wanted or go away for some time by myself with out having to worry about making sure that she has fininshed her homework or that she has help if she needs it. I would be able to do what I wanted with out having to worry about my daughter. When all of my chidlren are on their own I will have time for the things that I have wanted to do but couldn't becasue the children come first. I will travel to differnt places I will visit people for how ever long they and I want. I will be able to cook my favorite foods with out having to worry about cooking something that a child or young adult might also want to eat. I will be able to have a glass of wine with out worrying my daughter. Because her father is an alchollic she worries if she sees me with wine so I don't drink in front of her. But I would like to have a drink on my birthday or when I'm with a special person. My parents are in their 80' s and they have been on their own for over 20 years and in those twenty years they have traveled to the caraiabean, South America, Europe ,Alaska, Pananma, And next year they hope to go back to Greece. They have enough money so that they are very comfortable with several houses and enough money to do what they want as long as their health holds out. I don't think that they would consider thier lives over and they have been parents for 60 years.
I think the birth is only the begining. you also need to raise them and be there for them thier whole lives. it is your duty to teach them as much as you can while you are still on this earth.
No way. In almost all cases its a new life for the parents. The mission is not merely having a child, but the making of a good person.
WOW what a morbid thought I had four children and was foster mom to 44 now my kids are all having their own and I get to spoil the grand kids and send them back home to their parents with tons of toys that make all kinds of head splitting noise.
Having children is an accomplishment if you get to this stage its all down hill from here baby!!
no not at all, i think having a child would be the best thing that would happen to me. I am planing on having children someday. People get married then have a family ,i mean that is what people live for you know. Then after you have a family how do you no longer need to live, that is rediculous and how will nothing ever change. there will be tons of changes in your life and most for the better because you are with the peolple you love and that is all that matters. i think you should reconsider this because you might just miss out.
You aren't a parent until you have a child.
Therefore the birth of the child can't be the death of a parent.
If you see a kid as a burden I fully agree with you, you aren't fit to be a parent.
They're pyscho and annoying and stupid but they're littkle- and they're pretty darn funny.
They're faithful and love and admire you no matter what.
You live to maintain old friendships, to make new ones, to watch your kids go through life just like you did.
Nah, honey. I've had to two kids and my life's purpose is honestly just beginning. I'm just finding it. Having children is just part of the plan. Your life's purpose... only you and God know that. We weren't put on the earth solely for reproduction. We each have a purpose.
If you don't want kids, you shouldn't have any. Life is about being you and loving life. You don't have to think about the future, just take it one day at a time, positively.
edit; {Remember, yeah I had this attitude when I was in high school. Now I have lived, and see more clearly.} Ever thought of the 'nesting' phase of a relationship? That is when you make a comfortable place to safely raise the child/children. So by your sense of life's mission, it must be over as soon as conception has done the bit of magic. Really, all about attracting a fertile mate? I don't want to agree, but possibly that is how others see us, so it can be one valid measure. Just not the end, by any means. The end: = the meaning of life. Survival. Man. Woman. Love. Birth. Death. Infinity.
Once you have a child you need to live twice as long, as the wolves do such a p*ss poor job of raising them.
Maybe you are looking at this question in the totally wrong way.
When you have children, it is the best moment in your life, nothing comes close to it.
However you as a parent do not own your children and neither do they own you.
Naturally you spend a great deal of time with them but as they mature and develop it becomes less and less.
When they leave home to go to university or on whatever path they choose then you are able to re-think your life's dreams.
So I disagree with you, My 2 girls have left home and I am rediscovering all those areas of my life I put on hold whilst they were growing up.
Where in the world are you getting your crazy information from.....
Your world does NOT end once a child is born! You are the parent and have the responsibility of raising the child!
Did your parents die immediately after you were born....
I gave birth to 3 children and have 4 grand daughters - I'm NOT dead yet!!!!!!!!!...
Your Child is your blood and you, its a new begining for you. you can feel it when u become mother/father and feel the magic of your child's smile or watching him/her playing.
life has different stages when one stages finishes another begins. and every stage has its joys and sadnesses.
