PARENTHOOD

When we talked about the content in life, we mentioned that people are one of the elements that makes up life. Within people, we have families. That is how we form this wide spread stream of individuals living together and which results into nations and continents. Family is a thread that goes around them and brings them together and enable them to share interests and ties. Amidst what we call family, we have some people called fathers and some mothers and a further stretch gives forth to another grope called children. It is a repeated procedure and format that is painted all over the face of life. The only difference is the motives and principles over which such families are founded on. Some are brought about through culture, some routine and others might be just be a natural occurrence that counteracted their journey to somewhere. Inside these founding factors, lies a major riddle that has not received successive response. Whereas some can point to something as being the source of who they are now, there is a looming paradox ism of what really is the right formula to parenthood. People grow and comes to a certain age and they think that it is at that juncture where they need to assume a new leave and they practically take action and jump the broom or cross the road. Whether in ignorance or informed nature, it takes place. Some found it happening and cued in without considering to question anything. That is how life is supposed to be some thought so. There is no sold and grounded background under the arms of some families. When we look around, the thought of not having considered that line of direction is largely spread along. Among other groups in this similar life, The decisions to assume new life has become a burden and to some a serious mistake that is highly regretted. If we delve into all factors in the interest of a child, we find the situation to be exacerbated as many children around the globe rarely get the kind of security and protection they deserve. The issue here in form of a question is that, is parenthood meant for everybody? Does everyone has the relevant requirements to clinch that title? What of these school going children who meets with this nightmare amidst their journey? Since we found families in this life, must we just choose it simply because it is a routine within our reach even if we know well that we don't have what it takes to be parents? The level of ignorance is high yet little is taking place to address the matter. People are fascinated without thinking through the whole process and more-so the responsibility part. We have a record high number of people who are becoming parents regardless of what life is equipped to offer them. Why should society punish children with issues and contents that are too complicated for their ages? Why can't people choose competence first before resting their interests if they are genuine in the first place? Don't we think it is high time we decided to level- headed about family matters and respected it and only act when we are fully informed, ready and packed with sold underpinning lessons that should determine the next step in life? It is not worthy to experience the ramshackle that  a family being the stronghold of life is going through. Can people mature up and behave as grown ups and only decide when they think they need to choose? Can we restore the dignity that family deserves? Let parents have what it takes to be parents. Don't just assume an act on assumptions and speculations. Have the desired knowledge of something that can prompt objectivity to inspire a livid decision that has complete elements to take up responsibility.
