The Role of Parents in Child Upbringing


THE ROLE OF PARENTS IN CHILD UPBRINGING

Hi Reader

Parenting is not for the faint of heart. Some people are threatened by it.

That is why some have decided that they do not want to have children and have chosen childfree living. Here are some of what they have given as their reasons for not wanting to have children:

  • Kids control your life, and they are very expensive to raise – not just financially, but also in time and energy. Your interests suffer when you’ve got kids.
  • I didn’t think that I could support myself and another human being without immense struggle and I just didn’t think that would be fair to anybody.
  • But creating a child is a lifetime commitment.
  • Over the years, I’ve seen so many women – and men – struggle with the realities of parenthood, and quite a few seem to lose sight of who they used to be before they had children. I get the feeling it would be bad for our mental health.

Well, those are just a few of the opinions some people have about child upbringing.

Therefore, if you already have young children or plan to have children, then you would do yourself a whole lot of favour by joining us in this discussion.
