In some African societies, women who do not conceive quickly enough after marriage can face harsh treatment from their in-laws. This societal pressure has conditioned many people to believe that they must have children, whether or not they genuinely desire to do so. In most cultures, women are not given an in-depth education about parenting, and they are expected to have children.
The question of whether or not to have children is a personal one that should be based on individual desires and goals. Some people have chosen to be child-free, but they may have doubts about whether they will regret this decision later in life, especially when they are no longer able to conceive. It is essential to consider the purpose behind the decision to have children carefully.
Many people do not question the purpose behind their decisions regarding childbearing. For example, when someone is looking for a job, the purpose is financial stability. When someone wants to get married, the purpose may be companionship, love, or economic stability. However, when it comes to having children, many people do it without a clear purpose simply because it is what is expected of them.
Knowing why you want to have a child before you have one is important. Identifying the purpose behind the decision is essential, as this will guide you in deciding whether to have a child. In some African cultures, having children is considered a retirement plan. Children are expected to take care of their parents when they are old. However, there may be other reasons to have a child in countries with good retirement plans.
While having children can be a joyous experience, it is essential to understand that it is not a walk in the park. Parenting is emotionally, physically, and financially draining. It requires a significant investment of time, energy, and resources. It is essential to consider whether you have the mental capacity to care for a child, especially if you live in a country where it is difficult to get support in raising a child. Do you have the resources to raise the child? If well invested, the financial resources of training a child can be a great retirement plan without the mental drain of raising a child.
The harsh reality is that even if you invest all you have in a child, that child may still not be kind-hearted enough to care for you in your old age or may even die before you. Being child-free is not wrong, just as having a child is not wrong. However, having a solid purpose for whichever decision you make is important because having a child can change your life forever as it is a life long commitment.
Having children should be based on personal desires and goals rather than societal expectations. While children are a gift from God, it is essential to remember that not everyone is called to be a parent. It is important to carefully consider the purpose behind the decision to have children, as this will guide you in deciding whether to have a child. Whether you choose to have children or not, it is essential to remember that the decision should be based on personal desires and goals and not on societal expectations.
