May God shower His blessings and love on you.
Maybe it isn't strong enough.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
I do in one way feel He already has, I am here and thanking him and He has given me a good loving husband! (that is how our pastor put it - we didn’t “find” each other God brought us together)
“Women Who Wish They’d Never Had Children”
Put it up for adoption then. Helllooooo????
While my four children were smalle, I had to ask God to give me strength about 50 times a day. Can't imagine getting through this phase without having a strong faith.
That I believe is what's going on with these regretful mothers today - they probably have no background of faith.
Other than the Amish and Mennonites, and to some extent the Mormons, the Christian world has not produced a large community that will preserve their cultural and religious inheritance.
“When Im in Toronto, and I walk around the streets downtown, all I see are miserable women (and men too, lets be fair), most of them are childless, husband-less, often drunk.”
Exaggerate much?
How on earth would you know that these people are childless and husband-less ??????????????
.
On the first day of 1961's Sociology 101 class, my professor smugly asked, "What will the ultimate effect of birth control become?".
I had no idea at the time, but that eventually became the most troubling question of my life.
My daughter decided not to have children and I applaud her decision. She does not have the patience or temperament for a 24/7 job like that and it would not be rewarding. My son and his wife had a child last year after trying for a long time. He works out of his home so both parents can spend a lot of time with their son. They are such good parents and are experiencing so much love as they care for this precious child! It is all in attitude. Self-absorbed people should not have kids.
So would I.
I could barely take care of myself, let alone a young life. Childrearing is a big responsibility (as is marriage), and I'm lucky to have realized it.
I still feel a little wistful, but I know that I cannot compare myself to someone raised with the right family, right values, right environment, right community. I was pretty orphaned.
I'm so sorry to hear your story. Mine was similar in that my mother, a disturbed and depressed individual, probably should never have gotten married, let alone have children. She destroyed my brothers.
I try to be grateful that she at least gave me life. Religion helped to make it meaningful. Maybe it was just as well that my family was secular; otherwise, given our dynamics, I would have become hostile toward religion.
I can't help wondering if many of these SJW types grew up with kooky mothers. Instead, everyone blames the fathers.
I worded that badly, people I meet/know, additionally I’m in hipsterville/artsy area, many gay people, singles, lots of nightlife. I’m reasonably sure people in the pubs/nightlife on a regular basis aren’t raising families.
I’ve posted my opinion here before and have been pig-piled on because of it. Apparently some believe that being a bad parent is better than being childless. The home I was raised in pretty much sucked, too.
