Family: why people need to have less kids
posted May 23, 2009 - 4:16pmA large family is hard to handle. It's even more difficult when the kids have mental illness and they can't care for themselves. This is something that people need to keep in mind if they want to give birth to a lot of kids. They can be unhappy later on when there'll be problems. Things don't always come out perfect like you think it would. What if two out of four of your kids have mental illnesses and you have to care for them daily. You can't go out or travel without finding a babysitter. This could be an obstacle for people that travel for their career. This is why people get divorce or fight in family. Problems will make people want to give up in relationships.
Many people would get pregnant and give birth without thinking that they might not enjoy the responsibility later on. They might resent their wife for making them work two jobs to take care of everyone. You have to sit down and think about it sometimes. Young people get pregnant unintentionally and they end up abusing their kids. They give up their kids for foster care even. It's difficult to go to college or work when you have four little kids that need you. You have to pay for childcare and it can be expensive. Too much kids is a problem that need to be address in our society. People would get pregnant without thinking about their future or their kid's future. There're teenagers that get pregnant when they don't have a job even. How will they care for their baby? The life of their baby will be of poor quality. Their children will grow up resenting their parents for not caring for them properly. It happens all the time in society but people often repeat this same mistake.
If you're wealthy then it's manageable to have many children but many of us aren't wealthy. Many people are just barely surviving in this kind of world that we're living in. Standards of living is high for most places in the US. I think that couples should limit their family to two kids the most since two is enough for any family to manage. I've seen parents who give birth to eight babies like the octuplet mom on the News but she doesn't even have a job. Social service did not release her children and I think that will be better for the babies. How will eight babies survive when the mother has no job. This is a problem in society that needs to fix.
