Parenting

Hello steemians, welcome to my blog. Today, I will be talking about parenthood and curses.

A colleague and I had a discussion about parents and the sacrifices they go through in order to cater for their children's needs and she made a statement; " Parents should not act like they are doing the child(ren)a favour, after all they did not ask to be born".
I did not agree with the statement she made so I told her my opinion.

Parents spend their time,money,energy and resources to train kid(s).The money put in to care for a child needs, pay the medical bills and
educational fees would add up to great amounts to start up a business.

Sometimes, they deny themselves of certain needs in order to cater for their children. They have to balance work, stress, manage the home and their kids.

My colleague argued against my points. She was of the view that kids or no kids. There will always be expenses and bills to settle. Even the cost of maintaining certain gadgets and properties would amount to large amounts of money.

I told her that when she have kids that we can this discussion again. Lol.

Curses
I observed that in some cultures, parents tend to curse their children when scolding them. This is a wrong way of training kids.

Cursing your kids will not solve the situation. It will only make it worse. Children can be demanding and annoying at times but cursing them is not the way to instill discipline in them.

Think about it, if you curse them and they encounter misfortunes as they get older. You will be affected in the long run. If they succeed in life, you will benefit from it.

It's better to say positive words to them especially at those moments they get you really pissed.

Remember, there will be good and tough times with kids. Enjoy the parenting experience. Lol! Cheers to all the wonderful parents out there.
