When one decide to have kids it is a big decision a lot of times people decide to have kids for the wrong reason Their relationship may be in trouble and they feel that having a child will keep the relationship together One must have a good reason to have a child because at the end of the day the child will be the one that suffer

I also believe in what you just said willy6 because if one has not fully made up his mind to give the kid a good future then its better to do not conceive because one cannot let a child suffer after giving him/her birth. There should be positive aspects when giving birth to a baby.

I have 6 children.I have 2 girls from my first marriage aswell as 4 boys with this marriage.People do have children for many reasons, i had children as i wanted them aswell as i new i could afford them i also had a house aswell as a regular income.Other people have children as they want to trap a partner into staying with them aswell as the thinking it is easy to get a house quicker.Alot of people do not consider the cost of having children aswell as how much hard work it can be bringing them up.

i found out first hand that having a child is a big responsibility. its just different when the child is already there and constantly needs attention and taking care of. having a child because a relationship is in trouble is just calling out for more problems to the couple. the couple has to be ready and should be stable in order to raise a child properly.

It can be a beautiful time in a parent's life when they decide to bring a child into this world. That decision should come with hope, understanding, compassion and above all love. Don't have a child just to keep someone committed to a relationship. it will never last and the child's life will be hurt by this as well. Have a child because it is the right thing to do in your heart. Life is precious and every child matters. 's

I agree for the most part, but their are people that have made it work for their kids. Before I found out I was preg with my first son my S.O and I decided that we were going to take a break. That didnt last but about a month because I found out I was preg. There was never a question of if we should be together or if it was his, he knew I wasnt the kind of person to sleep with someone that fast and with the due date we were still together. Though I do agree if you know things are not going to work having a baby isnt going to help, it just makes things a lot harder on your relationship. You have to work on your guys even more, with less time.

we should take into consideration the amount of responsibility that we would have in order for us to raise a child. it's very important to evaluate our physical, emotional and financial capacity first before we decide to bear a child.
