jen_jen_heartbroken Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Why do so many parents neglect and abuse their children. These children of God who enter the world with innocence and wide eyes full of love to give, only to be thrust into the arms of people who hurt them in ways that haunt them for the rest of their lives. How can people do this to their own children? Link to post Share on other sites
jerbear Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Why do so many parents neglect and abuse their children. These children of God who enter the world with innocence and wide eyes full of love to give, only to be thrust into the arms of people who hurt them in ways that haunt them for the rest of their lives. How can people do this to their own children? It could be post partum syndrome. It could be that they are jealous. It could be anything. I sometimes wonder if there should be license to have children. That is besides the point. Babies and young children are so trusting and impressionable that they look up to their parents and emulate them. If they get hit, they take it out on their toys. My mom told me I did once after I was punished. After that incident she toned it down because she knew what she was doing. An ex opened my mind to adoption. Her reasoning was, there are so many babies that are unloved. This post is what bought that to my mind. Even today I would consider adoption because of her. Link to post Share on other sites
JayKay Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 That is why I have always said, people who don't like children or don't want to be parents should NEVER be pressured to have kids! Too many people are pressured and pressured to have children. They are told, "You will love the baby once it's here" and "Having kids will make you grow up and realize what love is all about" Well, I know a lot of people who are very resentful towards their kids. They never wanted them and it's pretty obvious, no matter what pretty words come out of their mouths. It's a tragedy. Link to post Share on other sites
Author jen_jen_heartbroken Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 There are some people who say they love their children, and really believe that they do. But they don't know how to take care of them. They don't realize that what they are doing is neglectful or abusive. Or if they do, they are so depressed or mentally ill themselves that they don't know how to stop. Link to post Share on other sites
inconsiderado Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 people have kids for all the wrong reasons (i.e. societal expectations, buying cheap condoms, trying to save a relationship), and lots of people who have no business reproducing do so anyways... Link to post Share on other sites
