The economy of having children

[Fiasem20]

Children isn’t a burden rather they’re blessing to their parents.Children contribute in a family,definitely every member of the family has a role to play likewise the children,though it may not be financial wise but the little they can also mean a lot.My advise to youth is;they shouldn’t give birth to children when they’re not yet financially stable to provide for themselves talk more of raising children,do you know the cost of raising a child in this economy,though it may sound funny but it’s just the bitter truth.My friend do say “don’t bring children to this world to suffer”it’s the responsibility of every parent to carter and provide for their children.

In my country, it is pretty common for parents to have kids then think that their kids are their hope. That is because they get kids without being financially ready for it yet and then they just eventually hope that when their kids grow up they will be the ones to build wealth for them. But is having kids the reason why people end up financially worse over the years? Do not get me wrong, kids are a blessing but realistically speaking they are expensive. Is it fair to yourselves and to the kids to have kids just to leave it up to them to be wealthy and let them grow up through hardships?

This reminds me what my grandma said to me years ago, everything works by different grace, some children brings blessings to family,so some brings badlocks, problems, arguing, children themselves are not the root problem, The real issue is having kids without financial planning and then placing economic expectations on them, Children are human beings, not investment or retirement strategies when parents expect their children to save them financially in the future it often creats pressure, guilt, and emotional burden for the child, This can damage relationships and limit the childs own opportunities, Children don't make people poor unprepared parenthood in a difficult economic system does. kids are a blessing, yes, but blessing, still require responsibility, it is more fair to both parents and children when having kids is a conscious decision not a gamble on the future.

I don't know if you have children or not, but you're right. Children may not bring financial benefit, but they play an incredibly important role in maintaining marital and family happiness. That is far more important than financial matters, because if a family is constantly experiencing conflict and disagreement. In that case, finances will also be significantly affected

My advise to youth is;they shouldn’t give birth to children when they’re not yet financially stable to provide for themselves talk more of raising children,do you know the cost of raising a child in this economy,though it may sound funny but it’s just the bitter truth.My friend do say “don’t bring children to this world to suffer”it’s the responsibility of every parent to carter and provide for their children.

Your advice is not entirely wrong, but think about this. If you've tried your best but your financial situation hasn't improved after many years. What will you do? Because you need to know that having children too late also has disadvantages and risk

Before getting married, not only I but also my friends shared the same thought. We also agreed that financial stability is essential before having children. But after all these years, most of us believe that this view is not entirely accurate.

Are you saying that parents should not be training their children to any level of education,or parents should not be giving birth to children they can train because their children will not appreciate them? You don't have to let your children know that you are training them to build houses or buy cars, because it will make the child or children not to be focus on their future, because they know that there are plenty responsibility from their parents.

If you are not a lazy human being, this economic will not stop you to give birth to one or two children you cannot train to become a better person in the future, because no child that will grow up seems his parents helped him to achieved wealth and the child will not reward his parents to appreciate them for the good training.

I kept wondering why most parents has this mindset , it really disgust me , the whole essence of having kids is for them to grow up and elevate you from poverty , this has  made some children to become a breadwinner at an early age which result to them doing things that they are not supposed to do , I just pray and hope parents knows the implications of what they are doing , because they are destroying their children future unknown to them , instead of to shape a child into a bright  future ,you are forcing a teenager to become a breadwinner and adult at an earlier age.

This is a very wrong mentality that most parents have. Some parents usually have in mind because their children hsve better opportunity than they do, their children will be a support for them. The essence of having children is misunderstood,  parents needs to get a better understanding and work on themselves so that they won't rely much on their children in old age for support. People are going through a lot , they cant even afford to take good care of their self.

God says go into the world and multiply and thats exactly what we're doing. We're simply following the instructions in the scriptures and there's offense for it. Children are blessings from God and they ought to be taken good care of. In the world we lived today, everyone now believes children are the ones that will rewrite history and save a generation from poverty. Keep dreaming for those of you that have pictured your child to save you and the family from poverty, retrace your steps because this is life and alot of funny things do happen.

What more hardship can cause? It's very important we follow a rightful path that will see us jubilating and cheering for greater heights in the world. Besides the economy is no longer friendly, both the right and poor are crying out loud because there's insufficient revenue at their disposal.

Children i know are heavenly gifts from god that comes to give joy to every union, But at times turns disastrous because of our inability to meet up to the economic situation on ground. Most people fails to understand that life is not all about giving bath to children without taking good care of them or bring them to fit into the current economic system that has known room for the weak except one is favoured to scale through know matter the circumstances attached. So in other to balance the situation, child bearing should be controlled according to our financial capability so we can give the best to them and not give birth because others do so

This is an act of ignorant, some people know the right thing to do but they will choose to do otherwise. Before you should even think of having children, you must be ready for them physically, socially, psychologically, mentally and must importantly financially. You must be stabilize financially before having kids in other to give your children the best life they deserve including shelter, housing, quality education and proper medical treatment.

 Life is full of lessons, and that is the reason why it's very important for you to be well prepared before getting marriage or having children. From our society we can see how some people's lives turn upside down and how their families are suffering and negatively affected due to ignorance and improper planning. You will see a lot of children on the street as homeless children, some become beggers, thieves, armed robbers, and so on, and this is actually not their fault. It is their parent's fault, because they failed to give them the life they crave. This is as a result of unplanned future, because the children arrived by chance, not by choice.

Children are a source of good fortune but that doesn't mean we have to fully believe that we will eventually become lucky with children.

Sometimes parenting readiness is not just about biology but other aspects such as psychological and of course economic are the most crucial and often misunderstood by most of us.
Sometimes we always hope to have offspring but we are not ready for the responsibilities that we have to face even though it is a form of responsibility that we must have from the beginning. We must be ready to bear the responsibility of parenthood and as much as possible make our children live properly. But some of us parents sometimes do not think far just because we consider this as a gift but do not have any readiness as a form of our responsibility towards children.

Children are a blessing from God alright but, there is something called family planning and birth control. It’s a biological term that plays right into society and design just how many individuals can or should come out of a family which wouldn’t only be beneficial to the family but would in a lot of ways be beneficial to the world population. Not only do you have a stable and functional society but, you would have a family your resources could manage.

Should I say this is how most Middle class individuals think, and in recent times this has been the order of the day for most individuals in my country. There's a way they seem to understand and make conclusions that after you're being trained to some certain levels and I've made some little achievements hitherto, there after you  are entitled to return the favors back to your parents. It's never wrong having children but making sure you provide and  make long-term investment that' they'll eventually take after  would subsidies the ratio of hardships.

That's right, having children should be based on your financial ability, not just because other are doing it. But I disagree with the idea that they will become a disaster if we face economic difficulties. If problems arise, it's the parents' fault, because they decided to have children but weren't fully prepared. You can't blame the child.

Just like when you invest in bitcoin, if you're forced to cut your losses on your investment. It's your fault for not having a good investment plan, you can not blame Bitcoin or consider investing in it the disaster of your life. Because that is your decision.

Having children as a hope for the future is a right everyone has. I know examples of children who lifted their parents out of poverty. They helped their parents move to rich countries and provided them with a wonderful life. That's wonderful and right. But at the same time, I also know examples of the opposite. My neighbor is an old man who assembles televisions, and I know his son is very rich and drives from the capital in an expensive car. This son doesn't give his father a penny and hasn't improved his life in any way, and I don't understand why this is happening. After all, fathers and sons aren't strangers.
Shouldn't love and justice dictate that we share our success with our parents? After all, our parents deserve it for raising us.

Many people want child because they have no child and we are watching the economy of many countries which is at top because of only their population. Population is important factor if we want best economy of the country and children always play important role to be king in the field of business. We are watching many families in which more child are working and their family is not poor and they are doing good. Hard work is must when any team want to be rich and to become rich is very important in society if you want to get respect in all kinds of people. If you have less child then you will try to make them doctor or engineer which is very tough and you will be frustrated because you have to pay fees for that .

our reasoning on this matter is sound and well-expressed. A child is a gift from the Creator, and I concur that they should never be seen as a burden. Rather, every child born into this world carries a divine purpose, reflecting the noble intentions of the One who created all things.

It would be quite irrational for a parent to view their child as a curse or a liability. A responsible and loving parent would certainly never think
of their children in such a negative way.

[Dareo]

Many parents do not intentionally impose responsibility on their children but reality puts them in such a situation. They have children even in the midst of poverty and uncertainty because they find meaning in life through family and children. Children are not just a future asset for them but also an inspiration to live. Yes, this often causes hardship for the child but many people become stronger from this difficult reality, I think the problem is not having children, but when the state and society do not stand by these families then hope and pressure become one.

[TheUltraElite]

The choice of having children is personal, however parents should have a clear cut idea of how they wish to raise their kids. Whether their financial conditions are enough to raise them or they need time, how to distribute the work among both parents and a bit of understanding between the two of them works out wonders.

There are people who do not want to raise kids, I understand their stance but I do consider being able to rear kids is one of the biggest things in our lives, to be able to shape another.

Hence proper planning is important before starting the family.

In my opinion, having children is a responsibility that requires awareness and preparation to bear. It's often expensive for a single person and also impacts the couple's financial stability to support the child. I believe that before starting a family, it's essential to have good stability and mutual support between the man and woman.

I think if people were measuring situation with "can afford of cant afford children", then we wont be having world population of 8.2 billions. Since every parents want only the best for their children, they will have and endless list of "I want to give" and "I want to have" when they were planning a baby. And in the end they will come to decision of not having a baby, because they will never have enough money.

Parents raise their children well so that when they grow old, their children can take care of them. They earn for their children and save for them. Every parent wants their children to grow up in a good environment with good education but many times due to the financial condition of the family, children have to face the difficult reality that they have to earn money at an age when they are supposed to be playing and studying. This is a really difficult reality. From there, there are some children who become famous later in life due to their work skills and creativity.
