Don't let Your Kids Deprived from anything

[Judith87403]

Op, I read keenly to see how you stepped in to salvage the situation. I anticipated because you took your time to visit the family, which means your were willing to help.

I was literally thinking that the OP would lend a helping hand if the condition of the family really touched him but he only ended up criticising the man and questioning why he got married when he is not financially stable. Does it mean that people who are rich cannot fall again? If some people tells you their story you will be teary for them because there are a lot of poor people in the society that were once rich and doing well for themselves but life happened to them and due to the fact that they have already gotten a family, things became harder for them and it's not like they are not trying their best.

I live in a densely populated area where there are countless such families. Most families have more children than they can afford to feed and support, resulting in starvation and deprivation. They have never received proper education, nor even proper food and good clothing. This is mainly due to the ignorance of the parents and the father often forces the mother to have more than one child. In this case, it has been seen that most of the children do not receive nutrition from the mother, as a result of which they suffer from malnutrition at an early age. Children who suffer from malnutrition do not grow up to have mental development and quality talent. As a result, they lag behind in education and even in all aspects of life. There are hundreds of incidents like this in my locality.

There is an increased rate of parents inability to Carter for there children and some aged parents also stranded with out help and source of livelihood resulting to begging mostly in Africa, which have raised a lot of concern today.
A family I recently came across was lamenting of hunger, at first I distanced my self from them, but discovered that they where different from the look of things, so I called the woman and asked why she was not working as at that time then she told me she run a big store until she was sick and lift it with her sales girl at her absence stole her goods and money. So when she recovered after some months there was no capatal again to run the business, the husband also lost his job during her sick period. So many things could cause parents not to be able to afford giving there children quality education and proper life style.

Have you ever seen such kind of situations that are heart wrenching..

There are also some people around my house and they have alot of children like 7 to 8 but their financial situation are very bad like children at very young age like 7 to 8 years instead of going to school and getting education they are working in mechanic shop some are working with carpenter and they are earning money for their home to support their families.

So these kind of situations are made when parents give birth to more children without any planning that how will they take responsibility of them and then this also affects their children future. Every child deserves happy childhood. Society should also not judge children because of their financial situation.

This would cause a large problem for them, causing them to have low self esteem and struggle to interact with other children. If they are going to school everyday and know they don’t have the basics that other children have it will cause many problems. Not being able to provide for 7 children is a huge issue. The children shouldn’t be suffering as the parents should have considered if they could take on such a big responsibility. No matter what scenario they will always be the ones to suffer.

I was very disappointed and angry at the same time. I told him that first tell me why you got married when you haven't enough even for your own survival and getting married was also fine. Your wife could have managed some how but why did you produce kids and 7 kids. What a shame. He said it is fate. I said wow and I came back. But the thing that I assume because of their financial crises were.
They didn't have enough to eat and could not fulfill even their basic necessities.
They became weak , Lean , ethically and morally. There attitude was totally different than the other boys.
They use to think too much and the deprivation in there eyes was very clear.
The mother wouldn't be happy with so many kids but I think the father compelled her to do so.

Why are you angry with the married life of another person who already has many children?
As a teacher you have crossed the line of duty because the realm you have to pay attention to is to teach a lesson rather than judging his parents. We know that having many children with minimal income is not so ideal, but that does not mean that we have the right to interfere.

You need to be able to motivate students, simplify a complicated world so that they are more eager to learn. What I do know is that if you are an educated person you should be more aware of the boundaries between educating and judging other people's lives.

Sometimes the societal pressure on young people to build family is the cause of all the financial crisis that families are going through, what you explain is not different from the condition of many parents in my country, a lot of them a low income earners and you can see the poverty telling on them because most of them gave birth to kid's that out power their financial capabilities, you see someone giving birth to 5 kids or some even 6 kids and not that they are rich or could afford basic necessities for the kid's just giving birth uncontrollably.

Those kids didn't ask to be born poor or be heavenly appointed poor parents. They didn't choose the life of no shoes and certainly didn't choose to wait all day long for a common pencil. Their parent made choices and all they do is to wake up everyday into the choices made by the both parent. That undeniable shame that was evident in their eyes is not theirs because it is a collective shame for every single adult who saw through their struggles and chose to do nothing. A child should not have to carry such weight in life.

If most children were to choose the kind of life they want, they would choose the best life for themselves. I think as adults, whenever we come across children from a poor parental background or any kind of background that is not good for children, it is important to show them some love in whatever way we can from our income. Children from poor backgrounds are going through a lot and they feel what they are experiencing, but there is nothing they can do about it.

From the look of the children, it is enough to tell the kind of background they are coming from, and there is no need for him to further ask their father why the children are like that, because no parents who are doing well financially would allow their kids to look unkempt. Whenever kids are looking unkempt, it means things are not okay for the parents.
