Parenting is a selfless journey and nothing less than a full-time job. Many accounts, over the years, tell us that not everybody who takes up the job really qualifies for it.
It goes without saying that parents leave a profound impact on their children’s lives, who gradually pick up many of their habits and behaviours. The environment parents inculcate in the house, the relationship they share with one another, manifests itself in their adulthood in various forms. A healthy relationship between parents can impact the way their kid approaches relationships in later years, and the opposite is also true. There are cases where unresolved childhood issues hinder a child’s ability to build meaningful long-term relationships.
People online are sharing their honest and unpopular opinions about parenting that could land them in difficult spots, but they are important and worth noting.
Parenting is not easy. And as much as our world like to rub it in our faces, it’s a choice. The worst thing you can do is have a child and scar them for life with neglect and lack of proper love, care, and affection. And please note that having a child cannot magically heal your wounds. You cannot put that baggage on a little soul.
