i read this this morning but had to go out before i could post. When i first read this i was reminded of a story in a parenting mag (think it was treasures) where a man was talking about how fab his wife was becasue even tho she had a terminal illness she wanted kids so desperately and he was commending her for that. She went and got pregnant and had twin girls, and died when they were about four years old. I was horrified when i read this and couldnt believe how selfish she was. I have heard lots of people - women especially - who have had a hard time coping with not having a mother and i dont know why you would choose to abandon your kids. |
My friend did exactly this but her daughter is such an awesome kid. She's extremely happy and fun.
Lots of kids grow up without one or both parents.
I would think that people who know they aren't going to have a long life and want to have children aren't stupid and will know that they will need to come up with a plan of what will happen when they are gone which is exactly what my friend did. Her daughter is raised by her sister and her partner and like I said her daughter is really happy, loved and cared for.
Not many people know how long they are going to live.. I for example could die tomorrow or in 60 years time. I still have to think about what will happen to Daniel when I'm gone and he's not old enough to fend for himself type thing and its the same with those who do have some idea of how long their life will be except they really need to make more concrete plans.
Plenty of kids out there grow up without both biological parents, or just one and the great majority are well rounded people. Single parents do this all the time. |
i dont know how many time i have heard people say, in real life and on boards, that they wished that their mother had been around to see their grandkids and to help them and they hadnt realised how much they would want them at the pont in their lives when they too became parents. ... so maybe we should ask the kids when they are older and see what they say then.
Right to have a child
