An Unappreciated Gift

Can someone please help me understand how people are blessed with children and they don't like them? Tell me how you can have a child who is a good person not perfect person, but a good person and find fault in all they say and do? I cannot understand for the life of me why a parent would choose to stay on the battlefield with their child. Your child for Heaven sakes!

I swear before God that when I am blessed with children, I will love them unconditionally. I will be woman enough to admit when I am wrong. I will speak life and not death into them. I will respect them as a human being and talk to them as such. I will seek God about all matters that concern my children as well as parenting. I will work to be the best parent that I can be.

I dunno if we'll ever understand it. You're children are a part of you!!! They are a gift from God. I dunno how you can't like that. If you don't like your children then you probably don't like yourself.


good post!

I agree with what 12kyle said.

i totally agree with you. i was mentally and physically abused as a child and i promised myself when i was ready to have kids that i would not handle them like trash.

i dont even understand why you even would have kids to treat them any other way but good.

its funny because those are the ones who able to have kids. while the good ones try for years and years without being able to have any.

anywho mami, this is a good post.

i hope you have a wonderful weekend

I don't get it either, I mean you're fortunate to give life yet you treat that half of "YOU" like nothing. I have to agree also with what 12kyle mentioned, when you stoop so low to disrespect, abuse, neglect your child its because you hate yourself.Which sometimes I can't wrap my mind around why God blesses these indivdiuals so. It just breaks my heart~

It amazes me as well. I know parenthood is one of the hardest jobs since there are no "vacations" or "days off".

But I always thought it was funny how people don't realize there are others who would almost kill for the children they take for granted.

But then again, it is like that in many different aspects of life.

I see this all the time and I ask the same question,

I just thank god each and everyday for the patient that I am blessed with. :)

This is something i will never be able to understand, just like i can't understand the ones that harm their babies. My heart cries out for them...i love my so much, gurl, please, we just got to pray for these folks.

some people do not have kids because they wanted them at that particular time.

nowadays people HAVE kids they do not want either because they don't believe in abortion, believe in abortion but do not want the stigma of a "baby killer" or they are looking for a tax break.

sad but true.

I never battled with my father. He just didn't bother at all. I would always tell myself, I'm going to be a great father because I would never put my kids through what my father put me through.

I don't understand it myself...definitely saddens me!

that is not something to understand. people who hurt (whether physically, mentally or emotionally) children are of some other evilness that i don't think can be comprehended by those who truly appreciate children for the gift they are.

me and my mum were in tears last week reading about two severe abuse cases against kids ages 3 & 5. the 3 y/o died at the hands of his abusers and the 5 y/o is clinging to life. it breaks my heart to know that adults actually carried out these things while looking in the eyes of an innocent child...no matter WHAT they may have done, no child should have to endure such. topics like this get me riled up...i know vengeance is not mine, but those people better be glad we are not in the medievel times cuz i would want to see them suffer the way they made the kids suffer.

This is a great question...I just wish I knew the answer.

If anything...children should be the "most" appreciated gift in our lives...but of course there are those that choose to ignore their blessings or treat them more like animals rather than the most meaningful part of themselves. It really turns my stomach. I currently have no children, but if and when God blesses me with children, I will definitely love them unconditionally, and do my best to be there for all there wants and needs. I will be there to listen and encourage, and give them that little extra push when it all seems to fall down. That is the joy of being a parent, and I want my child to grow up feeling as if it is a joy to be my child...Thank you for sharing...
