Parenting the parent
I agree with the idea of having couples or parent certified in order to have kids. With being said and done our teen pregnancy population will degrease and also child abuse will decrease as well. However, I don’t agree with the statement that couples should be married in order to have children, because there are people in America and all over the world that prefer to alone and not have a significant other or partner for various reasons. So does that mean that they can’t have their own family? Not to mention that there are many single parents out there.
of course there are going to be some loop holes that may or may not work out in some fashion. However, being single and trying to raise a child can be a little difficult, not just for the parent but the child as well. Part of the problem in our society is that we all are too content with single parenthood. wanting a child as a single parent, in my opinion is a selffish act.
ReplyDeleteThere are many parents that are single parents due to situations. It is very hard as a single parent to raise children, but it is the other parent who needs to stand up for their responsibilities. Children whom parents don’t get along and constantly fight will grow up to have just as many problems as a child with one parent if the parent does not create a balance in rewards and punishment. A certification will not guarantee that those parents will raise the children right. With that I say that it starts at home regardless to if there is one or two parents.
