If having kids makes one responsible, selfless and hardworking, how come we still have so many deadbeat, lazy and irresponsible parents out there? Why didn't having kids make them better people, and why are the kids suffering a life they didn't ask for?

I’m talking about my own belief and experience. The ones you are referring to are just irresponsible people. They’re bad because they don’t really love their family.
Can I ask you something, do you have children already? If the answer is no then I don’t think you can relate.

A very flawed way of looking at life. Kids are not toys; they're not houses that we give as gifts. They are human beings who will be brought into a cruel world, and they will have no choice but to live through it. They will have to come into this world and face the challenges of the world for the rest of their lives, so the least the parents can do is to make sure they make things better. Shower the kid with so much love, make sure he has everything he needs to make life easy for him, and make sure the child is very well equipped in all aspects of life to handle this life on his own. If you can't do that, then don't have a kid, no matter what your God says.

Sorry but i don't get your response relevant to my comment.

People give too much authority to religious books.

It’s a teaching that before the law of the land there is the law of God. If you believe in God then you will agree with me that His law should come first above any other law.

You say this as if it takes much to create kids, everybody can be a parent, but only few parents live upto parental duties — i.e, giving nurture, care and education.

I’m talking about being a good parent, those bad parents I really can’t relate to them. Same as what I said above, you can only relate if you’re happy with your married life and you have kids that you love and who love you back.

It’s hard to explain because being a parent our love is unconditional. And love is very important, it’s the only thing that can make the world at peace. When there is love it reflects even on the economy, people follow the law, corruption won’t exist, everyone cares for each other and leaders will think about the good of the people instead of their own interest.
