What title says,
unless one is well off himself one should not be having kids, this is my opinion.
What about you?
I believe in God, and God said, “go forth and multiply,” so for me it’s just right to have kids.
Having children brings a different kind of happiness. It’s not just about yourself anymore, you become more selfless, you work harder, and you learn to be more responsible because you want to provide and prepare a future for them.
And honestly, we all owe it to our parents too. They chose to have kids, and that’s why we’re even here in this world. Same with you, you’re only here because your parents believed in having children.
That’s a fair way to look at it because even if there’s a biblical command to go forth and multiply the reality is that raising a family requires more than just faith it also takes resources stability and readiness.
Children need food shelter education healthcare and emotional support and those things come with responsibilities that go far beyond the decision to simply have them. In today’s world the economic side of raising a family can’t be ignored many people struggle with the cost of living and bringing children into that situation without preparation can lead to hardship for both the parents and the children faith can guide values and give strength but it won’t replace the need for practical planning.
It’s not about rejecting the idea of having kids but about making sure that when the time comes parents are truly ready mentally emotionally and financially that way children can grow up in a stable environment rather than one filled with struggles that could have been avoided with careful thought and preparation.
