The kinds of people that decide to not have kids are almost certainly more qualified than those who simply go ahead and do.
Which sucks, because those who are having children are not the ones who understand what it actually takes to raise children.
Life is brought into this world, adoption is never contemplated, by people who haven’t the skill to actually raise young children or may not even want to raise the life they created. Instead, they treat them like pets, if that. I suspect that this is behind many a bizarre name bestowed upon children.
They have no interest in meeting the emotional needs of their children, which are sundry, and hand them a device to make them shut up. Is there any wonder where the “iPad kid” comes from? When a child is told to shut up and distract themselves with a device, and then that child, who is yet to develop most of their coping strategies, is deprived of a source of stimulation, that which in tragedy has raised them more than their own parents? Why do we project names unto those who bear no deed beside existence?
Will it be any wonder where the least adjusted among us will come from? From those who were neglected and all but abandoned by those who wanted a face to look at but had no interest in giving that life behind it the care it needed.
