It’s our baby for crying out loud and if anything goes wrong, the both of us must take responsibility of it… no excuse. Many times, we talk a lot, we have all the good ideas until we see ourselves in the real situation. I may never ever understand the situation this woman was in, I may never understand what life has been for her or the agreement she had with her husband. You know, we all know what Ronaldo or Messi should have done in the pitch, we all know the formula they should have used to win until we are brought into the pitch to play out that amazing formula. I believe that ideally, the man and the woman owe their children the responsibility of parenting them even if it means that they have to adjust and make some compromises. No, it’s not the woman’s responsibility, it is the man and the woman’s responsibility. Granted, how a woman care for her child is different from how a man will care for the child because women are the natural nurses of their kids but the role of the father requires more than just providing money. Many men aren’t making sacrifices for their family, some of them have money and can always provide… that’s all, no sacrifice! But they expect the woman to do all the sacrifices. Also, there is no rule that says you must have children after marriage. You can decide to wait for as long as you are ready to have children and take care of them. The day my baby comes into this world, I am very sure that my own lifestyle will change too because I’ve got work to do. I can’t live her to my wife alone and at old age I’ll begin to wonder why children are more open to their mothers than their fathers. Again, I don’t know what this said woman’s situation was and being in a society where only a woman is held accountable for what should be a responsibility of both the man and his wife, I’ll rather stick to emphasising the role of the man in parenting. May God grant this woman strength to stay through this sad phase of life where she will be constantly reminded by the society that she is a terrible woman and a terrible mother. I pray that she stay strong and refuse to be defined by the society at least to her own self. #GracefulGeorge https://www.instagram.com/p/Cazk6QasnzM/?utm_medium=tumblr
