WHOLESOMENESS OF PARENTHOOD
Two different pictures of parental situations to highlight the issues. First, let us picture to ourselves the situation and role of a typical married couple in our clime today. In which the woman takes it as the priority in her family life, to manage the home while her husband occupied with the material prosperity and growth of his family. They are blessed with a number of children in many more cases than should be the case today the children are ill-mannered, riotous and rude. Mothers often let them have their way because it is more convenient for her and requires little or no effort. On the other hand, quite often the father is far too busy with things that he considers more important and pay nothing attention to the family front.
In contract, a childless couple, who may have been married for years but no matter how good they are as individuals. they are discriminated against by the wider family and Society especially in african setting where child are seem as the only reason of getting married. Although, they lived quietly and cause no offence.
Many times, they are ever eager to reach out to other people and their children. They give freely not only of the material possessions in some cases even when they have little to give but more importantly, they give also of themselves by so doing the enrich the lives of children of which they are not necessarily the biological parents.
These two examples above-mentioned, explain how and the real meaning of responsible parenthood. After from materials needs, children needs their parents for wellness and good conduct. We can even affect the lives of children positively as if we are their biological parents. Teach them how to avoid bad company and be good at all times.
When parents fail in their responsibilities towards the upbringing of the children. They contribute to the decline of society and its values. Sadly, very few parents are aware of their responsibilities are more than materialism. In these matters, they rob themselves of the blessings that should naturally arise from the reciprocal effect of having discharge the duty of parenthood faithfully.
The concept of fatherhood and motherhood should be embraced instead of Personality. The children's needs and desires should be their top priority and job. It explicitly means that the responsibilities of parents involve taking risks during discharge of this ultimate duties which includes not only to bear offspring but to nurture them wholesomeness.
