Parents Should Be Required to Get a License Before Having Kids
This may be farfetched. But, I really think that maybe the time has come that parents be licensed before having kids. Everyday we see evidence of abject stupidity on the part of parents in the care of their children. It is as if they have no clue. I personally feel that children have become part of a “having it all syndrome”. You know: the big house, two cars, high paying jobs, fitness club memberships, a cruise at least once a year. Somewhere in this mix, the child has a place. And with the child, the aspiring couple has it all. The child is just another part of the status symbol of the American family. Couples these days don’t raise their kids, day care does. The parents are so busy keeping up with the Joneses that less and less time is spent nurturing baby. Parents leave baby in hot cars. Baby falls down stairs because mom forgot to put the child safety gate up. There are numerous cases of parents just not paying attention to their children. If you want to have it all, please don’t have a child until you reach your goal. The child you save may be your own.
