I’m not married yet.
I don’t even know when I will. Since I’m not married of course I’ve never given
a birth to a precious gift called children. So here I am living my life as a
free-spirited woman looking for what’s more to life. Nevertheless I know how it
feels to be a parent. Well my job allows me to have this role for a
while. Tiring? Exhausting to be
precise. Stressful? Couldn’t agree more especially when they’re fighting, nagging,
and crying. Fun? What’s more fun than seeing their smiles, laughs, and their sparkling
eyes when they play, share their stories, or learn with you. They are
everything everyone could wish for.
However I couldn’t
stop wondering. Why are you having a child if you can’t keep him safe? Why are
you letting your dearest 2-year old son drink that bloody liquor you enjoy with
your friends in the middle of the night? Why are you making him drunk when you
can always read him goodnight stories, invite him to have an adventure to a
neverland, sing a lullaby, or kiss him a goodnight? Don’t tell me you love him
if the only thing you do to him is destroying him? How can you call yourself a
parent? How dare you call yourself a mother, a father?
It seems to me your unthinkable
action is accepted by this society. Such a shame. I told my friend about this
and she said, ‘there are a lot of people like that living in this city’. It left
me speechless. When there are thousands of women could only dream of having a
baby, you do this? How come people are okay with it?
To all sisters,
women, mothers, brothers, fathers, and men who read this post, please if you
have a child or children in your family raise them well. Treat them right.
Nurture them. Love them wholeheartedly. Give the best parenting for them. Don’t
let your selfish act destroy them. They are just kids. They deserve better.
Your children are your reflection. Whatever you do they’ll copy it. Can you
imagine years from now your children tell you that their bad behavior actually
comes from you? They blame you for that? What would you feel? It’d definitely
break my heart if it happened to me. I wasn’t a good mom. I didn’t raise them
well. I won’t let it happen. Never.

P.s. this post is
made in response to a family who get drunk almost every week in front of their
2-year old son. Worst they even made their son drink that liquor until he was
drunk.
