Parenting or narcissistic posing?

By Stanley Collymore

It’s not rocket science on how to produce, or not to,

babies whether voluntarily, accidentally, or come

to that even enforcedly; or just as importantly if

you’re the least bit compos mentis, that once

they’re here that as the vulnerable and quite

helpless infants which they conspicuously

are they’re going to need a considerable

amount of continuous care to prepare them physically

and psychologically for the journey ahead of them,

transforming them from the children they are into

adult persons hopefully capable of confronting

and dealing appropriately with life’s several

problems which will certainly and even at

the best of times inescapably beset them.

So why is it then, that so many of you

out there still persist in embarking on

what you’re rather stupidly and quite immaturely

doing and in this absurd process creating totally

hellish nightmares for loads of children every

where whom you’ve irresponsibly brought

into this world and candidly, as it seems

simply don’t really give a damn, or the

least bit care about the vast majority

of them, and who, let us not for a

second forget, didn’t ask to be

and now knowing what they

unmistakably do wouldn’t

have chosen to be here?

Author’s Remarks:

It doesn’t take a great deal of intelligence, if any at all, or any planning that’s worth the term to have children and observational experience, certainly on my part, confirms that those who’re least capable of being parents in any sense of that word are often the ones who produce children on a conveyor belt process and with even less thinking behind their actions than when placing their groceries on an actual conveyor belt check-out system in the supermarket where they buy their groceries.

But why should they care when they know full well that the responsible ones in their community generally and the country specifically will unhappily pick up the financial tab through their taxes for these free loaders lascivious I’m all right Jack or Jill irresponsibility? And the children? Well knowing nothing better they’ll invariably grow up doing the same and so the cycle of immaturity carries on.
