Why do people have children if they are really not ready for them? I dont understand it. I know this one couple that has a daughter that is one but they work all the time and on weekends pawn her off on some one so they can do they things they want to. Im sorry but the child is more important than you having fun. When you have a child you have to put them 1st no matter what. I know everyone needs time to do things for them but what if it is to much? I may be get out of the house one a month to go out with friends....that's MAYBE! I dont mind it at all because I know when my child is with me that there is no better place for her. I know she is well taken care of, not missed treated, and most of the time havin fun! Why doesnt every parent want that for their child?? Why do they want someone to have her most of the time?
I just do get it sometimes. There are people out there that would be great parents but are unable to have children then I see all these ppl about my age or young that "pawn" thier baby on someone else. All that baby really needs is the love of thier parent but most of the time they get nothing. it just saddends me that parent do not care for their child like they are supposed to. I know it gets hard at times but that just being a parent.
It's always sad when people who don't want children do it anyway; perhaps the child would be better off elsewhere.

I totally agree. If you aren't ready to have a child, don't do it. Don't get pregnant, or go for adoption. Seriously. People just don't get it sometimes that it is someone else's life they are dealing with.

I know people like that as well. My ex best friend's mom and step dad were like that. They have a son, who is about 5 now. He is old enough to start kindergarten, but he couldn't start because they didn't have enough money to buy him clothes and supplies. Do you want to know why? Because they are constantly spending money on things they don't need: alcohol, cigarettes, bowling practically every night to get drunk, etc. Where would they put their son when they went out bowling? They would pawn him off to my ex best friend's grandma or sister. The grandma doesn't have to do much, so it wasn't as bad, but her sister was college student and had better things to worry about, like her schooling. There were even times when my ex best friend couldn't hang out with me on weekends because she had to baby-sit. So i completely agree. It isn't other people's responsibility to take care of their kids, its their own. After all, they are the ones that made the kid to begin with.
I have two kids of my own and they are with me constantly. I even take them to school with me. My friend however pawns her kids off on me whenever she can. Oh I have to go to the drags, oh I want to go watch a movie, oh I am going to my friends house. Ever chance she gets she asks me to watch her babies. 6months and 2 years. that is sad I feel like they are my own kids now. I have watched them both since they were 3 days old. Wow to think about it I think that I know more about her kids then she ever will. Weird huh.
