Our generation is slowly becoming a generation of single and step parents?

We are exposed to information more than any other generation ever but still ignore it. We are good at judging each other not knowing what happened. What the hell is going on with us?

Some of us were raised by single parents. You will feel like the world is not fair to you but think about your parent. Do you think they planned to raise you alone from the beginning? No parent plans to be a single parent unless they went to a sperm bank. Our actions will haunt us whether we like it or not.

When your partner tells you are expecting alot of things go through your mind. Will you afford the baby? Where will the baby live? Am I ready to be a parent? I believe we know what some action's consequences and need to stop lying to ourselves.

No one ever said raising a child would be easy whether you are alone or not. Why do we run away in most cases? Think for once if it was you who was about to be born, would you want to be raised by one or both parents? You might has your differences but that does not mean we should neglect our children. Remain in your baby's life even if you don't get along with the other parent. You owe him/her that much.

It may happen that your relationship with the other partner can't continue but remain in your child's life. Everything can't be bittersweet for all of you. You don't want your child to resent you. Play fair. No one will judge you unless you give them the platform. Stop living in your own fantasies. Wake up before it is too late

To show your child love does not mean you should buy them expensive gifts. It does not mean you should always give them what they want.

No one will be happy when the child loves the step parents more than their biological ones. How you treat your child contributes to how they view life. You should always be a good role model for them. You decide to leave them after birth and expect them to understand as if that is the only thing they have left. They will cut you off the same way you did to them.

You are busy gloating as if you don't have a child, the thunder that will hit you is still a myth in heaven. Your absence is creating a geostorm inside your child's heart. Some grow up believing they are not good enough to be loved. Be present in your child's life at all times. Those gifts will not feel the gap in their hearts.

Be a parent to your child. No not let your differences with the other parent ruin the relationship you should have with your child. Love and protect them always.
