Would You Have Your Rapist 's Child ?

B eing raped against one's will is bad enough and to be pregnant from it is a double whammy.

This is a terrible state to be in and it is soul and gut wrenching to decide whether you want to keep the baby or to have an abortion.

She did not asked for it but she became the young arbiter of life not of her own choosing.

At 16, she could not be matured enough to decide the outcome for herself..

For if she had wanted to keep the baby , she will need a lot of moral , mental and financial support of her parents or the state.

Many of the victims would want to terminate it as the law allows such a process.

Have we really understood or study the repercussions of wanting to dispose of the baby ?

No one can force the girl to keep the baby if she does not want. There are a lot of emotional, mental, moral and psychological factors which may affect her decision.

One brave girl decided to keep her baby and only her mother agreed with her while the father and the whole world were against it.

They had to fight against all those stereotype bias and prejudices from that society and she had to seek counsellings to overcome her fears ,disgusts and the nightmares.

In this particular case, she was brought up with a very strong will against abortions . The baby lived because of her convictions and she never regretted having her .

The baby is innocent and what a cute baby , bringing joy to the mother and her mother.

Many young girls got pregnant because of the casual sex attitude in this present young generations and the lack of sex education.

They decided that it was not the right time for them to have a family and as a result , many of them went for the abortion.

I do not want to sound judgmental but I personally believed that whatever happens, we should not have an abortion unless the baby has serious birth defects.

Do you agree with her decision?

A Woman's Place Is In The Home ?

Woman & Home

If you are living in the 50's , you may be forgiven for saying that. Most women at that time were stay at home moms (SAHM) , looking after the babies, the husband and the home.



This was because there were few jobs for women at that time. They were treated like baby making factories and the stereotype female roles they had to play in that kind of society.



They had to leave school early to get married as the prevailing notion that it was a waste of resources to allow women to go for higher studies. They would get married and looked after the babies and quit their jobs anyway, which was the trend at that time. Most of the jobs opened to women at that time were the middle and lower rung hierarchy.



With today's modern,highly educated, liberated and emancipated women , many have given up that role and have left their care taking to nannies or maids and concentrated on their successful careers.



Some of them have difficulties in making up the decision whether to be a SAHM or a supermom . They do not know what are their priorities anymore . If they are successful in their careers , it is even harder for them to decide. It is a turmoil and heartbreaking to choose one over the other. They get mental paralysis and unable to decide.





SAHM


The decision may looked difficult but it all boils down to whether you think of your children first or yourself first. Being a SAHM may be unrewarding as compared to a supermom but it is fulfilling to see him/her grow up to be a better and more rounded person.



Those that come from a SAHM environment are more equipped in life and have a better understanding than those who grow up with their absent moms.



It can be a big struggle and sacrifice to give up your career for your children but the decision to become a SAHM is all about giving your best to the child.You brought the child into this world and you let others take care of her/him. It is just like the animal kingdom. We are a higher life form .



If we bring children into this world and then give up most of our time and resources to career, then we are no better than rabbits . Rabbits are much better than us for they looked after the young till they can fend for themselves.



Rabbits are cute!

Would you like her/him to grow up without any close family relationship ? The children will grow up without any close or just superficial bond with the supermom. When you are old, they may return you the favour..It is Karma.

We know that in the Western society , the children will grow up and leave their parents , while in the Eastern society, the children will still have ties to their parents until they leave this world.



But this filial piety is slowly disappearing as the children get caught up with the attritions of life and simply have no time to be filial to their parents anymore. Some countries had to make it a law for the children to take care of their parents.



Many of today's generations abandoned their poor parents and left to the state to take care of them.It was a heavy burden since they required more medical support.



Sometimes, it is not about the financial plights or to downgrade to a lower standard of living , it is about bonding with our children. You can be surprised that you can have a lovely and rich life while you exist in the average middle class family or the poor. It was more fun and the children will enjoy their childhood .



It is not about living in a bigger house, driving a bigger car and more of all those material things. Those material things cloud out our real purpose in life . We should concentrate on the human developments



Each and every women will have to decide which is more important to her. Working together to build up a home or an empire.



Being a SAHM is also a full time job though it is often unappreciated ,underpaid and unglamourous .

Think of your life when you were small. If you grew up with a supermom, you would know what you need to do to give your children the best in life.
