No Kidding!!

I don’t think parenting is an instinct. It’s the biggest commitment and responsibility one can take upon themselves.

But the question is why will someone take nine months of having a life in the womb, then cleaning after their pooping & burping, followed by incessant running behind, relentless preaching & teaching and everlasting worrying & botheration.

Being a parent makes you worry about their health, then their company of friends, then their good education, then their job & success and then their relations & how you will fit in them.

I do not understand the urge to proliferate. Neither everyone have the kind of genes which if not taken to next generation will cause any serious loss to the world nor is everyone carved out to be a great parent. If the later was not true, we would have seen far less number of squealing and misbehaving children at restaurants, airports, parties and malls.

I also do not think that all “little human’s” are cute and adorable because of their size. Some of them are ill-mannered, ill-tempered and outright ugly. Why is it so difficult to call them as they are? After all they are not travel-size-toiletries for their mere small size will make them convenient and pretty…. then why the unspoken rule to go “aaaaawwwww” on facebook when your friends publish the pictures of their kids?

I strongly believe that if the nature has not posed the trap of ‘biological clock’ to haste women in imprudent decisions of parenthood, most would have attained the maturity to skip it completely.

Oh yes!! This is just a thought. There may be rewards of parenthood which I do not understand, after all sleep, control-of-ones-life and peace of mind are overrated. :)
