As we get older families and friends always age when is one going to have a child or what are you waiting for?

For me, having children is a personal choice and one should not be forced to do so. If one is not emotionally, mentally or financially ready, let not one force you into having children.

In Jamaica where I’m from people always say “if the child comes it can’t hungry” well from my perspective I dont believe in it. Babies should be planned for. Even though alot of babies are unplanned. Children are blessing but not when you have to struggle to feed them. Not when you have to choose between feeding them and buying something for yourself or paying a bill.

It is important that before your have a child that you are guaranteed to have help and support of friends or family. As this can be very challenging and sends in depression which can lead to harm to oneself or the baby.

This is my first thought.
