I was riding the NEL, returning from gym in the afternoon, when this little boy caught my attention. In fact, I think all the commuters in that carriage noticed him.
He was with his mom, grandmom and 3 elder siblings. What's so 'special' about him is that he is a complete tyrant. My impression of him deteriorated as time passed by. He was bossing his siblings and throwing tantrums at his mom. Basically, making a fool of himself and his mom in public. At that instance, it just dawned on me why lots of young couples refuse to have children.
Most of the time, I have a liking for children but this brat really irritated the hell out of me (f.y.i., his mom was sitting right beside me). He should really thanked my iPod for saving his life. Alright, my tolerance level for ugly and mischievous children are low, it will hit the bottom pit if they are chinese chinese. It is an unexplainable bias and I doubt that it will change. Ha!
I always have this thought that couple should never have children if they fall under one of these 2 following categories:
1. Do not have enough cash flow.
2. Do not have the time to educate them.
I reckon that some religious oppose the act of abortion. However, is it more of a suffering to see your flesh and blood suffer? I have this belief that parents ought to provide the best for their children - be it material or non-material needs. It gets me really pissed whenever I see a lowly income family have so many children. Therefore, do not have children if you cannot afford it.
