having kids

 

            
             Having children is not easy, yet it is probably one of the most rewarding and wonderful experiences on this earth. However, people sometimes don't realize how much children affect your life, both positively and negatively. People are jumping into conception without thinking of the consequences. And what are the consequences you must consider? Three things to consider before conceiving children are the burden financially, the stress, and the disintegration of your social life.
             The first thing to consider before bringing a child into the world is your burden financially. Kids aren't free to make or maintain. Initially, if you are new at being pregnant, then you have prenatal care and classes to consider. These classes are expensive enough, and then you have to buy a new wardrobe for yourself and the baby. Secondly, the hospital bills for the birth are phenomenal for the amount of time actually spent at the hospital. But these things aren't the worst. After the child is born, you have to buy all the baby things so you can care for, transport, and nourish the baby. And if you think that's bad, wait 2 years when the baby goes full infant. Then you have to buy all new clothes, toys, food and so on, to fit his or her new age. After that, the child will begin to speak. This means that they can actually ask you for money and still expect the necessities to be taken care of. I won't even go into the teenage years and on into college. Knowing this, you must plan a conception so that you are financially stable to the point that you can take care of the child and still have enough for entertainment and emergencies.
             Secondly, while thinking about whether or not to have a child, think about the stress to entail. During pregnancy, hormones in the female body give her extreme mood swings giving both partners unnecessary stress. However, the stress is just beginning. After pregnancy, you have the stress of keeping your baby safe and happy; which isn't an easy job.
