Gud a.m.! I’m Pregnant.

When I got my sister’s message “Gud Am, I’m Pregnant” I don’t know if the short message service made it terse or the statement was purposely made as it was as to dismiss a rejoinder of discussing matters of having another baby.

It’s a fact that babies are the source of mother’s sheer unadulterated joy. Home is filled with music of their laughters, giggles, whinings and tantrums.  They made us laugh and be young at heart.

There was a saying “If you love someone, set it free. If it comes back, It is yours. If it doesn’t, It never was meant to be. ” Such adage made me realize that even though we are in the hub of a spinning world constantly changing and that we are uncapable of having something within our reach for long time and that everything slips off eventually.  Obliviously, We have something that even if we send them away, they’re still ours. They can never be separated from us beyond time, distance or even life after death. They are our kids.  Whatever happens they are Ours. That’s how having babies made things wonderful.

However, Everything takes two to tango. When babies give us joy. We should give them love and security in return. I wonder how Nadya Suleman took charge of her motherhood. Does she ever shudder upon thinking how will her 14 children live considering she’s a single mom with no work at all?  A friend once asked me, what are my fears? I answered brosquely, “foremost, not having a job…”  It’s so HUMILIATING begging other people’s help, asking donations and so you have something to put on your kid’s mouth. Im appalled with this Octo Mom’s callous face. She’s even got her children as her livelihood! This is a sly scheme of benefits to herself at the expense of her children. She has made her kids life a circus to be watched and preyed by media. Be tagged as Mom requires ton of responsibilities. It doesn’t end just by bringing babies to life but for them to live life as well.

There’s nothing wrong with loving & wanting children but it’s unconscionable to INTENTIONALLY bring children, albeit 1 or 14, into the world when you don’t have the financial, physical & emotional resources to adequately provide for them. Though I am guilty of not providing my kids a family they can call their own, I’m vindicated knowing that their welfare is safe and secured with me alone.

Mothers are real warriors indeed.  To fight for their kids welfare till their breath’s end. They shouldn’t be utilized  as pawn of a sly scheme or bait for big fishes to snap. I wonder what can we do to awake Nadya Suleman on her selfish delusional state.

As for my sis, Congratulations for another bundle of joy comin! :) and for the record, it’s not me who’s pregnant. No, Not now ,yet. :)
