Re: Fathers who aren’t ready for parenthood
^ He is not saying that they should never have kids or that they get married only for physical attraction. His point is that it would be wise to wait until one is mentally, emotionally, and financially ready. I find it very difficult to believe that people are read to take on such a responsibility only a couple months after getting married. Simply being married does not make one mentally, emotionally, and financially prepared to care for a child. Also, while having children many be the next step after marriage, there are definitely precautions people can to prevent to delay this if they are not yet ready.
No. The issue arises when women know that their husband is not prepared to be a father yet insist on having a child because of the ridiculous old wives’ tale that “He is not ready for a child? Oh, he’ll be ready when the child is born.”
