Someone
recently posted on my Facebook page a t-shirt that read, “I hate my baby’s
daddy… but you chose him.” At the time, this quote read to be funny, but it
rings so true and has so many consequences. Ladies, when you wake up in the
morning, you have the freedom to choose the outlook of your future, so choose
wisely. The decisions you decide to act upon or not act upon is either an
addition or a subtraction from your future. As young women, we often tell
ourselves that, “I only live once,” so why not go and live it up? However, our
choices have domino effects that not only impact us, but affect everyone in our
lives, including our future children.
You are
granted with the opportunity to choose the father of your child – this is a BIG
responsibility. So the next time you choose to roll around in the sack, ask
yourself, “If I get pregnant, can I see this man being the father of my child?
Will he be present in my child’s life? Does he set good examples? Is he someone
I would want raising my children? Will he help support my children emotionally,
mentally, spiritually, and financially?”
There are so many children that are suffering dire consequences behind
the choices their parents made.
Remember,
children repeat the same examples that are set before them. You cannot set
expectations for your children to live up to when you didn’t live out the
examples before them.
XOXO,
