A Nigerian Mental Health Practioner has declared and given her reasons why she feels children are a burden. In her tweet that has since gone viral, she wrote children often slow down careers, and they are very costly and time also consuming. Read her full tweets below; “Children are a burden (I don’t mean this in a bad way, it is what it is). They often slow down careers, are very costly and are very time consuming. It’s sad that some are carelessly brought into the world by people unwilling to make those sacrifices.” “Without a kid you typically have to mainly worry about yourself. With a child, you have to factor them into every decision you make. You have another load to carry, you can’t be as impulsive and frivolous, you shift your way of living to accommodate them.” https://www.torimill.com/2018/03/children-are-a-burden-they-slow-down-careers-and-are-very-time-consuming-lady.html Lalasticlala Mynd44 Dominique 28 Likes 2 Shares

You see Darling, when you are broke in life, things like this becomes a nightmare for you. Have money.. Everything gets easier. Even with kids, some people still survive and are doing better than the single ones out there. 103 Likes 5 Shares |

Her life. Her opinion. Her choice. We need some 'necessary burdens' in life to have a fulfilled life. I LOVE KIDS A LOT!! 111 Likes 3 Shares |

See bashing comments!! This girl is actually saying the bitter truth Especially in this part of the world where the sole reason for most marriages is to start manufacturing children with no adequate plans and amenities to cater for em 212 Likes 10 Shares |

I think she is indirectly trying to say that people should give birth to the number of kids they can take care of. Don't go and be producing children as if na only you God give the command to 'be fruitful and multiply' And she is also right on the second point. My Mum got her master's degree when I was studying for my own first degree... something she would have gotten earlier if she wasn't busy taking care of us. I know men who do 2 jobs because they have kids to take care of. If they didn't have kids, they can live on one job comfortably with their wives. So parenting involves sacrifices. 167 Likes 10 Shares |

Bitter truth!!!! You must not have children if you can't take care of them. There is nothing wrong if one doesn't want kids cos of the burden and added responsibility that comes with it but in this clime we live people see as it disturbing not to want to have kids. 48 Likes 3 Shares |

She's totally right. Many children are brought into this world carelessly with no plans for them. If you are not ready to make a sacrifice to train a child then there's no need having a child! It's a bitter truth you need to adjust the way you live your life when you start having children. This involves both father and mother but in the case where parents are estranged and not together such a child have very slim chances of enjoying life and getting the best from it. 56 Likes 1 Share |

This is only the case when you don't plan for the kids... Children are a blessing and the same way children can "slow down a parent" is the same way one child can lift a generation out of poverty   17 Likes 3 Shares |

She is a mental health practitioner and i think that she is developing mental deficiency that needs serious attention from a real health practitioner... No kid is a burden and children are not burden.. On the contrary children are blessing to the world because all great men and women that have made the world a better place were ones kids.. I was never a burden to my parents.. and i believe that she too was never a burden to her parents and that was why she was not aborted.. People that think children are burden are irresponsible people that failed to plan for their lives.. They are wayward and selfish so they see children as a burden because they live a wayward life filled with bad decisions, they are lazy in even taking care of themselves so they see kids as a burden when their inresponsibilities brings a child out of wedlock.. 36 Likes 2 Shares |

How can she start her tweet with, "children are a burden?".. That's totally wrong from someone with bulgy big popping-out eyes. Anyways, that one na her opinion.. As for me, children 'cannot be a burden'.. I even wonder why she said they are time consuming.. For fucksake, we do have nannies.. If u dont have the time for them, these nannies do.. For her to Say that you have to change your life style to blend their's, shows how immature, incompetent, stupid and dirty her life is.. If you dont keep late nights, drink toomuch, smoke, sleep around or even mismanage your resources or commit unnecessary 'basic' vices,.. then which life did you say you want to change? Someone just play for her that M.I's song.. When she finally fixes her miserable life, she'd know that children aren't burdens.. Instead, na her lifestyle dey bother am.. p 6.16136Mo 2 Likes 1 Share |
