'The Privilege of Parenting'

Hi5!

WHAT ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS and CRITERIA FOR BECOMING A PARENT?

DOES ANYONE TRULY DESERVE or EARN THE RIGHT TO BE A PARENT?
(or)
IS PARENTING A PRIVILEGE?

son's fav: Are We Done Yet?

We have never and will never view raising a child as a hardship, inconvenience or right of adulthood.

We have never and will never think or refer to our 5 year old as 'a problematic', 'challenging', 'heart-breaking', 'oh, you poor thing' and other derogatory, self-deprecating terms.

Just because our son lives on the Autism Spectrum and is managing sensory processing/integration, as well as, dietary conditions, does not reflect the totality of his existence.

"Children are God's heritage and the fruit of the womb a reward. Psalms 127"

Have a great Sunday and enjoy Parenthood.

Love & God Bless,
Dadda & Moomie
