What reason do you want to have children?

I used to want to have a baby for 30 years.

But this year, at the age of 29, that idea disappeared.

🚩 what makes you think is that raising cats

- The cost. Let's do the calculations. Raising a child is very high.

* * Where to pay for milk, supplies, vaccines, medical expenses, sundry illness * *

- Expectations. We think we have expectations in him in which direction he will grow.

- Our personal time for it to disappear.

- Love. - Cause suffering.

Even though we only have cats out of the house, we always have to turn on the camera to see what they're doing, and if we have children, how can we keep our minds from being distressed when we're apart?

And many other factors

But in general, it's basically "money."

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ตรงของผมที่เลือกเลี้ยงแมวแทนการมีลูก ทำให้ผมได้เรียนรู้ถึงข้อคิดหลายอย่างเกี่ยวกับการดูแลชีวิตอีกหนึ่งชีวิตที่ต้องพึ่งพาเรา แม้ว่าจะเป็นแค่สัตว์เลี้ยง แต่ก็ต้องใช้เวลา เงิน และความทุ่มเทไม่น้อยกว่าการเลี้ยงเด็กเลยทีเดียว คำนวณค่าใช้จ่าย เช่น ค่านม ค่าวัคซีน ค่ารักษาพยาบาล และของใช้จิปาถะต่างๆ สำหรับเด็กนั้นมักสูงมากกว่าค่าใช้จ่ายสำหรับแมวหลายเท่า ซึ่งทำให้ผมตระหนักว่าในฐานะผู้ใหญ่ การมีลูกไม่ได้เป็นแค่ความรักและความสุขเท่านั้น แต่ยังหมายถึงความรับผิดชอบทางการเงินและเวลาอย่างมหาศาล นอกจากนี้ ความคาดหวังที่เรามีต่อลูก เช่น อยากให้เติบโตไปในทางที่ดี ประสบความสำเร็จ หรือมีคุณธรรม ย่อมทำให้เกิดแรงกดดันและความกังวลใจตามมา ในขณะที่ตอนดูแลแมว หากแมวเจ็บป่วยหรือมีพฤติกรรมที่ไม่คาดฝัน ก็ต้องปรับตัวและเรียนรู้ต่อเนื่อง แต่ความกังวลที่มีนั้นก็ยังน้อยกว่าการเลี้ยงเด็ก ประเด็นเรื่องเวลาส่วนตัวก็สำคัญมาก เพราะเมื่อมีลูก เวลาของตัวเองแทบจะหมดไป เดินทางไปไหน ก็ต้องคิดถึงลูกตลอดเวลา แม้แต่ตอนที่ไปทำงานหรือออกนอกบ้าน ก็ต้องคอยติดตามผ่านกล้องหรือคนดูแล ซึ่งนี่เองทำให้ผมคิดหนักว่าตัวเองพร้อมหรือไม่กับการเสียสละเวลานั้น สิ่งที่ยิ่งทำให้ผมต้องคิดให้หนักคือ ความรักที่อาจกลายเป็นความทุกข์ เมื่อเราห่วงใยและผูกพันมากเกินไปในบางครั้งก็ทำให้เกิดความวิตกกังวล โดยเฉพาะเมื่อห่างกัน เช่นเดียวกับที่เห็นได้จากการเลี้ยงแมวที่แม้จะเป็นสัตว์เลี้ยง แต่ก็ยังทำให้ผมรู้สึกกังวลเวลาต้องไประยะหนึ่ง ทั้งหมดนี้ทำให้ผมสรุปได้ว่า การมีลูกไม่ใช่เรื่องง่ายโดยเฉพาะในเวลาที่เศรษฐกิจไม่แน่นอน จึงต้องคิดให้ถี่ถ้วนและพร้อมรับความเปลี่ยนแปลงอย่างรอบด้าน หลายคนอาจเลือกมีลูกในช่วงอายุที่ต่างกันหรือเงื่อนไขชีวิตที่แตกต่างกันไป แต่การเข้าใจถึงความรับผิดชอบและค่าใช้จ่ายจริงๆ จะช่วยให้ตัดสินใจได้ดีขึ้น สำหรับใครที่กำลังคิดหนักในเรื่องมีลูก หรือกำลังหาทางเลือกระหว่างเลี้ยงสัตว์เลี้ยงกับมีลูก ลองพิจารณาประสบการณ์จริงแบบนี้ดูนะครับ มันช่วยให้เห็นภาพชัดเจนขึ้นว่าแต่ละทางเลือกมีข้อดีข้อเสียอย่างไร และสุดท้ายคือการทำใจให้พร้อมและตัดสินใจบนพื้นฐานของความเป็นจริงและความสุขของตัวเองจริงๆ

Prayers to pray over your children
One thing Ima do as a lover of Jesus is understand the power he gave us through prayer and one thing ima do as a mama is pray over my babies WITHOUT CEASING. God showed me the power of prayer pretty early on in my walk with Christ but I know everyone’s journey is so different and that’s beautiful.

The image is a title slide for "Positive Discipline Strategies For Young Children (0-6 YEARS OLD)" by The Inspired Teacher, stating these are strategies every parent and educator should know, set against a watercolor-like background.
This slide presents "Tip #1: Set Clear Expectations" for young children. It advises using simple language like "We use gentle hands" and repeating expectations before transitions, emphasizing telling children what to do rather than what not to do.
This slide details "Tip #2: Focus on Connection First." It suggests connecting with a child before correcting behavior by getting to their level, making eye contact, and offering help, as regulated adults lead to regulated children.
