parenthood

And another parental advice thingy. About whether mentally challenged parents should be allowed to raise children. Boy, am I glad I don't have to take decisions like that. The writer of the column leaves no room for doubt, she speaks of a right to parenthood. Wow, she lost me there, I really don't think parenthood is a right. But taking away babies is gruesome, totally gruesome. It is hard, who are you doing a favor, the parents or the child. I am currently addicted to old episodes of this TV show. I never used to watch it, so I won't run out any time soon. All those children in search of their birth parents, it is heart breaking. Mothers forced to give away their children because of poverty, or moral standards. Mothers who have often never really recovered, gruesome, gruesome. Mental handicaps are of course a different chapter, and what about drug addiction. I am really glad I don't have to take decisions like that.
