They say Children are a blessing because they are thinking of what the children are coming to do for them – Nigerian lady says people have kids for the wrong reasons

A Nigerian lady has expressed her disgust over the statement “Children are a blessing”. According to her, it is from a place of selfishness. She shared that people say this because they are thinking of what the children are coming to do for them.

She further added that folks don’t think about how they will be a blessing to these kids. They only think about how these kids are only going to be a blessing to them

In a video shared online, the lady said;

‘’The way I hate that saying ‘’Children are a blessing’. One reason why I hate that saying is because it is gotten from a place of selfishness. They say Children are a blessing because they are thinking of what the children are coming to do for them. For example, people who birth children because they need these children to take care of them in old age, people who birth children with the intention they need them to take care of the other children they intend to birth and lets not forget those that birth children for their legacy and there are people who birth children because they are lonely.

Like I said, kids are a blessing is a saying gotten from a selfish place because folks don’t think about how they will be a blessing to these kids. They only think about how these kids are only going to be a blessing to them.

It is a very disingenuous saying as well because deep down these people do not think all children are a blessing. They only think a child is a blessing when are the ones that have the child” she said
