The Mother's Touch: Healthy or Broken?

Tashi
It may be my immediate but it tragically appears that the mother's touch to an unsettling extent is currently undergoing lean and hard times. Fortunately in all of the cases of a mother's dwindled commitment to her child or children that I have first hand knowledge of the father of the child has stepped up to the plate when marriage or a relationship has fallen asunder and of course mothers who possess quantitatively absolutely no qualifications in either temperament or disposition to even remotely be considered as being even an entry contestant in the mother of the year award is nothing new or unique to this current generation however this behavior seems to be more in vogue and socially acceptable in this present age than in a prior time when this un-motherly sentiment would be a source of embarrassment. So what exactly is so sinister about a woman not wanting the responsibilities of raising children? Nothing and with the human population of the earth increasing at its current pace this desire of woman is noble and competent.

In the United States there is no valid excuse for an unwanted pregnancy and that is the station for the vast majority of the earth nations in this day and with the availability of contraceptives no decision point need be reached where abortion has to be considered as an option. It may be all within my immediate but a count by increasing numbers of women do not want the responsibilities and the restrictions of raising they're child or children and it can be rightfully stated that men bear a reasonable amount of accountability in the processes of child conception however it is my opinion that a woman is far more accountable for her own personal wellbeing than a man is for her because by tradition regardless of culture the burden of the child falls upon the shoulders of the mother and knowing this to be an almost certainty it behooves the woman to appropriately arm herself before laying onto her back and spreading her legs, or any other position she so chooses, to engage in the act of sexual intercourse.

Too many children are now being birthed in horse drawn wagons and then tossed into the prevailing winds by women who have haphazardly leaped into the natural drive of sexual lust while thumbing their noses at the biological consequences that has an even chance of occurring as a result of this type of personal intimacy and when knowledge gives way to physical manifestation and labor has brought forth wages then the unrestrained and the not prepared plots to regain that personal freedom that a heated moment has forever eliminated. It all may be well within my immediate but carelessness does not intellectually instill caution and disciplined preparedness as the number of unwanted children mushrooms from the same womb that again seeks escape from the responsibilities of child rearing as if nothing at all was mentally absorbed by the previous exploit.

The mother's touch has nothing whatsoever to do with child birth because human biology does not necessarily work hand in hand with human consciousness and there is no set rule that suggests that the two cannot be in conflict, however there is such an object as self-control and human awareness that can effectively manage a few of the basic biological urges by using the available tools that are accessible for use. No child should have to go thru the emotional pain of feeling that he or she is an unwanted burden but given human nature there is no way that some child some where will not be sadden and confused by this trauma inflicted upon them by one or by both parents regardless of sex. One act of carelessness is a mistake but two acts of carelessness of the same specific nature is a personal comment concerning ones maturity and intellect and any more than two acts of this self same type of carelessness may be grounds for preventative medical treatment with or without personal consent in order to avoid more sorrow and alienation felt by a bewildered child.

    Okay Herbert, you have struck a chord with me. It is NOT the woman's responsibility to prevent pregnancy. I love how men seem to think that a woman's natural right to enjoy sex is secondary to a man's. Virtually what you are saying is that men are free to have sex with whomever they wish and all of their partners should make sure they are on birth control and ensure that it is working. Although you did mention that men have an equal role, you proceed to counsel women on how to avoid getting pregnant if they are not ready to have a child. Attitudes like yours may be the cause of the decline in motherly affections because women who are treated as toys generally do not take easily to the role of a mother. And if more men would "step up to the plate" for the mother and not just the child, there would be fewer instances of women relinquishing their parental rights.
