Let's break the cycle of struggle
<p>Our generation needs to learn something our parents’ generation may not have learned: don’t have more children than you can afford to raise.</p><p><br/></p><p>A lot of the struggles many of us are facing today started from parents who were also struggling financially but still had many children. They did their best with what they had, but sometimes “doing your best” still isn’t enough to give a child the stability, opportunities and support they need.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now, many of those children are growing up traumatized, desperate to become successful as quickly as possible—not just for themselves, but because they feel responsible for changing their parents’ lives.</p><p><br/></p><p>And the pressure goes both ways. Parents grow old still struggling financially, while their children are expected to “make it” quickly and become the solution to everything.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m not saying people shouldn’t have children. I’m saying we need to be intentional about the number of children we bring into this world.</p><p><br/></p><p>Children shouldn’t have to spend their entire lives trying to recover from the poverty and pressure they were born into.</p><p><br/></p><p>May we be the generation that breaks this cycle—not by abandoning our families, but by building a better foundation for the children we choose to bring into the world. ❤️</p><p>Let’s break the cycle. ❤️</p>
