"You ain't grown until you become a parent"

[Jx2]

I know plenty of kids with kids my age, and they're still just as shytty of a person (mind, body, and soul) now just with a couple little recpticals of information and experience dependent on their parent, a hapless soul, for insight and perspective.


Get bored in your 20's and ultimately decide to have kids brehs


So no I disaggree

You should be grown before you have children.

confirm or deny?

I don't agree...

(1) Intellectually mature people are either having children late in life or they are not having children
(2) The majority of people having children are "young and dumb"...Many of them are not even in situations where having children is financially feasible
(3) The Black American community is the Gold Standard of how having children doesn't make any body "grown"...
(4) You need to be in a professional field (medicine, law, engineering, finance) where you are constantly interacting with people who have more power than you, and you are making big decisions, and influencing changes...That kind of responsibility will make you more "grown" even if you are not a parent...
(5) You need to have concerns about society, politics and have a well developed and informed opinion on every big psycho-socio-political agenda and event currently happening today...

If all you care about are Jordan sneakers, PS4, which rapper is hot right now, and light skinned men/women, then you are not "grown" even if you have children...

Therefore, NO...Being a parent doesn't make one "grown" it just means that you are a parent...If you can keep your family together, maintain your family's optimal health and socioeconomic, and provide your children with the best education, then yes, you can considered "grown"...

being grown does not have anything to do with anything monetary.
that is a prostestant, turned welfare mentality.
created here in America, to usher us into poverty and crime.
to further produce a profit in this penal colony.
we call America.

You should be grown before you have children.

I think you mean, "You should be a legal adult before you have children."

 

[FrederickDouglas]

You ain't grown until you stop coming up with arbitrary requirements on what it means to be grown.

 

[HoLLaBaCK]

I'm a father and I don't agree with this at all (deny).

If u have a child at 16 does that make you grown?? Being a parent gives you adult responsibilities but doesn't make u automatically grown.

 

[Cacs R Us]

Abstaining from children when you cannot provide the best for them is an adult decision though.

 

[raw613]

There are more factors to consider than yourself, like choosing the right person to be the other parent for example.

I think you mean, "You should be a legal adult before you have children."

No I mean "grown" as in a full functioning adult. Your legal age says nothing about you as a person.

 

[Dirty_Jerz]

what if you cant have kids? you'll never be grown

 

[concise]

Your legal age says nothing about you as a person.

I agree.

Its definately a fresh perspective on life and gives you insight that other people dont have. Then again, there are people that dont have kids and kill people for a living so whos to say.
