Irresponsibility! A curse?


Hey guys the weekend is here again and it's TGIF. Many of us are grateful for the weekend obviously.
So I took out time today to put this piece together on Parenting and responsibilities because it's a vital part of life that is been overlooked in our society today. 

The birth of a child they say is the ultimate form of creation and therefore brings joy to both father, mother and the society. With it also comes great responsibility.
So today our focus will be on fatherhood in the societal moral sense.
A man meets a woman, goes through the process of wooing her, they get married and decide to procreate.
He doesn't have any issues bringing an image into the world to take over his name when he departs.
And then suddenly,  along the line he ups and leaves.
Which makes me wonder;
Does a father/husband who abandoned his wife and children to fend for themselves be said to be under a curse or his he just being irresponsible?
What triggers the sudden urge to leave your family to survive on their own? Even though protection and provision is said to be the man's sole duty.
Following the kind of society we live in today, where people believe that there is a spiritual side to everything that happens to man. Majority tends to believe that any man who does not live up to his responsibilities is said to be cursed and can only be prayed out of it. Blame the society for such notions. But don't get me wrong I'm not ruling out the aspect of spiritual beliefs and all that but as a realist I believe that there are one million and one reasons why any man would abandon the responsibilities of his home. Let's take a look at some of the glaring factors.

One of the considering factors is Parental influence. Most husbands feel that they owe more to their parents, who slaved for them. According to some men, they are who/where they are today because of their parents. It's important for a man to take care of his parents but his primary objective is to his immediate family, his wife and kids.

The second considering factor is pure wickedness. Most men are literally wicked and this can also be drawn from the manner at which they were raised or what they went through in getting the money so they feel it should be enjoyed alone in other words "All man to himself". Lol!!!

Thirdly let's talk about mismanagement of resources. Most wives are guilty of this. It's difficult for some women in our society today to manage the little resources given to them,  instead they resort to shopping for irrelevant items and accessories. Of course you won't blame a man if he stops providing financially for his home.

Friends! Friends!! Friends!!!
A popular adage says "Friends make or break" and it can be said to be true in this particular case.
Some men get influenced by friends who also don't care about their family and they take it as a reason to justify their cruel actions towards their family.

While some men spend their money on cheating and taking care of other women outside his marriage others are also living above their means. At the end of the day their poor families are left to pay the price for recklessness.

I could go on and on and on but the point here is, it is the basic responsibility of every man to take care of his family regardless of anything but I also believe the man needs a woman who can understand her husband and know what to look out for and what to do to make things work in the home. As humans we need each other, to work together in order to make our home a safe haven. In doing that our world is made a better place for all.

Well this is as far as I can go, and I do hope I've been able to bring to our notice some of the unending issues in our homes today. Until next time I remain your favorite girl Annie☺

#Cheers.
