In a normal world babies are all over the place. Everyone wants a baby because “They’re so cute” or because “I wanna watch them grow up”. But the problem with that is that babies come with a lot of responsibility. You’ll have to feed it and change it, you’ll have to work a lot, and you’ll have to save up for college.

Once a baby is born they’re screaming and crying and you feel like the happiest person on earth. But little did you know that a baby’s cry could be extremely irritating. Babies all have certain things that need to be taken care of. Like you need to feed the baby. Since babies are growing they’ll start eating a lot and you’ll have to feed them every ounce of food even if you don’t want to. For example, my baby brother would cry and scream all day until he gets his food. He would really cry and cry and cry until her gets his bottle… (Do you know how irritating that could be?) Then after you feed the baby you’ll have to change him or her. Babies tend to poop after they eat and they may get cranky or fidgety. Just look out for the signs.

Having a baby will also only add to the bills and money being used. You’ll have to buy baby food, clothes, shoes, pampers, and also at the same time pay bills. You may have to work more jobs because of that. For instance, if you don’t really have a job then you’ll probably struggle especially if you think that your man will always be there for you. (Because he probably won’t.) Also you wouldn’t want your child cold and living on the streets. You would want the best for your child and in order for that to happen, you will have to work. It may not seem like you need to work because you have a man or a husband but you should have on just in case.

Once your child finishes high school. You’ll want them to go to college. To go to college you’ll have to pay. You may have to have multiple jobs for this reason too. You would want your child to graduate college and make his or her life even better by being someone they want to be. In addition, college is something that everybody wants for their child. The military isn’t always an option. So just save up money for your child. Even if they’re trying to get a scholarship you should still save money because you never know what can happen until it happens.

While some people may think that they’re ready to commit to a relationship by having a baby you may be wrong. You have to know what you’re getting yourself into. (Sleepless nights, constant crying, stinky diapers..) Just think about the decision before you make it. Do you have the patience to feed and burp a baby? Is your money situations straight? Is your child going to college? Are you actually ready to have a child? Therefor babies are an extremely big responsibility.
