Creating Life is Just Truly Awesome 

I have always felt blessed to have been a part of creating five lives. My children really are my world, bit cliche I know, buts it’s true.

I have always been fascinated that from the moment of conception this human being growing in the safe place of a woman’s womb is protected from everthing in the outside world. I’m not really interested in biology or the religious aspects. I’m awe struck that a baby arrives in the world nine or so months later.

It has never ceased to amaze me that with the amount of babies being born, that the vast majority goes without a hitch.

The human body is quite incredible and also so complicated. To keep pro-recreating at the level it does and this leads me onto a subject that I have difficulty in understanding. What makes an adult abuse a child?

It is beyond my comprehension and understanding why somebody would abuse a child. Whenever I see a television report or newspaper article of another child being mistreated, abused or worse, my blood boils. What possesses these people to hurt small children? Of course I often read that these adults had issues such as terrible childhoods etc. Well, I don’t buy it. There is no excuse to hurt a defenceless child that can’t and won’t invariably fight back or say something to a responsible adult.

Then when these awful disgusting people are caught they are nowhere near dealt with by the law properly, well at least in my view they’re not. If they dealt with them in a manner that is unacceptable to society while being incarcerated, do I sympathise? Not one one bit. They need to feel what’s it’s like. What they have done to innocent children. I call that karma.

We do on a regular basis blame social workers for failing to protect children and there is no doubt they are sometimes at fault, but their workload is enormous and it must be one of the most difficult jobs ever, certainly one I wouldn’t want to do.

My five children, as I have already said are the centre of my life. I have watched the three oldest grow up into well balanced adults and even now I would protect from any harm, as I did when they were growing up. With my four year twin girls, my feeling is exactly the same. I will always protect them from harm and keep them safe.

I don’t condone smacking children. I have always believed it’s medicine for adults, to makes them feel better and give them a sense of control and power. For all of that I’m not cricisting parents that do smack. It’s their child, their choice. Although the next time you do smack your child remember that moment you held them in your arms as a new born, you would not even consider it, would you? No, because at that moment most of us decide to protect and nurture our children for their life. To never allow harm come to them. So when I hear of parents hurting their children to any degree I ask myself what changed?

I really don’t understand how you could hurt your own flesh and blood, but unfortunately it goes on.

With Christmas just around the corner, Im looking forward to all my family spending Christmas Day together, and I know we will have a very happy time, but my heart goes out to those children that this Christmas Day will just be another day, no different from the previous day, and most likely won’t receive presents or eat a massive Christmas dinner. Their abuse at the hands of an adult won’t stop just because it’s Christmas Day.

To create life with a loving partner is in my opinion the reason we are here and to then abuse and to put that innocent child through physical or mental torture is terrible and inexcusable.

Would love to know what you think.
