Having a Baby

For some having a baby was an accident that eventually led to a family. Having a baby for other couples is a challenge. Some of them have to undergo medical treatment just to make sure they'll have a baby. Having a baby is never an easy thing for them. It's expensive and not to mention psychologically damaging.

Most couples consider having a baby as among the goals of marriage. I said most because I've encountered a couple who has a quite weird perspective on this. For them having a baby is not an option. And they hate babies. Weird.

I just don't understand why there are couples (married couples for that matter)who are not interested in having a baby. I mean it's acceptable if they have medical problems in begetting. But no, it's a choice. Oh well, it's their choice. Pakialam ko ba? Wala lang. Hindi ko lang maintindihan.

Isn't that marriage is about building a family? And part of building a family is to have kids?

Again, maybe this has something to do with my perspective of family. It's just weird. And sayang ang genes.

Maybe my irritation is coupled by the fact that a good friend (who's in a relationship) is actually anxious about her situation. She has to undergo medication to make sure that when she gets married, she'll be able to procreate. I've witnessed how worried she is and I just don't understand why there are couples who hate babies. Oh well. Ganun ata talaga ang buhay.
